Hey there, it’s Anthony here from AnthonyDesignCode, and today we’re gonna talk about how to handle notifications, glances, and complications in your watchOS app using SwiftUI.

First things first, let’s talk about notifications. In watchOS, notifications are a powerful way to keep users engaged with your app. They allow you to send important information, such as updates or alerts, to the user’s wrist. To handle notifications in your SwiftUI app, you’ll need to use the NotificationCenter API. Here’s an example of how to set up a notification in your app:

let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound]) { (granted, error) in
    if granted {
        let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
        content.title = "New Notification"
        content.body = "This is the body of the notification"
        content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default
        let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 5, repeats: false)
        let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "notification", content: content, trigger: trigger)
        center.add(request)
    }
}
