Pebble Smart Watch Update With Support for iOS 7 Notifications Now Live

Following last week’s announcement of a significant update that would bring iOS 7’s Notification Center alerts to the Pebble Smart Watch, Apple has approved Pebble’s app update, enabling the new functionality for Pebble owners.

iOS 7

Version 1.3.0 of the Pebble Smartwatch app supports Apple’s iOS 7 notification system for the iPhone 4s and higher, allowing all Notification Center alerts to be displayed on the watch face. Previously, notification alerts were limited to calls and text messages, but now the Pebble Smart Watch is able to display notifications from apps like Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Calendar, Instagram, and more.

Along with the new notification functionality, Pebble has also launched its 2.0 SDK, adding APIs for Javascript, Accelerometer, Data Logging, and Persistent Storage to allow developers to create apps that interface directly with the web.
