Communication between Iphone and Apple watch

[ghost]

Hello, I don't understand because in this plugin you use MMwormhole and don't use "Sharing Data with Your Containing iOS App" or "Communicating Directly with Your Containing iOS App" (source: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/WatchKitProgrammingGuide/DesigningaWatchKitApp.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014969-CH3-SW1 ). Why can't you communicate without MMwormhole? Why don't you have create a plugin that communicate directly with the WatchKit Extension? Why should I use the MMwormhole?Is there an advantage? Thanks!

When using the "message passing" communication, as outlined in the readme, MMWormhole creates a bridge between an the native app code and the Watch Extension. This plugin provides a bridge from the WebView to MMWormhole and therefore the Watch Extension. MMWormhole is completely hidden to you in this process.

You can then reference and use MMWormhole in your WatchKit Extension to pass messages back to your WebView.

Ok but why do you use MMWormhole? Could you use the general method on the official doc namely "Sharing Data with Your Containing iOS App" or "Communicating Directly with Your Containing iOS App" ?

MMWormhole does use the "general method", I use MMWormhole so not to duplicate effort. Please read the docs and open a specific issue with the plugin if you have one - thanks.
