Originator:sethfri
Number:rdar://21948288 Date Originated:07/22/2015
Status:Open Resolved:No
Product:watchOS SDK Product Version:watchOS 2 Beta 4
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
We have a watchOS 1 WatchKit Extension, and in it we call 
- presentTextInputControllerWithSuggestions:allowedInputMode:completion: with suggestions set to nil and allowedInputMode set to plain (to take the user straight into dictation). Without any changes, we try to run our watchOS 1 extension (live on the App Store) on watchOS 2 Beta 4, and it just shows a black screen with a Cancel button (screenshot attached).

Of note, Siri itself does work on the Watch. It just doesn't work in our app

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch watchOS 1 extension (live on App Store) on a watchOS 2 Beta 4 device
2. Try the functionality that calls presentTextInputControllerWithSuggestions:allowedInputMode:completion: with suggestions set to nil and allowedInputMode set to plain
3. You see a black screen with a Cancel button (screenshot attached)

Expected Results:
Siri dictation should be displayed

Actual Results:
We see a black screen with a Cancel button. No Siri dictation. Not only is the UI missing, but when you talk, nothing happens

Version:
watchOS 2 Beta 4

Notes:


Configuration:
Apple Watch Sport 42mm, on Wi-Fi
