Description

Having a characteristic that notifies and contains the currently open watchapp would make it easier for companion apps to not do unnecessary BT reads/writes, which would improve battery life. Plus allow triggers on watchapp launches (e.g. sync state, launch some needed screen etc. etc.).

Improving the app framework to contain an UUID per watchapp would be a nice solution.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the app framework and Bluetooth characteristic definitions, then determine how watchapp launches are represented. Done should be defined as a characteristic that reports the current watchapp, notifies changes, and supports a stable UUID per watchapp.
