Our app has implemented the handoff functionality between push notification on the Apple Watch (in our WKUserNotificationInterfaceController subclass) and the main iPhone app. It works with dynamic interface of the notification long look.
However, when I open a notification from the notification center on the Apple Watch (thus resulting in a static long look), handoff is not working with iPhone. The handoff icon is not shown at all on the iPhone lock screen.
I also noticed that handoff does work from static long looks of:
- Apps without custom long look implementations (the ones with roundrect icons in notification center)
- Messages app on the Watch, and maybe more from Apple
Anyone noticed this problem too? Are there any workarounds that make handoff work from a static long look?
Since there's no way to call the call the appropriate Handoff methods for a static notification - owing to the inability to use a custom class - there's no way to accomplish what you're looking for at this time.
