Passing data to Apple Watch app

by

This applies to OS 1 only. See below for better answers.

I got it working using your method. I guess there’s a couple of things you can check:

1) Are you synchronising the defaults after you set the value:

defaults?.synchronize();
NSLog("%@ ", defaults?.dictionaryRepresentation())

2) Have you enabled the App Group in both your app and your extension?

App Group capability for App Target
App Group capability for Watch Extension Target

3) Are you using the correctly named app group when constructing the NSDefaults? For example, I use:

NSUserDefaults(suiteName: "group.com.brindysoft.MyWatch");

Once all that’s set up I run the app, set the value in the defaults, then run the glance target which reads the value from the default and that seems to work!
