theverge.com - 11 things we just learned about how the Apple
Watch works

"An iPhone is required — at (almost) all times. In Apple’s own words,
Watch apps extend iOS apps. "You begin your Watch app development
with your existing iOS app, which must support iPhone." That’s in part
because Watch apps’ processing power is all coming from the iPhone.

Apple says that "as the wearer interacts with the Watch App, Apple
Watch and iPhone pass information back and forth. Taps and other
messages from Apple Watch cause code in your WatchKit Extension
[e.g. iPhone] to execute."

github - Microsoft Graph and Apple Watch Sample

"Who are you? is a watch sample that lets you find out more about a colleague
in a meeting. It's meant to be a fun take on how you can intersect a wearable
like an Apple Watch with Microsoft Graph, a unified endpoint for accessing data,
relationships and insights that come from the Microsoft Cloud.

This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct. For more
information see the Code of Conduct FAQ or contact opencode@microsoft.com
with any additional questions or comments."

telerik.com - Register Apple Watch and iPhone for Development and Distribution

"To run your bundle on an Apple Watch during the development process,
you need to build and code sign the bundle with provisioning profiles for
each of the three bundle components - the host app, the watch extension
and the watch app. You can use development provisioning profiles or Ad
Hoc distribution provisioning profiles."

so - Xcode 6 error: 'Embedded binary's bundle identifier is not prefixed with the parent app's bundle identifier.'

"It looks like the bundle ID behavior changed when WatchOS 2 arrived.

Previously I had an extension bundle identifier like this:

com.mycompany.myappname.watchkitextension

Somewhere else on Stackoverflow it was mentioned that the extension
bundle identifier should be in this format, but no matter what I tried Xcode
kept throwing errors at me.

The only possible solution is changing the extension bundle identifier to:

com.mycompany.myappname.watchkitapp.watchkitextension"

"The first thing you realize when you start working on a WatchKit app is that it
is not a standalone app. WatchKit apps are nothing more than an extension to
a standard iOS app that you may have already developed."

so Detecting when person wearing an Apple Watch falls

"motion.deviceMotion will just get the latest sample of device-motion data.

So, this might just fetch the data once on when you run it. You will probably
need something like a timer to check the acceleration.

Something like this taken from

so - WatchKit didReceiveApplicationContext not being called

"Check the session to make sure its isPaired and watchAppInstalled
properties are both YES. It seems like updating the shared context while
these are NO will not work.

I was having this issue.

Made a change to not update the context when either condition was NO.
Added an implementation of sessionWatchStateDidChange:, and if both
conditions were YES, updated the context. It worked.

I suspect this in combination with another issue where the phone will not
send the context if the data is not different causes the "never updating"
issue. A workaround of passing a "uuid" did help but I suspect the above is
a better fix."

[Ike]

so - Xcode 11 Beta won't build because of WatchKit?

"Some of the functionality to communicate between the Apple watch with the
iPhone/iPad used to be implemented within the WatchKit framework. But at
some point it got moved into the WatchKitConnectivity framework."
