We are already creating apps with Ionic framework for iOS and Android devices but now we have a new requirement to build apps for Apple Watch and we were thinking to do it with Ionic v5. I gone through the docs couldn’t find any related material on the topic.
Does Ionic support apps for Apple Watch? If yes, kindly guide. Any lead will be helpful. Thanks in advance!
Ionic doesn’t have native support for building applications specifically for Apple Watch.
From what I’ve seen, WatchOS apps usually need to be built with Swift or Objective-C using Xcode and WatchKit. Ionic’s awesome for mobile apps, but it doesn’t really work for Apple Watch stuff. You’d probably have to start a new project in Xcode for the watch and then connect it to your Ionic app if that’s what you’re after. Honestly, this reminds me of when I ditched the smartwatch headaches and went for something classic like a patek philippe replica—way simpler, and it still looks amazing.
I assume you are referring to Capacitor and not the Ionic Framework. Yes, but it’s limited. Check out the Capacitor Watch plugin: Watch Capacitor Plugin API | Capacitor Documentation
