import WatchKit
// Simple tap feedback
WKInterfaceDevice.current().play(.click)
// Outcome feedback
func completeTask() {
// ... perform action
WKInterfaceDevice.current().play(.success)
}
// Error feedback
func handleError() {
WKInterfaceDevice.current().play(.failure)
}
// Digital Crown value change
.digitalCrownRotation($value)
.onChange(of: value) {
WKInterfaceDevice.current().play(.click)
}
RULES:
- Always use the semantic preset that matches the interaction context
- Pair
.clickwith Digital Crown detents and button taps - Pair
.success/.failurewith operation outcomes - Pair
.start/.stopwith timer or workout transitions - Keep haptic calls lightweight — avoid calling on every frame during Crown rotation
