Preface
With the increasing amount of new wearable devices hitting the market, wearables are the next wave of mobile computing technology. After the release of Apple's WatchKit SDK, a whole new world of exciting development possibilities awaits us.
Apple Watch App Development provides you with a practical approach that shows you how to develop and build Apple Watch apps using the Xcode Integrated Development Environment. You will be introduced to the architecture and limitations of the Apple Watch platform, followed by an in-depth look at the Swift programming language, where we talk about closures, tuples, protocols, delegates, and how to work with Xcode playgrounds.
We also discuss more advanced topics, such as notifications, glances, Apple Pay, as well as the Core Location and Watch Connectivity frameworks to synchronize data between the Apple Watch and the iPhone using the WatchKit platform. By the end of this book, you will have a good understanding of how to build real-world applications for the Apple Watch platform using the WatchKit framework and Swift 2.0.
In this book, I have tried my best to keep the code simple and easy to understand by providing a step-by-step approach with lots of screenshots at each step to make it easier to follow. You will soon be mastering the different aspects of Apple Watch wearable programming, as well as mastering the technology and skills that are needed to create your own applications for the Apple Watch platform.
