WatchOS2 network Communication

Question

Does someone know if it is possible with the new WatchOS2 to manage for UDP listener (to receive and send data) directly from the Watch without the use of the iPhone as support? I have an app with an UDP listener that I would like to transfer to the Watch to avoid communication between the device.

Answer 1

I believe you're going to want to watch 'Introducing Watch Connectivity' from WWDC 2015. They discuss different ways that Apple Watch can receive data, and one of those is directly from "the cloud" rather than through the iPhone.

I'm unsure how many people will be able to help you specifically with these abilities being so new, so if you figure it out please let us know how you did it. Good luck!
