Hello, is there a way to set a custom or programmable button by the user?
What i mean is i want to have tap on action but when i tap it on my watch i want to set the program to open and not to be preset by the watch designer.
I found the custom app by id but i want to be able to set the app from my watch.
You need to use Double Tap. and for the action select Open App then select App Switgher.
The user then double taps and selects the app for the button. Then in subsequent uses if he taps the app the user selected is opened.

The feature app switcher shows among selectable apps only if interaction double tap is selected.
Then it can be found on the end of the list.
Nice thank you, was also looking for this. Got it working, much appreciated.
What is the version of this GWS?
It is not available in my program
you have to select double tapā¦

Hi @r.liechty_SDR I am using version 1.2.7. In this version not found DOUBLE TAP features. Also note, while i am using single TAP under ACTION, It opens WARNING message windows āCertain devices may not support āopen appsā action. Please make sure to test the feature on an actual device.ā
I think Galaxy watch 4 will support this single tap feature. But i want to publish watch face, how can i sure it will work for all devices? Can you please advise. Thanks.
Donāt confuse Galaxy Watch Studio for Tizen with Watch Face Studio for Wear OS 
I am using version 1.2.7. In this version not found DOUBLE TAP features.
Double Tap is for the Tizen OS watches (Galaxy Watch 3 and older) Wear OS based watches reserve double tap for system use (on some watches it is how you enter sleep mode, or it may be used to activate NFC).
Also note, while i am using single TAP under ACTION, It opens WARNING message windows āCertain devices may not support āopen appsā action. Please make sure to test the feature on an actual device.ā

Short answerā¦
The Long Text complication has App Shortcut as a default provider use that instead it will only open apps that are on the device. It is better to use that than a custom App ID.
Having said that the wear Wear OS works is if someone tries to open an App that is in the store but is not installed (for example the user uninstalled it) it will ask the user if they want to install it. I donāt know if it actually does or not; maybe one of the App developers will know.
