9. New Cloud Project Project types available: • Pebble C SDK • Simple.js • Pebble.js (beta) SDK versions available: 2 and 3. Templates: • Empty project • Minimal • ButtonClick • HelloWorld • AppMessage
10. Import Project • From GitHub • From .zip
11. CloudPebble IDE • Editor • Emulator • Save button
12. Settings
13. Sensors emulation
14. Run Build
15. User Settings
16. Cloud Build
17. Cloud Emulator
18. Controls
19. Controls
20. UI Editor - build layout code with WSIWYG
21. Pebble SDK (with QEMU Based emulator) https://developer.pebble.com/sdk/install/mac/ https://developer.pebble.com/sdk / brew install pebble/pebble-sdk/pebble-sdk
22. Run standalone emulator pebble install --emulator basalt
23. Documentation https://developer.pebble.com/guides/tools-and-resources/pebble-tool /
24. iOS and Android SDKs https://github.com/pebble/pebble-ios-sdk/ CocoaPods and Carthage supported https://github.com/pebble/pebble-android-sdk/ Gradle, Maven and jar available
25. Development
26. App structure • main() function • app_event_loop() is mandatory • init() and deinit() are optional
27. Window • Window type • window_stack_push() to display
28. TextLayer • Has coordinates • Need to be added to window
29. TextLayer formatting
30. WatchFace TickTimerService Register with TickTimerService: static void tick_handler(struct tm *tick_time, TimeUnits units_changed) {...} tick_timer_service_subscribe(MINUTE_UNIT, tick_handler);
31. Other example of plain old C
32. Customizations • Add resources to appinfo.json, in array media • Use GFont for TextLayer custom fonts • Use GBitmap for BitmapLayer • Use create_with_resource for loading resources • Use _destroy functions to free resources
33. Limitations • Number of resources - 256 • Max resource size - 128kB (Aplite), 256kB (Basalt and Chalk)
34. Worker 1 worker = 1 app worker_launch_app() app_launch_worker() Worker_src Storage API, AppWorkerMessage (send, subscribe)
35. Event Services https://developer.pebble.com/docs/c/Foundation/Event_Service/ https://developer.pebble.com/guides/events-and-services/events/ Handler may listen for event, or use “peek” style to read single data from API • AppFocusService • AccelerometerService • BatteryStateService • ConnectionService • HealthService • TickTimerService
36. HealthService AppInfo.json - add ["capabilities": [ "health" ]
37. Publishing: Register your App https://dev-portal.getpebble.com/

39. Dictation
40. Storage API Limited to 4KB persist_write_data(key, &data, sizeof(Data)); persist_read_data(key, &data, sizeof(Data)); Alternative - localStorage API in PebbleKit JS. But it’s not battery efficient And depends on connection between Watch and Phone
41. Wakeups Schedule app wakeups
42. Communication
43. PebbleKit JS • Access to extended storage with localStorage. • Internet access using XMLHttpRequest. • Location data using geolocation. • The ability to show a configuration page to allow users to customize how the app behaves.
44. AppMessage API Bi-directional communication between phone apps and Pebble watchapps. ACKnowledged or "NACK'ed," app_message_open() APP_MESSAGE_INBOX_SIZE_MINIMUM and APP_MESSAGE_OUTBOX_SIZE_MINIMUM app_message_inbox_size_maximum() and app_message_outbox_size_maximum()
45. Companion Apps
46. PebbleKit Android dependencies { compile 'com.getpebble:pebblekit:3.0.0' } PebbleDictionary dict = new PebbleDictionary(); dict.addString(AppKeyContactName, contactName); final UUID appUuid = UUID.fromString("EC7EE5C6-8DDF-4089-AA84-C3396A11CC95"); // Send the dictionary PebbleKit.sendDataToPebble(getApplicationContext(), appUuid, dict);
47. PebbleKit Android Messages will be received on Pebble Watch in: AppMessageInboxReceived PebbleKit.registerReceivedDataHandler(getApplicationContext(), dataReceiver);
48. PebbleKit Android // Create a new receiver to get AppMessages from the C app PebbleDataReceiver dataReceiver = new PebbleDataReceiver(appUuid) { @Override public void receiveData(Context context, int transaction_id, PebbleDictionary dict) { // A new AppMessage was received, tell Pebble PebbleKit.sendAckToPebble(context, transaction_id); } };
49. PebbleKit Android @Override public void receiveData(Context context, int transaction_id, PebbleDictionary dict) { final int AppKeyAge = 1; // If the tuple is present... Long ageValue = dict.getInteger(AppKeyAge); if(ageValue != null) { // Read the integer value
50. PebbleKit Android startAppOnPebble() closeAppOnPebble() registerPebbleConnectedReceiver() registerPebbleDisconnectedReceiver()
51. PebbleKit iOS NSUUID *myAppUUID = [[NSUUID alloc] initWithUUIDString:@"226834ae-786e-4302-a52f-6e7efc9f990b"]; [PBPebbleCentral defaultCentral].appUUID = myAppUUID;
52. PebbleKit iOS @interface ViewController () <PBPebbleCentralDelegate> central = [PBPebbleCentral defaultCentral]; central.appUUID = myAppUUID; [central run];
53. PebbleKit iOS [PBPebbleCentral defaultCentral].delegate = self; - (void)pebbleCentral:(PBPebbleCentral*)central watchDidConnect:(PBWatch*)watch isNew:(BOOL)isNew { NSLog(@"Pebble connected: %@", [watch name]); // Keep a reference to this watch self.connectedWatch = watch; }
54. PebbleKit iOS [[PBPebbleCentral defaultCentral] run];
55. PebbleKit iOS [self.connectedWatch appMessagesPushUpdate:update onSent:^(PBWatch *watch, NSDictionary *update, NSError *error) { if (!error) { NSLog(@"Successfully sent message."); } else { NSLog(@"Error sending message: %@", error); } }];
56. PebbleKit iOS [self.connectedWatch appMessagesAddReceiveUpdateHandler:^BOOL(PBWatch *watch, NSDictionary *update) { NSLog(@"Received message: %@", update); // Send Ack to Pebble return YES; }];
57. Publishing App
58. Pebble Marketplace
59. Immediate, easy, no validation
60. Only .PBW and icon - and you are in the market
