Image sequence of .gif playing on WatchSimulator but not on AppleWatch

Question

I am on watchOS2 b4.

I have a WKInterfaceImage named animatedImage which is connected properly and I am using

[self.animatedImage setImageNamed:@"image"];
[self.animatedImage startAnimatingWithImagesInRange:NSMakeRange(0, 65) duration:6.0 repeatCount:0];

to animate several images. This works on the simulator but the images are not shown on the AppleWatch.

I have added a folder inside of my Watch-target that contains all the images. They are all named image0.gif image1.gif and so on.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Answer 1

When I changed from .gif to .png it worked. I guess the simulator can handle .gif but the AppleWatch can´t.
