This is a sprint designed to get Mrs Landingham to play music at specific time queues. The first thing to do is to get Mrs Landingham to Play sounds at all.
We leaded a few things in the process. Firstly we learned that if the player is given a filepath that isn't valid, then it crashes our app (which at least gives us an
I'm here and this is what I want.
First order of buisness - get it to play a sound when you press a button.
18:50:
Stackoverflow instantly raises the question - 'how do you store a sound file on the watch...
18:58:
I've given a random attempt, we'll see how it works (if it fails, I can put something onto stackoverflow)
19:03:
Hmm. Running on watch, and loading sign. But nothing coming up. Let's have another look.
19:04:
There's some debug:
2017-09-08 19:03:49.111732+0100 Mrs Landingham WatchKit Extension[516:2501915] [default] -[WKAudioFileAsset _initWithURL:title:albumTitle:artist:]_block_invoke:39: Received title: ring.wav
19:08:
Let's try it with silent mode off...
19:08:
Nope...
19:11:
Trying with absolute path to sound.
19:16:
I think I NSLog broke therthing...
19:26:
Okay, since I put in the full path I'm getting it crashing every time. That's unhelpful.
19:31:
Trying the name 'bing' also broke everything...

So the implication is that this must be correctly identifying the file - if I change the path even slightly it completely breaks.
So the question becomes. Why is it NOT making a noise?
17:43:
So https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30744166/playing-sound-in-apple-watchkit suggests that I need to do most of the work in the awake section. Let's try that.
17:47:
I've moved the declaration to be a class variable, and put most of the intialisation code into the awakeWithContext file.
17:48:
It worked!
17:48:
Wait, it worked exactly once...Hmmm.
17:56:
Ah - it works exactly once each time that we go into this interface. Hmmm.
17:57:
I'm trying a backwards way of doing it in case that helps.
18:01:
It did and I've committed, it's still only working thought the bluetooth headphones tho..

Some argument in the comments here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28980152/play-sound-from-apple-watch-speaker
This is how we do the reminders, by finding out what the time will be in 5:00 and then checking how close we are to the current time...
Here's how you do the sound:
