Can't find documentation for onTap() in the API docs

Rich.T over 4 years ago

I can't seem to find where in the API docs I can find information regarding onTap().

Can it be used in a watch face?

Many thanks.

(I realize that link doesn't have the information you're looking for tho.)

Nope. It's only available for device apps, widgets, and Edge data fields. (The dev docs say onTap() is supported for "devices with touch support", but in reality, touch-enabled watches can't use onTap in a data field.)

(In general, CIQ watch faces can't accept any kind of user input, except for on-device settings.)
