OK, against my better judgement, I'll bite, this once.
Two things:
1 - Design? By developers? Then tell me, why would a developer want to control a notification so the user doesn't know it's there? Particularly since the user has full control of notifications via their iPhone settings already? Why would a developer want to override the users preference and silence their own messages to that very user?
2 - How would they do this given they don't (yet) have access to the watch APIs, nor an SDK and therefore can't control the watch other than via iPhone apps - the very iPhones which already have notification controls for each app in user-accessible settings?
I don't have any resistance to talking to developers about this, or any other issue. Or Apple come to that. But it is a very closed environment which Apple controls completely, and I find it hard to believe that Apple would approve an app which bypassed their iOS APIs - they aren't that liberal with their submission rules.
But hey, let's not let that get in the way of an opportunity to accuse others of unreasonable behaviour and attitudes, just because they don't agree with you.
Thanks for that.
