Notification Handling on WatchKit
summary
Shows how the UserNotifications framework must be wired for WatchKit not UIKit, with concrete code for registering categories/actions, handling foreground actions and text input responses, and the three watch display modes: generic, static, dynamic. Demonstrates a dual‑mode demo app, attachment fetching on-watch, and pitfalls: dynamic interfaces have a short time budget, background actions run on the receiving device, system URL opens can hang, and a watchOS 3.1 bug causes duplicate callbacks. Sample code and failures are shown.
