Developers and Saurik together Cracked watch OS 2 to run Native apps


Saurik (Jay freeman) and developer Adam Bell and Steve Troughton-Smith have hacked watch OS 2 to run Native apps on it. 9to5Mac told the web as Troughton-Smith posted a video last night showing the proof. Apple told in WWDC that Native Apple support is coming to Watch OS, But that native will not be what developers are looking for. The logic code now runs on the watch, but raw access to the user interface is still not allowed on watchOS 2.

This means frameworks like UIKit cannot be used to draw truly custom UI. Instead developers must rely on the same techniques employed with current WatchKit apps that revolve around image sequences to create more interesting effects.


The hack is very a hope for Jailbreak of Apple Watch, its not obvious that its not the jailbreak. The team didn't reveal how they made it or any further detail.
