Interested in an unofficial Apple Watch app?

@featherless. Clearly a lot of added work has gone into v1.2 and the new info/look in Details is a nice touch. Nice one and, once again, thanks for all of your work on this.

https://electricsidecar.app/ is now live and serves as a landing page for the app. Just a couple more steps left and I should be good to submit the app to the App Store (or at a minimum make it an official TestFlight app so that folks can more easily join)

Looking great and best of luck with the submission- nice watch face choice btw (have exact same but with activity and calendar as Apple complications ).

Still hoping my suggested feature might be realized yet ...... hey, gotta keep asking !

Cheers, C.

Well it's not like you haven't been busy re-writing the entire Auth code!! Looking forward to it

Any suggestions why I couldn’t find/add widget?

 

[electricsidecar]

Sometimes the TestFlight update process seems to nuke iOS’ awareness of the widgets. I’ve noticed this has gotten worse on iOS 17. The only thing that seems to work is opening and force closing the app a couple times, but I’m not sure what the root cause of this is yet. I’ll likely file a radar to Apple.

I’m on iOS 16.5 on iPhone and iPad and I’ve never seen your widget at all.
I’ll restart phone/ipad, then open/close app several times… i guess thst you meant your app, not TestFlight?

 

[ciaranob]

Hmmm - I have actually never seen the iPhone Widget either.

I'm on latest iOS but every kind of Widget search on the phone reveals nothing (used all variations incl Sidecar, Electric Sidecar, Electricsidecar etc when searching in 'Add Widget' etc) - don't see any options to toggle in the Sidecar app nor in TestFlight - its prob staring me in the face - or maybe as you say the latest iOS is not updating its availability?

I use the Lock Screen widgets. Long press the Lock Screen and then hit customize. If you click on the right things you should see the widgets available to select.

Here’s a screenshot of my Lock Screen. See the 2 widgets on the left just below the time.

Ah, crap, didn’t think to look under Wallpapers and having to customize that - I was focused on widgets you add to the from right side swipe screen!!

solved - thx!

Yes, i was able to do that as well, but i’d prefer to see widgets when/after I swipe screen.

Widgets are on the todo list for sure!
