Installing apps on Wear OS watch - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Newbie question: The apps from Google Play store, do they work on both Android phone and Wear OS watch? Or are there two versions of the same app: one for Android and one for Wear OS? So if the app does not show up on Wear OS, it means that app does not have a Wear OS version?

I am newbie like you
I think often there are two versions for the watch and the phone

[Q] Android wear kernel for new smartwatch

I am working on a e-ink smartwatch design, but had no luck in finding whether Android Wear can be used as Operating System for this.
Google only released an APK, where do I get started to port android wear for a new hardware like this e-ink smartwatch.
I am not a developer so having trouble in understanding what is open to use and whats not.
Does this help build an OS?

[Q] Running android apps on android wear or a way of doing drag?

I want to develop an android wear app which shows dragging of objects. I'm new to this and I'm not sure if I can simply run an android app on the android wear or I would need to do something different for the watch?

[Q] Alternative to Android Wear, using a wear device without Play Services

Hi, I recently got a Moto 360 as a present. But sadly, I soon came to the realization that you can't run Android Wear without GAPPS installed (I'm running CM10.2). I'm not going to install Google's spyware just so I can use a watch.
Are there other Apps that work with AndroIid Wear Devices? My smartphone does support Bluethooth 4 and BLE. A little bit digging showed me that some dedicated people got some functionality to work on their Iphone without Google Services. Alos when I install the Pebble App it recognzes my phone (but can not connect)
I really just want to get notifications to my watch, control music , set an alarm and maybe get my pulse data on my phone. Are there third party apps that can do that?
The person who ported the Android Wear functionality to Iphone has a Github repository of his Iphone app under shiitakeo/android_wear_for_ios . If there is no option I will have to write my own app and I'm going to orient myself on what he did there.
So you are looking for an app to connect your android phone to the iOS wear connect app on moto360? And not android wear app?
I'm looking for a third party android app that lets me connect my Moto 360 with my Phone aCyanogenmod 10.2 without gapps installed.
Without gapps I can't install the offical Android Wear app. Taking a peak in the IOS world shows me that it' s possible to do that with a device that supports Bluethooth 4.0 and BLE. The Pebbles app also recognizes my watch but does not let me connect it, this tells me that they must use a similiar protocol or maybe even the same. My question is, if someebody already did write such an App, that lets you connect your Android phone with your smart watch (without installing gapps!), or if I have to do this on my own. (I'm a software developer but never did anything with Bluethooth or much in Android.)
I'd also like to find a non-gapps solution for this. Have you found one?
Apple spies for Facebook. You'll sell your integrity no matter what.

Question about Android wear App

I am thinking about having a Block Modular smart watch. I already backed on Kickstarter. I have found that it is going to use the modified version of Android. So my question is will Android wear apps work on this Block modular smart watch?
It's going to be Android based, and importantly, it's not Android Wear. The reason for this is because Android Wear doesn't support the modular nature of Blocks. It's also the aim to have Android and iOS compatibility, so you'll be able to use this watch with your iPhone and we were also told that compatibility with Windows phone wasn't out of the question.

Android Wear ROM for MT 6580

Hi to all, I would like to try to install Android Wear ROM on my No.1D5+ Smartwatch. Or try to convince to act like watch, when connecting to phone android wear app.
I think it could being better user experience as Android wear is already optimized for circular display.
I have tried to install original Huawei Watch Android Wear ROM, but with no success. Also pairing with original ROM with android wear app didn't worked.
I don't have any experience with creating custom ROM, but i would like to try to modify some of circular android wear devices ROM.
Thank you very much for any hints, tips everything.
Need It too!
