The Cupertino company again advises Apple Watch application developers that its software development kit, the SDK, will stop accepting updates for watchOS 1 apps, starting April 1 of next year. This is not a first warning to developers since last June they already received a first notice to start adapting their applications to watchOS 4 and the new Apple Watch Series 3.
This improves the performance of all applications that will take advantage of improvements in the latest versions of the Apple Watch such as Bluetooth conductivity, GPS navigation, audio and all the new features implemented.
In June 2016, developers began to be forced to use the watchOS 2 SDK and now it is announced for changes in older applications. In any case, all those applications that are not retouched from now until April 1, 2018 with the new SDK, they can no longer be updated.
Undoubtedly, this is a common maneuver in the software of any company and that developers must adapt as soon as possible, in this case since the second version of the Apple Watch operating system, watchOS 2, it already implemented a series of important improvements in performance and especially in speed. Little by little these applications are improving and adapting to the hardware innovations that Apple implements in its wearables and that is there is no color between the use of the first generation Apple Watch and the more current Series 3.
