#watchosdev — Public Fediverse posts

New update to Routines! Routines is now multi-platform with the latest build bringing watchOS support with iCloud Syncing!

The UI is very barebones right now, but expect updates to functionality, design, and #A11y in the coming weeks!

Check out the beta at https://getroutines.app

I’m experimenting with building a #watchOS application. Man, the tooling for watch development for Xcode is terrible. Connecting to the watch to fire up a test is painful and often just doesn’t connect.

It seems watch apps are not very popular. Coding a little watch app just for my own fun has shown me so many issues, it’s hard to believe these were not fixed long ago …

Are you still developing watchApps? Do you use WatchApps other than the standard ones?

The separate icon may seem like a gimmick but it really helps to easily distinguish the two app instances at a glance 👀

And on watchOS it's absolutely necessary since there are no names in the app grid!

I may take another stab at making Corner Clock configurable. In my previous attempts any changes to the settings weren't reliable reflected in the widget.

I guess Airport for Testflight is no longer a thing. 🙁

#iosdev Ever wonder what the actual point sizes are for TextStyle fonts (.headline, .body, .caption1, etc.) and how they vary with Dynamic Type changes? I just found this: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/typography#iOS-iPadOS-Dynamic-Type-sizes

There's a ton of useful font related info on that page for all #AppleDeveloper platforms: #ipadosdev #tvosdev #macosdev #visionosdev #watchosdev

The #Apple docs confirm there’s no way to add watchOS as a Supported Destination. 🤔 #Xcode #watchosdev

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-a-multiplatform-app-target

Why does Xcode not allow adding destination support for #watchOS. Is it due to the App/Extension legacy? #IOSDev #watchosdev #Xcode

Made a silly new app. (But also, not actually an app)

Registered a domain.

This must be serious!

I didn’t expect to be hacking some #golang code this evening, and integrating it into a #Swift app, but that’s what happened.

I might have a little project while on annual leave next week, in the hope that watchOS 10 allows custom watch faces…

After much digging I’m a lot closer to figuring out the memory issues in my watch app. It’s worth noting that this behavior only exists when run on Apple Watch. The simulator memory usage remains reasonable throughout. I’ll file some Feedback on it later today.

Here’s the story so far: https://gist.github.com/MrRooni/a10f949a976e26f07a4eacd4b8509111

Alright! Forward progress today. Now I can dig into the tvOS version and CI will watch my back and make sure that the watchOS version stays healthy. #SwiftUI #iOSDev #watchOSDev #tvOSDev

For #iOSDev (and #macOSDev, #watchOSDev, #tvOSDev, #iPadOSDev as well) I still really enjoy using Dash.app.

And for #SwiftUI I’ve really enjoyed SwiftUI Companion. I was just looking for alternatives to the .onAppear() modifier, so I popped into that app to see what I could find. I typed “onAppear” in the search field and landed on a great article with concise examples of Handling Events.

@dxzdb Oh I was missing a hashtag, whoops! #watchOSDev 😅

Anybody have any tips for adding a long-press gesture to a #SwiftUI List, so it doesn’t break list scrolling?
