I have been working with Apple Watch OS 2 for a while, but have not succeeded in triggering vibration on Apple Watch standalone app in Swift, using Xcode Version 7.0 beta 6 (7A192o).

All tutorials using vibration on iPhone in Swift look like:

 import AudioToolbox
 ...
 AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(SystemSoundID(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate))

But I cannot import the AudioToolbox library.

I get the error:

Could not build Objective-C module "AudioToolbox"

Has anyone already found the way to do it?

Answer

You can generate haptic & auditory feedback, using:

WKInterfaceDevice.currentDevice().playHaptic(.Click)

'Click' is one of the 'cases' (types of vibration/beeps) that you can choose, cfr:

enum WKHapticType : Int {  

case Notification  
case DirectionUp 
case DirectionDown  
case Success 
case Failure  
case Retry  
case Start  
case Stop  
case Click 
}

This only works on the device, not in the simulator.
