WearOS devices do not work with MicroG
Describe the solution you'd like
MicroG framework needed to pair modern, current-gen WearOS devices and get basic functionality - echo phone notifications, provide media controls, run WearOS apps, etc.
Additional context
There has been an issue open for over ten years regarding MicroG support for WearOS. That issue and another more recent post have inspired some folks to post bounties for this feature, but it's buried so far down in the thread it's easy to miss.
I personally am posting a $200 bounty for the MicroG framework needed to pair modern, current-gen WearOS devices and get basic functionality - echo phone notifications, provide media controls, run WearOS apps, etc.
Here are the folks who've posted bounties in those threads. I'll invite them to post again here confirming that their offers still stand, but all told, this adds up to over $500 already.
@HyperCriSiS - $100
@realPrix - $100
@NullCode1337 - $50
@TobiPeterG - $100
@doctorgaul - $200
*Edit - Amounts now being tracked on the BountyHub page.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked ten-year-old WearOS issue (#4) and the more recent discussion in issue #2444 to understand prior work and constraints. Define the supported WearOS pairing and basic functionality scope, including phone notifications, media controls, and WearOS apps; done means modern current-generation devices work with MicroG for the agreed functionality.
