Support macOS

[advatar]

I have hacked CareKit so it works on macOS and now I would like to be able to sync with macOS as well. One obstacle is WatchConnectivity not being available. Ideas about how to replace this dependency?

ParseCareKit doesn't have WatchConnectivity as a dependency

Right, but the example does here https://github.com/netreconlab/CareKitSample-ParseCareKit/blob/main/OCKSample/AppDelegate.swift#L96

That's used in the sample app because watchOS doesn't have a sign-in screen, so iOS provides it's session token to watchOS for easy login. It's not needed for the iOS app to function, so if you have it working on another OS, it isn't needed.

ParseCareKit itself doesn’t need WatchConnectivity, nor is it a requirement for any app that depends on ParseCareKit. Also, the dependency of CareKit makes ParseCareKit not compatible with macOS. If you modified CareKit to work on macOS, it’s possible you can run into anomalies with ParseCareKit, some of which may not be fixed in this repo, since it’s purpose is to support what CareKit supports.

Closing as this has been answered.
