  • run on wear emulator
    determine if a screen is round or square
    easily set a wake lock (for Wear prototyping since timeout to ambient is aggressive at 6 seconds and we need more time)

Is there any reason that Flutter apps would not build for Wear? Seems they should since you can build for android. I'll give it a try soon (since I'm a UXE on the Wear team).

I am pretty sure @tonygentilcore ran flutter on a watch many moons ago. It's just not a workflow we've tried to support yet.

You can determine if the screen is round by the Android WindowInsets.isRound() method. It may make sense to expose that in either the flutter WindowPadding or Window class.

Yeah, we should add a shape property to Window that's something like BoxShape.

Android wear (and watch OS) would be awesome, but generally phone app and wear app are dialoging to exchange or stock data. How it will work if both phone and wear app are in flutter ? In native we use the Api to exchange data or messages but I'm curious how it will be handle by flutter as the phone app may not be launched when the wear app is asking for data
