Apple Watch + Flutter = No Problem!
summary
Shows a working pattern to extend a Flutter app with an Apple Watch app by routing messages through the iPhone using Method Channels and Apple’s WatchConnectivity (WCSession). Implementation details: add a Watch target, enable bitcode, set the watch build target to watchOS, add WCCompanionApp bundle identifier in the watch extension Info.plist, forward method names from Dart to iOS to the watch and back with WCSession.sendMessage. Demo counter works; note development-mode reachability issues but release builds wake the chain.
