Apple today update guidelines for developers Apple Watch adding interesting information. For example, we now know will be rejected all applications that are based on only tell the time. This is a move that many developers had warned when the company rejected their applications for the same reason, but it seems that now have to let him in writing so that there is no confusion.

Given that Apple still does not allow developers to create their own watchfaces to watch, many of them believed that creating an application that gave the time as a watchface if it were it would be the perfect solution. However, the company seems to still have the upper hand, at least for the moment, so we’ll have to settle for the official collection of designs available.
At this time we found 10 different watchfaces for Apple Watch and although most of them can be customized by adding different complications (widgets) or showing more or less information on the screen, the design is basically the one that defined Apple, and that does You can not be changed.
Indeed, on this Apple it has been pronounced in the user guide Watch, which includes a paragraph that reads as follows: “The Apple Watch incorporates different watchfaces, any ability to customize them to your liking. Frequent checks for updates of software; watchfaces collection that follow may vary to the ones you see in the Apple Watch. ”
Thus, the company seems almost confirm that watchfaces new designs will be incorporated in future software updates. Without going any further, when Apple Watch was launched in September last year, the company showed two Timelapse (watchfaces) Photo and strangely not been included in the final version, so they could come in future software updates.
The third watchfaces could come this fall with an SDK to create native applications
As the company announced, native applications Apple Watch reach the end of the year, allowing developers to break that forced dependence on the iPhone. As noted in 9to5Mac, it is probably there when we see the first watchfaces third, because in the end must be the user who choose which want to carry on his watch design. Do you seem sufficient the watchfaces included with the Apple Watch?
