I want to create an Apple Watch app that allows users to share things right from their wrist.
Is there a built-in Social framework for Apple Watch comparable to the Social framework on iOS?
Your WatchKit extension connects to controls and views in the storyboard using WKInterfaceObject subclasses such as WKInterfaceButton and WKInterfaceLabel . These interface objects act as proxies for your storyboard elements. Use the interface elements to configure the elements in code.
The WatchKit framework provides infrastructure for creating watchOS apps, including an extension delegate that manages background tasks, extended runtime sessions, and Siri intents. The framework also performs other support tasks, such as accessing information about the user's Apple Watch.
Apple is building a grand, unified platform with social elements built-in at its core. It's not about one app, or FaceTime, or even Apple TV+ or Music. Instead, it is about ALL of Apple's apps being connected and working together to form a cohesive, social environment where people can engage with one another.
There isn't a social framework in WatchKit. You could hand off to the phone to do it, but I'm not certain that would be a great user experience.
