Is there alternative for CIFIlter to generate QR code in watch os 6

Question

I am developing a watch independant app. I want to generate QRcode on watchkit, but since coreImage doesnt work with watchkit, is there any other way we can do this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I use libraries, which supported watch os.

For example EFQRCode

Answer 2

I've a QR Code appearing in a Watch App.

I generated it as a UIImage -- encoded it as a Base64 String and send it across to the Watch as Data using WatchConnectivity. This does use CIFiter but only the Phone side to generate a UIImage.

On the Watch I decoded the UIImage from the Data.
