Codename One Adds Native Apple Watch and Wear OS Support

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Codename One, an open-source framework for building native apps from a single Java/Kotlin codebase, now supports Apple Watch and Wear OS. The watchOS port uses a dedicated Core Graphics rendering backend inside a SwiftUI shell, while Wear OS support is also included. Developers can reuse phone app code for watch screens, though UI must be adapted for the smaller device.

Meridian48 take
The announcement is notable for cross-platform developers but the watch API's limitations—like no text field editing—mean it's not a silver bullet for wearable apps.
