Google confirms the Wear OS 8 status bar and shows its icons

Google has now confirmed Wear OS 8 as the launch version for the in-app status bar, rather than leaving it as a feature planned for a future release. The bar will show the time and system icons at the top of smartwatch apps, and Google has shown the icons for the first time. Developers can try it in the Wear OS 7.1 emulator, but it won't reach devices with 7.1. On watches, the feature is still ahead.
