WatchKit - Detecting force touch and bypassing context menu

Is it possible to not show a context menu when the user performs a force touch. And instead show a custom interface controller modally.

Or is it even possible to programmatically detect a force touch.

Solution

  • There is no way to detect a force touch. You can only show a menu on the force touch.

    There is no API to directly respond to a Force Touch. Performing a Force Touch within a WatchKit app will display the menu (if there is one) for the visible WKInterfaceController.
