In order to protect the iPhone ecology, Apple canceled the Android compatibility program for Apple Watch and Health applications.

CTOnews.com, Nov. 2 (Xinhua)-- according to Bloomberg, the Apple Health team has developed code to make Apple Watch and Health apps compatible with billions of Android devices and believes that sales of related products such as Apple watches can be boosted in a market where iPhone market share is low.

Bloomberg reported that Apple internally calls it Project Fennel, but it is not clear when the project will be launched or stopped, just to confirm that the development progress is nearing completion.

Apple finally halted the project because of "business concerns". "if you let go of Apple Watch compatibility for Android devices, then the value of the Apple Watch to the iPhone will be diluted," said a person familiar with the matter.

CTOnews.com quoted foreign technology media 9to5Mac as follows: through incentives such as iMessage, Apple's goal is still to get Android phone users to switch to iPhone.
