Just started apple watch programming.
I want to know that is there any way to check all the installed apps on the apple watch simulator as in the iPhone Simulator.
Yes, but it is a bit different from iPhone apps. When you install iOS 8.2+, Apple Watch app is automatically installed. If you open this app, you can check what apps are installed with WatchKit extension and also, you can use it to lock notifications.

I have an app made with React Native that is already working on for Android.
I'm working on Debian 10.
For Android I build my app-release.aab file with this command:
bash android/gradlew --project-dir android --project-prop MYAPP_UPLOAD_STORE_FILE=my-key.keystore --project-prop MYAPP_UPLOAD_KEY_ALIAS=my-key --project-prop MYAPP_UPLOAD_STORE_PASSWORD=mypassword --project-prop MYAPP_UPLOAD_KEY_PASSWORD=mypassword clean bundleRelease
I've been creating this bundle for like a year with no problems, but now I have a task that is "now we want the iOS version"
What do I need to create this iOS version? I'm pretty lost, I have never created nothing for iOS, I just have this React Native app that works ok on Android.
I've been reading some mediums, youtube videos, and some questions here in Stackoverflow but they talk about that it's possible to create the app for both Android and iOS but I can't find a source of clear information about what I need for.
Do I need a Mac?
How should I create the bundle for iOS?
First, if you want to publish to the iOS app store, you need to buy a paid Apple Developer Program, regardless if you have a Mac or not.
Okay, if you have a Mac there is a good amount of documentation: https://reactnative.dev/docs/next/publishing-to-app-store and more. The below is if you do not have a Mac, or do not want to develop on it.
No Mac
You cannot build macOS apps locally without a Mac.
That being said, you could look at CI/CD, for example, Github Actions or Travis CI, as running macOS on them is possible. If you are already pushing your code to Github, I recommend Github Actions. If you do not want to use CI/CD, you can use Expo. With Expo, you can build your app on their servers, and all you need is a paid Apple Developer Program (no Mac).
With vanilla react-native for local development/builds you will need a Mac as Xcode (free) is required for iOS builds. It's propriety software to macOS. You will also need an Apple Developer account to setup development/distribution certificates for deployments.
You can then use Xcode and the iOS certificates/provisions to generate a bundle for iOS.
I runned a react native app in different devices.A device is iOS 9 and another is iOS 10. The device iOS 9 will encounter a error that could not connect to development server.The device iOS 10 can run successfully.I use react native 0.4.1. I will show you more informations if you need. I don't know what should I show.And you can tell me some ideas if you know some possible reason
I believe all the devices must be connected to the same Apple Developer account. Check if both of your devices have the same Apple ID and try to run them through Xcode.
Also make sure you follow all the steps in these guides
Running On Device
Launching Your App on Devices
If it doesn't work but you are still able to install the app, try to run the app with Wi-Fi while being on the same network as your mac, here is the guide on how to do that
Cheers!
I am seeing the following warning in iTunes Connect when I add a build to an app version:
Your binary doesn’t support Apple Watch. The screenshots for Apple
Watch won’t be shown on the App Store.
The bundle does include an Apple watchOS2 native app, and it installs fine over TestFlight.
Is there anything I should do to resolve this issue, or does iTunes Connect not yet recognize native watchOS2 apps?
When I posted this question, although Apple had released Xcode 7 GM, iTunes Connect did not have support for the submission of iOS 9 and watchOS 2 apps.
Today, Apple released the following press release, and I was able to submit my watchOS 2 app with no errors.

I'm trying to install my iOS app on to devices running iOS 7.0. I can install them on my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1 jailbroken. But currently I'm not able to do so on a friend iPad 4 with iOS 7.0.
For installing them on JB devices I'm using JailCoder .
It works without any problem and I can code and compile my test apps, and put them on JB devices without any effort.
Recently trying to investigate possibilities I found an application named PP25 for Windows, it is a chinese application and it is said to be able to install cracked apps on NON-JB devices.
So i tried to see ig it works somehow, I was able to get my apps converted as ipas from my phone and download them to desktop with it, and i can then upload on other JB devices, thanks to a Cydia application named AppSync, pretty good indeed, but I tried and wasn't able to install them on iOS 7.
That was disappointing, I made additional tests and it appears that the PP Assistant application is able to install cracked apps on iOS 7.0 too, but not my unsigned apps (fails to verify the app rights).
Indeed there is a section in the chinese application where you can download and install commercial apps on iOS 7.0, so there must be a trick they use to re-sign the apps to make it appear as it's a legit app and thus be able to upload to the device even if not jailbroken.
If someone has any idea of what they actually do to make this happen, this would be very useful to know to test apps without JB on every device.
Non-jailbroken devices require valid code-signing to execute binaries. Either wait for a jailbreak to surface for iOS7.X, or find a code-signing service (they are available out there).
Using Xcode 7, you can install your app to your device using a freely available Apple ID.
Free On-Device Development
Now everyone can run and test their own app on a device—for free. You can run and debug your own creations on a Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch without any fees, and no programs to join. All you need to do is enter your free Apple ID into Xcode. You can even use the same Apple ID you already use for the App Store or iTunes. Once you’ve perfected your app the Apple Developer Program can help you get it on the App Store.
See Launching Your App on Devices for detailed information about installing and running on devices.

Just a quick q about iOS development..
I'd love to be able to run a certain game emulator on my iPad..
If it's released under open source is there any thing stopping me from compiling it and running it in an emulator or getting a provisioning profile and running it on my device?
Do jailbroken apps tend to use libraries that wont run on a vanilla copy of iOS?
I.e. Do they patch the kernel to get full control of the video controller etc..
Thanks
Daniel
I think the jailbroken apps can utilize eglibc or glibc, as when I jailbroke me iPod Touch, I remember looking over the installed packages, and remember seeing something along the lines of glibc.
In short, I think if the app is self-sufficient, you probably could package it with XCode, but if it requires some low-level APIs and libraries, you're out of luck.
