+As of this moment you will have to develop your own Garmin watch app to send and receive messages, but here's a little start
+```cpp
+public function onMessageReceived(message) as Void {
+ if (message != null && message.isValid()) {
+ // this is a good message to use show this received data (the message is a map)
+ var messageFromPhone = message.content();
+ // and update our view for this message data
+ WatchUi.requestUpdate();
+ }
+}
+
+public function onTap(event as ClickEvent) as Void {
+ var listener = new $.CommListener();
+ var app = $.getApp();
+ Communications.transmit({
+ "clickX" => event.getCoordinates()[0],
+ "clickY" => event.getCoordinates()[1],
+ "content" => "Hello from the watch!",
+ }, null, listener);
+}
+```
+
+## Releasing (Android release build)
+The app communicates with the Garmin classes via its namespace. So when released these can be minified
+making them uncontactable. To prevent this from happening you will need to include the exclusions in your
+`proguard-rules.pro` file as in the example:
+```yaml
+-keep class com.garmin.** { *; }
+-keep class com.garmin.android.connectiq.** { *; }
+-keep class com.garmin.android.apps.connectmobile.** { *; }
+```
+
+OR in your `build.gradle` you can set
+```yaml
+shrinkResources false
+minifyEnabled false
+```
+* but this is not recommended as your code will be larger than it needs to be
+
## Unsupported Features
The following features are not supported by Garmin watches:
