Keep watch face up #29

The custom face comes back if you set the right settings for the timeout, but if you put the face to sleep manually the normal watch face comes back. I saw on twitter that Steve was able to get his watch face into the watch face picker but it was “too hacky”. Is there a way we can do it ourselves, even if it’s hacky?

IIRC, I was demonstrating this in the watchOS Simulator, not on an actual watch; it was incredibly complicated, as the watchOS watch face system was not designed to be extended by plugins and is cached in various places and syncs to the Watch app on iPhone. I don't have my notes to go back and see what I did, but until there's a robust jailbreaking scene on watchOS with support for loadable watchfaces, there's not much you can do with this
