iOS Widget Overview
The Apple Watch Extension ensures your content is optimized for preview on the Apple Watch. Primarily, one article is shown, and the Show More option displays the next 3 latest articles.
As shown above, the widget will display a featured image and the title of each article, as well as the option to Save.
Select Your Feed
Select a default feed for your app’s extension! You can choose any feed (RSS or Custom Feed via Feed Builder), that contains articles.
Navigate to App Creator > Design and click on Apple Watch on the left-hand side.
Click on Chooser Feed and your Content folder will pop up; navigate to the feed you would like to add. Click Select next to the feed.
Apple Watch Setup
Reach out to submissions@mazsystems.com to make sure that your iOS build is bundled properly with Apple Watch. Once that has been confirmed, navigate to Content > Channels and scroll down to Apple Watch under Mobile Apps.
Click on Setup and add a minimum of one screenshot of your app on an Apple Watch. For more instructions on how to take Apple Watch screenshots, please refer to Apple's documentation.
Now that your Apple Watch is all set up, you can reach out to submissions@mazsystems.com again to update your iOS app and your Apple Watch will be bundled into that build when it goes live!
