Did you get anywhere with this? I basically only want widget refreshes when the device is unlocked for the HealthKit data store. It seems frustrating to have to request updates every 15 minutes when most return no data because the device is locked. Ideally I'd like to say update every 5 minutes, but only when the device is unlocked, and preferable with a priority call on unlock. Along side this Apple Watch only syncs its HealthKit data to the watch periodically. Calling a widget refresh at this point would be perfect.

Yes of course, it's FB8970333. I filed it 6 months ago when I first thought it was a bug but heard nothing back so still wondering if its intended behaviour? The feedback include a dead simple sample project with similar to above code. Thanks

I've not been able to get the always on display feature working throughout the entire summer. My app has a deployment target of WatchOS 6 mostly to support Series 1 & 2 Apple Watch models. Do you think that I need to drop support for WatchOS 6 & 7 in order to get my app working with the Always On display for WatchOS 8? Because even in the latest RC build (RC Xcode 13, RC iOS 15 and RC WatchOS 8), I can't get it to behave differently from how it did with WatchOS 7 and the time. I've also tried adding WKSupportsAlwaysOnDisplay and setting it to TRUE. No luck.

I second this question and behaviour here. I'd like to know if my independent Watch app will still be available in the WatchOS App Store on WatchOS 6 devices if I release an update with the minimum deployment target of WatchOS 7. And if the user has a newer iPhone that supports a later version of my app, but the watch doesn't, what happens then? Thanks

Same for me trying to ship a TestFlight beta of my app which uses the new Charts framework. Crashes on launch for a large proportion of users with the following message: Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: DYLD 4 Symbol missing Symbol not found: _$s6Charts11BuilderPairVMn Referenced from: <E7FDC397-7B61-3C7C-A6A0-441BD43EFDC1> /Volumes/VOLUME/*/<App_Name>.app/Heart Hive Expected in: <D800F5CA-04A9-3D85-A4A1-8AEACDF75A13> /System/Library/Frameworks/Charts.framework/Charts (terminated at launch; ignore backtrace)

This issue has not been solved for me even using Xcode 14 Beta 4 when distributing via TestFlight. I've not been able to test Beta 5 yet as I can't submit any builds currently, will report back once I've tested this.

This was fixed in iOS 15, issue persists for iOS 14 even if built with Xcode 13.

Same issue here, not resolved yet...

As of today I have now been able to upload a build using Xcode 14 Beta 5. Hope yours is fixed too!

Second this issue. Xcode 14 GM iOS 16 GM iPhone 12 mini

Having the exact same set of problems here with complications and WatchOS 9 & iOS 16. Wondering if it might be an Xcode 14 problem too as its causing problems for an old version of my app that used to work. An update from Apple Engineers would be very appreciated...

I'm having lots of problems with my published app which I think are similar. Since merging my watch extension and watch app to one target it's wreaked havoc on my complications (I've not even started on WidgetKit yet and using that in my complications). My users are generally finding that complications templates all work find but they often get dashes "--" after updating my app. The only solution has been to change the complication in the slot to a different one, and then move it back again, al then works fine. I think it must be because of some bundle or id change in the complication but it's an absolute nightmare and I'd roll back if I didn't think I'd just get the same grief from all the users who it now works for. I'm targeting WatchOS 8 or later and the main app function is reading HealthKit data and displaying it on complications. On a separate but possible related note to this, since moving to one watch app target I've also gained duplicate HealthKit permissions in the iPhone Privacy Settings. I have a feedback in for this FB11704560 but it's been completely silent for over a month....

It feels to me like every year advances are promised in improving watch app build, installing & debugging with Xcode. Sadly these fixes and changes seem to either not do that or introduce other errors. Having an Apple Watch Series 6 & Newer or SE 2 is a good start because they have the dual band wifi chip needed to work with networks at 5GHz, debugging over Bluetooth is pointless. Using Xcode 14 is probably the best debugging experience I've had over the Apple Watch lifetime, but the standard is so low its not saying much. Once I have app building and debugging working I can do endless app builds to the watch without issue in one session. But its just getting it working initially thats the issue. Problems such as: Copying Watch debug symbols Saying Developer mode not enabled on watch when it is Getting a random failed to install WatchKit app on Xcode with no further details No paired Apple Watch even being listed for an iPhone that definitely has one You get this idea....

In the end I fixed this and got the behaviour I wanted without the need for a custom solution. The solution was to wrap the whole thing in one navigationStack rather than individual ones. I had already tried this but had the bug mentioned with the navigationTitle not displaying properly. This was fixed by setting the NavigationTitle on the TabView to the same title as the title on the first Tab item view. This is likely a bug which I'll report. Thanks

No, there's no way for third party apps to trigger HRV readings from Apple Watch (unlike heart rate which is possible). However, since the new AF History feature launched with WatchOS 9, I've noted that enabling that changes the number of daily HRV reading the watch records from roughly 5 to roughly 50. Users have to enable this feature though and it currently "requires" the user to have a diagnosis of AF. Hopefully the additional HRV readings roll out to all users with WatchOS 10.
