I have started with Pebble watchfaces programming on my Pebble Time, and although the watchface displays fine, it is loaded as an application, not a watchface, in that it is available in the list of applications, not the watchfaces sub-menu. I found that there are watchface online development sites that will produce actual watchfaces that get installed as such.
What is the difference ? What would I have to add to the code to make it a watchface ? Or manifest file ? The samples with the SDK were all for applications, not watchfaces.
Thanks :-)
Watch apps can do more things than watch faces can. For example, watch faces can't respond to button clicks. The SDK (CloudPebble or the C SDK) generates different code for the two types of programs. So you have to tell it what you are trying to build. In the appinfo.json file there is a section like
"watchapp": {
"watchface": false
},
Change false to true and it should start showing up as a watch face
