A new hack for Apple Watch proves to us that the new Apple smart watch can be modified to run native applications, in this case a clone of Flappy Bird and another game for iOS being visible in the video clip below.
Support for native applications dedicated to Apple Watch exists in Watch 2.0, and the developers exploit the software of the Apple company to show us what kind of titles can be installed in the smart watch, they will be available to a certain extent from the fall for the product from Cupertino.
The interesting part of this hack is that it allows the use of the digital crown to control the character in the game, something that few thought was possible before the announcement of watchOS 2.0, but it seems that we will get much more use from this component in the future.
Separated from the digital crown, the games accept control including from the screen and the Force Touch system, and the best part is that the native applications seem to work without performance problems, as happens in the case of those run through the iPhone.
Basically, Apple is trying to offer application developers the opportunity to develop apps that work as well as possible on the Apple Watch without requiring prior compilation on iPhone terminals, but it remains to be seen what they will manage to do considering the multiple limitations of Apple.
