One fundamental question: what does “local” in Local Notification mean?
A: “local” as in local Wlan
i.e. a local Notification gets sent to all iOS and watchOS devices in the local Wlan
B: “local” as inside the same app
i.e. i.e. a local Notification gets sent just to the sending app.
I want to communicate between iOS app and watchOS app without using Apples servers.
If (as some tests seem to indicate) B is true, then this would be useless for my purpose.
How could one then communicate between iOS app and watchOS app?
