frostyrebus Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Running IOS 10.3.3 on iPhone 5C. Apple Watch 3 version 3..2.2 Bought cachly today. Clearly states that it has apple watch app. Does not appear on watch at all. Any suggestions. If it doesn't work will be getting a refund. App works fine on phone but then so does the normal geocaching app. I bought to use on Watch but doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostyrebus Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Sorry Watch is running 3.2.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team DEMP Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 When you launch the Watch app on your iPhone, what do you show for Cachly? Scroll down on The My Watch section until it lists Installed on Apple Watch and Available Apps. Where is Cachly listed? If it's listed under Available, try clicking Install.

rragan Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I too am running iOS 10 and don't see the Watch app. Cachly on the watch requires WatchOS 4 which can only be installed from iOS 11. Upgrading to iOS 11 will take care of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rragan Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 I just checked. iOS 11 is not supported on the 5c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostyrebus Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Thanks for comments. rragan you are correct that 5c does not go up to iOS 11 i'm at the highest version possible with 10.3.3. However on checking the Apple Store no where does it mention you have to have Apple Watch 4. If this is the case it is a straight mis-selling of the App as all it says is Apple Watch app available. Will be demanding a refund. Also cachly needs to update the requirements section to say Version 4 of the watch is required and that to use the Apple Watch iOS 11 is needed Oh and Reagan. The App does not show anywhere in the Apple Watch menu. Probably because not version 4. Well all this was a waste of time. Cachly being deleted and back to the geocaching, com app as without working on my watch it is pointless as the original app does the same.

rragan Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Sorry it didn't work out. To the best of my knowledge Apple does not provide a way in the App Store to call out the iOS level required to support the Watch App -- only the minimum level for the App. The Cachly wiki does call out WatchOS 4 required. It should further clarify that ios11 or greater is required to support the Watch as users do not generally know what level of WatchOS is supported by what iOS level http://www.cach.ly/help/index.php/Apple_Watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostyrebus Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Thanks again. Oh well, cachly being deleted no use to me. I'd rather have an holiday than pay for a new iPhone. Nevermind will get a refund once my invoice come through, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Hubbard Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Very sorry about this unexpected issue. Sadly we only now realized that the App Store does not warn users about this situation, so we will make sure to add this into our app description. Sorry about that!

frostyrebus Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 That' fine Have to say I'm really surprised that Apple Watch 3 wasn't included given Version 4 isn't even released in the UK yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The requirement is for watchOS 4 which requires iOS 11 on your iOS device to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostyrebus Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Oh now you are confusing me. Quite simply do I need ios11 on my iPhone for Cachly to work Watch 1,2,3 and 4 because it doesn't work on Watch 3 with 10.3.3 i.e. iOS 11 no matter what watch you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason this is a requirement that Apple has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
