WatchKit Notifications
summary
Covers WatchKit notification specifics: short-look vs long-look UI, how long-look supports custom content but not interactive controls, and the distinction between static vs dynamic interfaces with the required completion handler fallback. Shows concrete tooling: creating an .apns JSON payload, duplicating the watch run scheme to do APNS payload simulator testing, and handling up to four actions on-device. Demonstrates a sample app “possum” and a Canary real-world alert; demo runs on a loaner laptop, and notes a key constraint: requires watch app even for custom notifications.
