How to find out which devices support the 'Communications' permission?

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi,

my watch app requires the Communications permission because it's using the registerForPhoneAppMessages and setMailboxListener functionality.

I want to make sure that the App won't be shown to users on the App store that do not have a compatible device.

Do I have to manually go through the manifest.xml file and make sure only devices that have Communications support are included as build targets? If yes, how can I get a list of all devices that support the Communications permission?

My goal is to build my App only for devices that support this permission.

Communications is supported on all devices. How it can be used varies by app type - watch faces and DF's, it's only in a background process.

Seems registerForPhoneAppMessages is "since 1.4.0" so it's not available on the EPIX. You can find that in the API Doc.
