Watch compliction

[creepymonster]

@bassrock i had quite a struggle with it until I had everything up and running again (all sorts of things with bundle identifiers).

Maybe you like to look over it once :)

Many greetings

@creepymonster Re-looking into this, I think some things will need to be updated. Been a bit since I did watchOS apps (they now run on the watch 😅 instead of via the phone), the data can't easily be shared as I thought without implementing WatchConnectivity. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchconnectivity/implementing_two-way_communication_using_watch_connectivity

I'll take a look this weekend at that.

Thanks a lot :)

I have no experience with the Apple Watch at all.

As for the adjustments for WatchConnectivity I was not sure. I've always read about "Two-Way Communication" in that context - we actually only have One-Way, from the phone to the Watch.

I didn't have any data from the iPhone in the simulator, though. But maybe the Shared App Group on the iPhone is only there for different apps on the Watch 🤷.

Many greetings

@creepymonster I started #508 but wcsession is pretty tricky, i'll need to do a bunch of reading up to get something reliable. May need to get back to this later.

Hi guys,

I'm Tobi, also from Berlin.

I came across your app because the Libre lacks a bit in terms of UI.

Are you still working on the Apple Watch app? Maybe I can help you a bit. I have been through the same struggle myself.

Am I right in thinking that you use a lot of user defaults for data?

With cloudkitcontainers you could outsource the data to a framework and use it for both apps.

Otherwise there is no way around the watch connectivity. Most of the time it's important to have two-way communication just to ask the phone for data.

I will check out this PR during the week and can give you some guidance if you want.

Hope we can make this work! Any update on this Tobi?

Omg, I'm sorry. I viewed it and got lost in other things.

I will add it to my todos and take another look. The biggest problems will be update times. There is a budget and you need live updates. There is no perfect way. You could update through remote notifications or use CloudKit. I recently discovered a nice drop in replacement for AppStorage called cloud storage. Will get back to you

@creepymonster it's hard to test, as I just used this app once while checking how my glucose levels are for 2 weeks.

I'm not sure how the sensor is allowed to update, but in general this frequent updates are not possible, except you directly talk to the watch.
