Build the accompanying iPhone App

[joereddington]

Why,

Because it seems like a good way of getting the sounds and timer aspects working.

So what are the itterations?

• [X] A button that plays a sound.
• [x] A sound played after 10 seconds.
• [x] A countdown to the seconds.
• [x] A button to reset the countdown.
• [x] A new screen, With a timer counting down.

Itterations:

• [ ] Take the timer off the watch
• [x] make the phone app landscape
• [x] make the phone things bigger
• [x] watch should pass the name of the todo (or the node itself)

What did I learn?

• To take things off mute when I'm using them.
• How to attach a debugger to the iPhone rather than the watch
• How to run an app on only the iPhone.
• How to create new classes for the iPhone app (took a long time).
• That resources (like 'ring.wav') only have to be files once, but you can change the membership to make them part of many things.

Started with rewriting the log. Now to remap.

I'm trying this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1032776/countdown-timer

• Committed a version that counts down from ten. 1d744502c622cfafbe0dc0db42824638c6e5407b
• Committed a slightly pretty version with NO new functionality. 52b41ac2b3613a72657ac426b5be1422e89a7c7a
• Committed now uses countdown mp3. (it's the sonic drowning sound.

10:21 to 11:51:

I've remapped because we got to the end of the actions.

Now working on the watch communication parts.

Things I learned:

• Each page on the phone listerns for watch communication seperately - but you have to set each of them up to do it.
• The watch dev cycle is very very long again.
• The dev video I watched was actually reasonably helpful. (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2015/713/?time=39) and I should probably watch more.
• The dreaded "linked command failed with exit code 1" turned up again - I simply went back a few steps and it went away - think regularly commits are a good idea though.
• Making the screen stay active is actually fairly easy and is a single command. ([UIApplication sharedApplication].idleTimerDisabled = YES;) 1d744502c622cfafbe0dc0db42824638c6e5407b

After a copy edit and a remap I've made some cosmetic changes to the app and commited. While the watch installation process is happening I'm going to send things to the server (harder than you think, because I'd never pushed and the repository was the old python code.

I'm passing a string with the name of a task over. But the problem is that it works... some of the time... Which is odd. Right now it's stuck on shave head and that's odd. I think it's got something to do with redrawing the screen (which doesn;'t appear to happen automatically in didReceievMessage - presumably because it's NOT intended to directly affect the view.

Turns out that there were also probems with me failing to properly connect the labels up - the task label was been accessed different than the time one.

Future goals

Move to the immediate communcation model (if you aren't already) (we can drop the sending of the whole log... it's probably getting big... (
