#Hi everyone! Today I installed the iOS

Are your actions configured in the app or yaml?
Any difference between scenes and actions?

@valid sparrow Thanks for creating the thread. Wait a sec, I just created an issue describing just that 🙂
https://github.com/home-assistant/iOS/issues/2783
iOS device model, version and app version
Model Name: iPhone 13 Pro / Apple Watch Series 7 41mm
Software Version: iOS 17.5.1 / watchOS 10.5
App version: 2024.5
Home Assistant Core Version
2024.5.4
Describe the bug
No actions can be fired with the Watch App anymore, Watch App is showing a spinner and cancelling after half a minute or so showing a big X for a second. The iOS App debug log is not showing any action and HA is not receiving any events. Tried it with custom iOS actions and scenes. Both can be triggered via iOS, but not watchOS. No difference between server synced or manually added actions.
To Reproduce
Add some scenes as actions to the companion app and try to trigger them via the Watch App
Expected behavior
The actions are fired instantly and confirmed by vibrating the Watch to indicate success
valid sparrow
Oh, perfect

Tried it with custom iOS actions and scenes.
Last try would be reinstalling the iOS app completely... 😬
valid sparrow
Lets try first one possibly simple solution, reboot both devices, before opening the watch app open the phone app.
(All of this after rebooting)
obtuse anchor
Rebooting both devices done, no luck
valid sparrow
and you still see the list of actions, but they just dont execute and it shows the loading forever, right?
obtuse anchor
Correct
First one was added in companion app, second and third synced via server and fourth is a scene synced as well, all behave the same

I'll have a look on the code tomorrow to see if I can spot anything, for now if you really need it working ASAP, you can install testflight and use and older version of the app
obtuse anchor
Ah is that possible do downgrade via testflight? Awesome
I just tried to look in the macOS Console log to find something in the watch or iphone logs, different to filter...
valid sparrow
Ah is that possible do downgrade via testflight? Awesome
Yes, but use it just as a last resource because depending on the update this can cause problems
obtuse anchor
I will try to reinstall first, if it does not help I will try TestFlight for now. Thank you very much Bruno!

@valid sparrow Re-installing everything did not work 😦
Do I need an invitation code for TestFlight?
valid sparrow
obtuse anchor
Thank you! Can you tell me the last build with the old watch app? 2024.4.1 (2024.671) seems to behave the same as the current version.
valid sparrow
If can still do it, install 2024.4
obtuse anchor
Ok
Yes, it works again. I hope you can find the issue and release an official update as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance Bruno!
The old watch app is very fast and reacts very reliably to action triggers. The vibration to indicate success is also great. I hope the new Swift UI version will still be so fast 🙏😅
By the way, I am very happy to test new TestFlight builds if you want to try out a bugfix. Feel free to contact me at any time.
valid sparrow
Thanks I’ll surely notify you

Out of curiosity, do you have your watch connected to your wifi? (not just to the iPhone but really wifi)
valid sparrow
Fix on it's way:

Not really. Out of WiFi most of the time. I am using most actions while on the go without WiFi being connected via VPN to HA.

That could be the reason it always succeed for me. Good catch!

Have you been able to reproduce?
valid sparrow
Have you been able to reproduce?
Not really, but after looking at the old code the old logic made sense for your scenario
obtuse anchor
Is the vibration on success still present with the update?
valid sparrow
Yup
obtuse anchor
Awesome

@valid sparrow Thanks for your PR! I will test the new Watch App as soon as it's available in TestFlight and report back to you!
obtuse anchor
@valid sparrow Good news: as you already saw on GitHub, it seems to work fine for me now. 👌
valid sparrow
Nice! Thanks for the feedback
obtuse anchor
Hi @valid sparrow, can you tell me when the next official release will be published to the App Store? Thanks! 🙏
valid sparrow
Probably this week
valid sparrow
2024.5.1 is now on the App Store

Hi @valid sparrow! It‘s me again 😊 What the heck happened to the Watch action background colors? Is it just gone? I carefully styled my buttons to match the overall grayish look of the watch elements and now the buttons are shining in my face in full brightness with white color (hiding white icons btw.). Is there any chance of getting background colors back? Thank you so much!
obtuse anchor
Oh no! 😦
Why?? Is white the only option now? Not happy...
Is there any possibility to match the watchOS default colors and icon sizes? Like in settings? That would be awesome!

Widgets and watch were aligned to Lovelace tile card design, that’s why background color was deprecated. Please let’s close this thread since it’s unrelated and next time use the main channel to discuss.
We received more feedback about the background colors and I’ll bring the discussion to the design team to find a good solution for all.
