HKWorkoutSession isn't keeping app at front of Apple Watch

Question

It has been stated that an app running a HKWorkoutSession will have special privileges over other watchOS 2 apps, so when a user looks at their Apple Watch, it will go to the vi

Answer 1

We're seeing that too, for the moment we've made sure 'opens last activity' is configured.

When the UI is active we start a dispatch_timer to request and process data in 1 second intervals.

Make sure you do any significant processing using the NSUserProcessInfo method though and pause the dispatch_timers whenever you are no longer active. You'll get crashes otherwise.
