PWA and SPA support in Apple Watch

I was wondering if there is a complete documentation for creating PWA and SPA Web Applications which could be added/installed to Apple Watch
I mean a web application which has manifest(name, icon, etc) and can be added to Apple Watch menu
As of WatchOS 5, Apple have added webkit support to WatchOS and i guess it’s not a deal to render web pages because there are several web browsers for Apple Watch like parity and etc
I would be happy to hear your answers
One way to make a PWA or SPA as an app on mobile platform is to use a framework that uses the webview component of the platform to show the content as it was a native app.
Unfortunately [1] my source about a cordova apple watch plugin says, that
It is not possible to run a Cordova app directly on the Watch, as there is no support for a WebView [..]
Though, the source [1] is a project that gives some help on communicating between iPhone app and the Watch, but as the solution here is to write the showing of the data on native language anyways, I would probably more likely give a try for Xamarin [2] or any other native code generating framework, which DOES support Watch OS. I think your final goal anyways is to write an app for Watch, so that is the way to do so.

Custom Wake Word with Speech SDK

I'm looking for a way to have an application just process voice commands every time I say a specific phrase. The behavior should be similar to Cortana, Alexa or others. The application will be deployed on a hands-free device, but the Speech device SDK cannot be used, because it runs solely on a PC.
Is there an addition to the Speech SDK with a custom wake word yet?
MS speech recognition uses RESTful APIs to cloud services. You can use them from any device.
You can use speech-to-text and voice command services on Android or iOS. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/speech/?v=18.05: Examples exist for both Java and Objective-C.
I think you also want to check out the preview of speaker recognition.

Does this help?
Looks like you would need to go to a specific site to set a wake work as it's still in preview mode. That will generate some files that you'd download for the SDK.
There's more in this documentation page.

What protocol or api does the android tv remote control app use?

google tv used anymote protocol for remote control but the case with android tv does not looks the same. No official docs clearify if they still use the same.
I want to develop an app just like the app by google but with some changes and additions mostly on gamepad part. Additionally if anyone knew how apps like cetus play and droid mote for android tv work?
almost similar questions have been asked before as well but never properly answered. Any information and suggestions will be helpul

What do I need to install to Xcode to develop Apple Tv apps?

I'm currently searching for a plugin that installs the required frameworks to program apps for a jailbroken Apple Tv but I can't find it. If anyone knows of anything please tell me.
Go here http://www.iosopendev.com
It installs stuff to Xcode making it easier to develop for jailbroken devices. You can start there for the Apple TV

Capturing System-level Keystrokes with Adobe AIR

As the title suggests, is it possible to capture system-level keystrokes?
Any help or pointers will be appreciated!!
You can do this in Flex using NativeProcess once it's added. Check out AIR 2.0 Native Process on gotoandlearn.
You mean while the app doesn't have focus?
This isn't implemented in AIR currently, but is in the wishlist.
Danny and myself are working on this project together.
Would it be posssible to use another cross platorm app that can run on Windows, OSX and Linux which can capture keystroke events in while runnning in the background and then tell AIR that a key has been pressed?
