Requirements for the screenshots for Apple Watch troubled application developers. Some have even decided to postpone the creation of their programs for smart watches companies. And the thing is a little postscript that found in the manual to create software for Apple Watch.
According to the requirements of the screenshots that accompany applications for wearable computer in the online store, the image must be created on the Apple Watch. Not in iOS Simulator on a Mac, but directly to the "smart" watches. This condition has raised questions among developers. Where programmers get worn a watch that will be on sale until April 24? At the moment, Apple issued a device only a few developers who attend courses in Cupertino to create software using a set WatchKit.
But at Apple, seems to have realized that a mistake and quickly corrected. Now the rules are no such restrictions - you can create screenshots including hardware emulators. Image Requirements include the following parameters: resolution of 312 x 390 pixels, 72 dpi, JPG or PNG.
It is interesting that already at the start for Apple Watch a lot of third-party applications.Already have a program from the list of the most popular, including Uber, Shazam, Instagram and many other useful things. This "apple" Watch favorably with those of competitors.
"Apple uses one of its most powerful asset - the developer community. If you look at a set of devices, which is represented on the market now - Pebble, Android Wear and others - they have a very limited set of applications. There's almost nothing except notifications receiving calls, some basic applications and programs for fitness. Apple unveiled its product six months ago - since then all the best developers threw their best people on the production of programs for these hours. And it is - just the beginning" - said the head of Apple.
