ApplicationContext property always return an Empty dictionary

I'm trying to get the latest data from a WCSession and I can't understand why even if I've just received the didReceiveApplicationContext call. More details are available directly into the code: 

//Watch Code

override func awakeWithContext(context: AnyObject?) {
    super.awakeWithContext(context)
    if (WCSession.isSupported()) {
        session = WCSession.defaultSession()
        session?.delegate = self
        session?.activateSession()
        verifyUser()
    }
}

// 1. This function is called, with the applicationContext data 
func session(session: WCSession, didReceiveApplicationContext applicationContext: [String : AnyObject]) {
    print("CONTEXT \(applicationContext)")
}

// 2. I manually trigger this call from the watch with a button.
// even if I call this function after the previous function (1) it always print an Empty ([:]) applicationContext. 
@IBAction func printContext(){
    print(session?.applicationContext)
}

I expect the applicationContext property to be always updated with the latest information set using the updateApplicationContext since I always use the same WCSession obtained with WCSession.defaultSession for both the iOS and Watch app. Is there anything that I'm misinterpreting about connectivity?!

At least on WatchOS 6, receivedApplicationContext is empty until the session has been activated, which means if you are launch the app you'll need to wait until func session(_ session: WCSession, activationDidCompleteWith activationState: WCSessionActivationState, error: Error?) is called and then validate the state is active before you can get the latest context.

Hoping this helps someone who landed here and faced the same issue I did 😄

receivedApplicationContext is what you are looking for. applicationContext's contents is the stuff you've sent out, not received.
