How to simulate the Local Notification in apple Watch App?

objective-c, watchkit, xcode

Solution

It is not possible to have a Watch app react to a `UILocalNotification` in the simulator. However, it is almost identical to reacting to a push notification, except it gets routed through a couple of different methods.

If you're presenting an actionable notification, your `WKUserNotificationInterfaceController` subclass would override `-didReceiveLocalNotification:withCompletion:` instead of `-didReceiveRemoteNotification:withCompletion:`.

If your Watch app is getting launched in response to interacting with one of your actionable notifications, then your root `WKInterfaceController` would implement `-handleActionWithIdentifier:forLocalNotification:` or `-handleActionWithIdentifier:forRemoteNotification:`, as appropriate.

From WatchKit's point-of-view, those are the only distinctions between remote and local notifications.

Problem

I am trying to simulate the local notification view in apple watch simulator. Does any one known how to simulate the local notifications in apple watch ? I have done some research for that but didn't found any answer for the above. There is a way to simulate the PUSH NOTIFICATION but not for the LOCAL NOTIFICATION.
