LuaWatchKitFirstApp is a very simple Watch app, using WatchKit and live-coded in Lua with CodeFlow. It presents a gallery of characters in which you can navigate with two buttons, Next and Previous. Tapping on the character's picture navigates to a detail screen, and a contextual menu on the main screen gives access to page-navigation-organized modal controllers that illustrate the use of maps and image animation.
LuaWatchKitFirstApp shows, on the Objective-C side, how to use a Lua Context for live-coding an iOS or OS X app extension. On the Lua side, all code and image resources can be dynamically changed and the changes are immediately visible on the Watch screen.
A Mac with Celedev CodeFlow version 0.9.18 or later.
