1) I've managed to communicate from apple watch to iOS app using a complete swift project (iOS app in swift and Apple Watch target in swift)
Code:
In InterfaceController.swift
@IBAction func buttonPressed() {
let watchMessage = ["SiteName" : "Tech-recipes"]
WKInterfaceController.openParentApplication(watchMessage, reply: { (reply:[NSObject : AnyObject]!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
if let message = reply["Message"] as? String{
println(message)
}
})
}
in AppDelegate.swift
func application(application: UIApplication!, handleWatchKitExtensionRequest userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject]!, reply: (([NSObject : AnyObject]!) -> Void)!) {
if let siteName = userInfo["SiteName"] as? String{
reply(["Message":"Hello from \(siteName)"])
}
}
Output: "Hello from Tech-recipes"
2) However, when I want to integrate the apple watch target in swift to the exiting project in obj-c, it will crash and give me this error: "fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value"
In InterfaceController.swift
@IBAction func buttonPressed() {
let watchMessage = ["SiteName" : "Tech-recipes"]
WKInterfaceController.openParentApplication(watchMessage, reply: { (reply:[NSObject : AnyObject]!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
if let message = reply["Message"] as? String{ //CRASH HERE!!!!
println(message)
}
})
}
iPhoneAppDelegate.m
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleWatchKitExtensionRequest:(NSDictionary *)userInfo reply:(void (^)(NSDictionary *))reply{
// Performs task on phone here
// Sending back a reply
if ([[userInfo valueForKey:@"SiteName"] length]>0) {
//NSMutableDictionary *reply = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[reply setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Hello from %@", [userInfo valueForKey:@"SiteName"]] forKey:@"Message"];
}
}
Update:
--> Noticed that in handleWatchKitExtensionRequest: method the type for userInfo is different in swift and obj-c, in [NSObject : AnyObject]! and NSDictionary respectively. How to solve this?
--> Got an error in error: NSError!: [0] (null) @"NSLocalizedDescription" : @"The UIApplicationDelegate in the iPhone App never called reply() in -[UIApplicationDelegate application:handleWatchKitExtensionRequest:reply:]"
Solved it!
Missed out the reply(aNsdictionary) in the app delegate
