Docs only. Moves wakelock_plus from "Feasible but not yet ported" to "Evaluated but not provided" in the root README, with the reason #10 was closed:

  • watchOS has no public API that keeps the display lit. UIApplication, and with it idleTimerDisabled, is unavailable on watchOS, and WKExtension.frontmostTimeoutExtended has not been supported since watchOS 7 (both checked in the watchOS 27.0 SDK headers).
  • WKExtendedRuntimeSession keeps the app running, not the screen, and needs a session type in WKBackgroundModes that matches the app's use. Giving every app one, as a wakelock package would have to, is an App Review risk under guideline 2.5.4.

The new row links #10.

Checked: tool/check_words.sh, check_readme_snippets and check_versions pass, and the tree is clean.

watchOS has no public API that keeps the display lit: UIApplication, and
with it idleTimerDisabled, is unavailable there, and frontmostTimeoutExtended
has not been supported since watchOS 7. WKExtendedRuntimeSession keeps the
app running, not the screen, and needs a session type that matches the
app's use, so giving every app one is an App Review risk (guideline 2.5.4).
#10 implemented the wakelock that way and was closed for these reasons.

The README moves wakelock_plus from "Feasible but not yet ported" to
"Evaluated but not provided", with that reason and a link to #10.
