He posted a video showing the arrival of notifications on the Android device screen Wear, shortly after their arrival in the iPhone. While he has not released the tools to try this at home, he said it requires only an APK that can be installed on the smartwatch. There is no need to need to jailbreak the iPhone or the rooter smartwatch.
