This is a Sina Microblog App for Apple Watch and is motivated by CoderMJLee's OAuth introduction.
Demo presentation: YouTube(Chinese).
Sina Microblog is one of the most popular social network in China. However, there is still no user-friendly app available for App Watch. Thus, I design and implement the first App for Apple Watch which has the following new features:
- It's an app designed for Apple Watch that allows users to access Sina microblog via Apple Watch;
- It's the FIRST Apple Watch app that can refresh and load more blogs;
- It's the FIRST Apple Watch app that can display shared blogs;
- It allows users to read more detailed information about a blog;
- It allows users to 'like' or 'share' blogs.
This app is developed based on network interface provided by Sina. Since there's no keyboard in Apple Watch, users can just log in by their iPhone. Then, connection is built between iPhone and Apple Watch by WatchConnectivity and data can be transferred between the two devices.
There are still many places can be improved. For example, log out function can be added. Also, sometimes app may crash because of the usage of multi-thread technique in downloading pictures(since there's no library for Apple Watch to download pictures Asynchronously). Therefore, I welcome every reader to fork this project and help me to make this project be a great product!
