[SOLVED] How do I access the watchOS 10 double tap and other accessibility gestures

How do I access the watchOS 10 double tap and other accessibility gestures

I would like to trigger parts of my app with the watchOS 10 double tap or other accessibility gestures that were introduced in older watchOS versions.

I tried to use the normal SwiftUI gesture recognition or the WKGestureRecognizer but both don't seem to support the wanted double tap with the fingers.

Solution

On Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, people can trigger a scene’s primary action by tapping their index finger and thumb together twice. In watchOS 11 and later, you can assign control, such as a Button or Toggle as the scene’s primary action, customizing how your app responds to double tap. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/watchos-apps/enabling-double-tap

Button ("Start Activity") {
    startActivity = true
}
// Set this button as the primary action for double tap.
.handGestureShortcut(.primaryAction)
