We all know, as developers, the pain of finding that an idea that we had thought simple and quick to implement turns out to be much harder than we had imagined. But when programming with WatchKit, you will often find that some quite advanced-sounding technologies are, in fact, extremely easy to use.
WKInterfaceController animation methods are just that, and so we can add some flair to our app by changing the color of the button border – which is to say, the BorderGroup background color - using a call to animateWithDuration.

Xcode creates a new
IBOutlet(connection) between the interface and the source code:@IBOutlet var borderGroup: WKInterfaceGroup!
