WatchKit: Handoff from static interface of Long Look?


Our app has implemented the handoff functionality between push notification on the Apple Watch (in our WKUserNotificationInterfaceController subclass) and the main iPhone app. It works with dynamic interface of the notification long look.

However, when I open a notification from the notification center on the Apple Watch (thus resulting in a static long look), handoff is not working with iPhone. The handoff icon is not shown at all on the iPhone lock screen.

Anyone noticed this problem too? Are there any workarounds that make handoff work from a static long look?
