From what I've understood (which could be completly wrong and therefore this post will make no sense), I need to create separate APP Id's in my developer portal for my Watch app/extension.
I did that, and I now have 3 app ID's and their complete related set of provisioning profiles up and running.
The archive works fine and I'm about to submit but, I see that because there is an app ID, I can link a PUSH Certificate (apn). Since the Apple Watch doesn't really get notified, but the phone does, do I really need to create specific certificates for the apple Watch ? And use their related .p12 wherever I would need them (parse.com for example) ?
Or can I simply ignore that and keep the regular phone certificates ?
Thanks
If you already have push notifications set up properly for your iPhone app, they will be delivered to the Watch automatically. You don't need to set up any separate certificates.
Additionally, I have deployed a number of apps already and have first-hand experience.
