Close/Deactivate WCSession

I am developing an iPhone app (iOS 9 beta) with watch extension (watchOS 2), and to pass the data from watch to phone I am using WCSession.

I have 2 different view controllers using WCSessions, so for each of the controller I am instantiating new WCSession object. For the first view controller it works fine, but when I want to receive messages in second view controller, few initial messages are still being sent to first controller.

Is there any way I can deactivate / disable session of first view controller before going to second controller? Or are there any other options I should look into?

Thanks!

When you are passing data back and forth you are sending Dictionaries. If you specify good keys you could get the appropriate data for each ViewController.

Example:

ViewController1:

[session updateApplicationContext:@{@"viewController1": @"item1"} error:&error];

ViewController2:

[session updateApplicationContext:@{@"viewController2": @"item2"} error:&error];

When you are receiving data:

- (void) session:(nonnull WCSession *)session didReceiveApplicationContext:(nonnull NSDictionary<NSString *,id> *)applicationContext {

    if ([applicationContext objectForKey:@"viewController1"]) {
        //ViewController1 data
    } else if ([applicationContext objectForKey:@"viewController2"]) {
        //ViewController2 data
    }
}
