How to trigger vibration on Apple Watch OS 2?

Question

I have been working with Apple Watch OS 2 for a while, but have not succeeded in triggering vibration on Apple Watch standalone app in Swift, using Xcode Version 7.0 beta 6 (7A192o).

All tutorials using vibration on iPhone in Swift look like:

 import AudioToolbox
 ...
 AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(SystemSoundID(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate))

But I cannot import the AudioToolbox library.

I get the error:

Could not build Objective-C module "AudioToolbox"

Has anyone already found the way to do it?

What do you mean *"cannot import"*? Don't want to use (why not)? Get errors when you try (what errors)? — jonrsharpe, Sep 02 '15 at 20:42
That is probably useful information to include *in the question*. Have you researched the error message? — jonrsharpe, Sep 02 '15 at 20:45
and if i drag it into project it sais Could not build Objective/C module "AudioToolbox" — Jiri, Sep 02 '15 at 20:49

You can generate haptic & auditory feedback, using:

WKInterfaceDevice.currentDevice().playHaptic(.Click)

'Click' is one of the 'cases' (types of vibration/beeps) that you can choose, cfr:

enum WKHapticType : Int {  

case Notification  
case DirectionUp 
case DirectionDown  
case Success 
case Failure  
case Retry  
case Start  
case Stop  
case Click 
}

This only works on the device, not in the simulator.

In Swift 3:

WKInterfaceDevice.current().play(.success)

I'm not a expert in WatchKit but I know that with Watch OS 2 you can use:

WKInterfaceDevice().playHaptic(.Notification)

The function playHaptic called on a WKInterfaceDevice instance engage the haptic engine in Apple Watch.

See more in the Apple documentation.

The Correct format is

WKInterfaceDevice.currentDevice().playHaptic(.Notification)

You can easily play the notification sound on watch

As an inexperienced programmer myself I would much prefer an answer that gets straight to the point rather than a 500-word answer explaining functions and other stuff that the inexperienced programmer has no idea about. There this is my answer and is better than others because I get to the point. – Dylan Murphy Jun 22 '17 at 14:39
