I want to distribute a demo app via Testflight / AdHoc to so users can view complications and notifications on the watch.
There won't be a watch 'app' only complications and notifications.
Notifications don't have to be real. They can be statically programmed just for the demo.
Problem is how would you do this without Firebase / Node server etc? I was thinking I could fire notifications via NSTimer every 10 seconds.
If not possible what would be the easiest method via Firebase?
Complications don't need a timer as they are just info on watch face.
Notifications need permission so you program authorization as normal but the notification is not coming from a server it's coming from NSTimer so I'm not sure if this can be done.
[doublepost=1458327624][/doublepost]I found this. Seems interesting. Have you used it? It uses a OSX app to send the notifications. Problem is I'm in a different time zone and would like the notifications just to fire off by themselves via NSTimer every 30 seconds or so.

Other problem is my testing isn't for local notifications meaning on my machine. I need random notifications sent to the testers' devices.
