Assets.xcassets in Watch Extension in WatchOS 2

What is the purpose of Assets.xcassets in Watch Extension in WatchOS 2? What images should be included in these assets?

Solution

  • The Assets.xcassets in the WatchKit extension contains CLKImageProvider images used by circular, modular, and utilitarian complications. The images are template images that have a tint color applied to them prior to display.

    Since they are part of an asset catalog group, you would need to specify the group name when referring to those images:

    template.imageProvider = CLKImageProvider(onePieceImage: UIImage(named: "Complication/Circular")!)
