Marco Arment’s article at https://marco.org/2018/02/26/watchkit-baby-apps
describes how frustrating it is to develop for Apple Watch.
I hope Apple takes notice and improves this situation.
Last year I wanted to develop my own timer and repetition counter for my
workouts at the gym, but in the end it seemed impossible. I don’t know if
the situation has now changed, but at the time, there was no way to
programmatically set the real timer, and no way to set a label to act as a
timer--and convince the OS not to kill your app while it was counting down.
The best I could do for a timer was schedule a notification and hope it
worked. (Occasionally I have to reboot my phone and watch because
apparently they each think the other handled incoming notifications, so
neither triggers an alert.)
