Fitbit smartwatch to run its own app platform at launch
It appears that Fitbit chief executive officer James Park told The Verge that his company's smartwatch would run its own app platform, which is based on the software Fitbit obtained after acquiring Pebble last year.
Park also said that soon after the smartwatch's launch, Fitbit would release an SDK (software development kit) with a select number of apps from particular unnamed partners, which will allow developers to optimize their apps for the smartwatch.
With the help of the said SDK, devs will be able to create apps much easier, which will be compatible with both Android and iOS platforms.
Finally, Fitbit's official cleared up some information coming from previous reports claiming the smartwatch will feature its own “app store” by saying that third-party wearable apps will actually be available via an “app gallery.”
