The API for the Apple Watch double tap gesture in watchOS 11 is the handGestureShortcut modifier. This modifier allows you to identify a button or toggle as the primary action in your app, widget, or live activity. When a user performs the double tap gesture, the system will automatically highlight the outline of the button or toggle to provide a visual indication that this is the action that will be invoked. You can also customize the shape of the highlight using the clipShape view modifier if needed.
