I have one complication working for my apple watch app and I would like to add a second style. I put up a very basic prototype, but don't see it available for selection on the watch face. So I'm trying to troubleshoot the issue:
Can I my app support more than one complication? Can I have two complications running at the same time on the watch face? (Or is it either-or case and if I have one, the iOS would not show the second one?) I tried adding a new watch face, but it would not allow me.
Is CLKComplicationTemplateModularSmallRingText
a valid template for ModularSmall
type of complication?
func getCurrentTimelineEntry(for complication: CLKComplication, withHandler handler: @escaping (CLKComplicationTimelineEntry?) -> Void) {
if complication.family == .modularSmall {
let template = CLKComplicationTemplateModularSmallRingText()
template.ringStyle = .open
template.fillFraction = 0.3
let testProvider = CLKSimpleTextProvider(text: "TST", shortText: "S")
sleep.tintColor = UIColor.green
template.textProvider = testProvider
template.tintColor = UIColor.green
let entry = CLKComplicationTimelineEntry(date: Date(), complicationTemplate: template)
// Pass the entry to ClockKit.
handler(entry)
}
else if complication.family == .graphicRectangular {
let template = CLKComplicationTemplateGraphicRectangularLargeImage()
//this complication works...
}
Placeholder template is the same for now:
func getPlaceholderTemplate(for complication: CLKComplication, withHandler handler: @escaping (CLKComplicationTemplate?) -> Void) {
// Pass the template to ClockKit.
if complication.family == .modularSmall {
let template = CLKComplicationTemplateModularSmallRingText()
//...
I see one error in the complication placeholder file (but I'm testing on a 44 mm device) - will fix it and see what's going on. Am I returning a wrong image or wrong template type for the Modular complication? I want a round ring gauge
Turns out I was misled by Apple's documentation. I needed to use GraphicCircular complication(new in WatchOS5) type as opposed to modular (old watch faces)
func circularTemplate() -> CLKComplicationTemplateGraphicCircularOpenGaugeSimpleText{
let template = CLKComplicationTemplateGraphicCircularOpenGaugeSimpleText()
let gauge = CLKSimpleGaugeProvider(style: .ring, gaugeColor: UIColor.green), fillFraction: 0.3)
template.gaugeProvider = gauge
let random = arc4random() % 999
let middle = CLKSimpleTextProvider(text: "4.5", shortText: "4")
middle.tintColor = kRGBColorFromHex(0x657585)
template.tintColor = kRGBColorFromHex(0x657585)
template.centerTextProvider = middle
let bottom = CLKSimpleTextProvider(text: "-\(random)", shortText: "1..")
template.bottomTextProvider = bottom
return template
}
New style:
