Check if iPhone is paired with apple watch?
So since WatchOS 2 that is possible !
You have to do on iPhone side :
First :
import WatchConnectivity
Then :
if WCSession.isSupported() { // check if the device support to handle an Apple Watch
let session = WCSession.default()
session.delegate = self
session.activate() // activate the session
if session.isPaired { // Check if the iPhone is paired with the Apple Watch
// Do stuff
}
}
I hope It would help you :)
The best you can do is write to a shared NSUserDefaults value the first time the user opens your WK app, then check for that value in your iOS app. Beyond that there's no info you can get.
The idea is taken from @BilalReffas answer, but in WatchOS versions greater than 2.1 activate()
method is asynchronous, so the offered solution won't work (it always returns false
, even if watch is connected)
Firstly import SDK
import WatchConnectivity
Then implement session activation request
if WCSession.isSupported() { // check if the device support to handle an Apple Watch
let session = WCSession.default
session.delegate = self
session.activate() // activate the session
}
Then implement methods from WCSessionDelegate
func session(_ session: WCSession, activationDidCompleteWith activationState: WCSessionActivationState, error: Error?) {
if activationState == .activated && session.isPaired { // Check if the iPhone is paired with the Apple Watch
// Do stuff
}
}
