A hack that forwards every notifications from your iOS device to the Pebble watch.
The hack is split into two parts: PebbleNotifierListener and the main PebbleNotifier.
PebbleNotifierListener hooks on Springboard and forward all notifications through CPDistributedMessagingCenter to PebbleApp.
PebbleNotifier hooks on PebbleApp. It will listen on those messages from PebbleNotifierListener, then it use PebbleApp's nicely organized internal classes to deliver the notification to your watch. PebbleNotifier also disabled the kill suspend task function of iOS in the context of PebbleApp. This makes background tasks in PebbleApp can run indefinitely. (Actually, I'm not sure. I still do get constant syslog messages saying that it's killing PebbleApp due to policy violation. Maybe it does relaunch the PebbleApp again, at least my hacked PebbleApp do sends out notifications without any interruptions.)
Build those two packages and install it on your phone in the order of:
- PebbleNotifierListener
- PebbleNotifier
You will also need to patch the PebbleApp's Info.plist. Add gps, voip, audio
to UIBackgroundModes. This allows PebbleApp to run continuously in the
background (with my hack).
Please fork it, mess with it and send me a pull request. There are a few things that I need help listed in the TODO file. It's a good place to start. :)
