Python on watchOS README

This document provides a quick overview of some watchOS specific features in the Python distribution.

Python on watchOS is largely the same as Python on iOS; most of the instructions in the iOS README can be used for watchOS builds, substituting:

  • watchOS as the identifier for Platforms/Apple invocations; e.g.,

    • python Platforms/Apple build watchOS
    • python Platforms/Apple ci watchOS
    • python Platforms/Apple test watchOS

  • watchOS resources are stored in the Platforms/Apple/watchOS/Resources directory

  • The watchOS SDK version is controlled with the WATCHOS_SDK_VERSION environment variable.

  • The minimum supported watchOS SDK version is controlled with the WATCHOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable.

  • When referencing platforms, the watchOS compiler triples are:

    • arm64_32-apple-watchos for Apple Watch devices
    • arm64-apple-watchos-simulator for Apple Watch simulators on ARM64 hardware
    • x86_64-apple-watchos-simulator for Apple Watch simulators on x86_64 hardware

  • The watchOS testbed Xcode template project is stored in Platforms/Apple/testbed/watchOSTestbed.

  • platform.ios_ver() will return watchOS-relevant version information.
