@Iconfactory action button for the win?

@dominoslater What are you wanting to do exactly? Can you elaborate?

@Iconfactory first of all: I’m a huge fan. Means a great deal to even banter with you guys!

This is what I meant: would be awesome if there is a way you guys could get the Action Button on the Ultra to behave as the clicker.

@dominoslater Ah! Now we see. That’s totally a question for @chockenberry Bonus: He has an Ultra so your request may fall on more favorable ears :-)

@Iconfactory @dominoslater The problem is that apps can't do anything directly with the Action Button. It is only hooked up to Apple apps - we'd have to do it via Shortcuts with a shortcut you'd have to install. And that wouldn't be a very smooth experience (lots of intermediate steps).

You can always fudge the app and make it report as a workout app, since the AWU lets you choose the app and action performed by the button there.

@retnuh730 @chockenberry @Iconfactory so third party workout apps get to use the API? SMH Apple.

(But other third party apps don’t).
Show threadDomFeb 1, 2023
@chockenberry @Iconfactory yeah I figured they would have kept that API to themselves. No rush — it’ll open up at some point, surely? Shortcuts will do for now. Looking forward to 1.0!

@chockenberry @Iconfactory sorry was half asleep. Meant 2.0.

@chockenberry @Iconfactory @dominoslater wat. That has to be a short term limitation >_< Wait, didn’t the diving computer app use it, I thought? Have to find the keynote demo for it again. Would be dumb to make it exclusive to select and first party software only though ):

@shadowbottle @chockenberry @Iconfactory classic Apple. Had my hopes up, too.

🤯

I thought the *whole point* of the action button was so apps could have a physical button/interface….

@chockenberry @Iconfactory @dominoslater please add a tiny bit of shortcut support for the app! That would be super useful

@notnotjake @chockenberry @Iconfactory I don’t think we even have to ask. These guys have good taste.

@Iconfactory @chockenberry awesome! Will keep an eye out for Graig’s updates. ✌🏼
