I have an Xcode project that I use to generate multiple apps. In the past, I just updated the bundle identifier to create each app. Now I have added a WatchKit extension, and get this error:

WatchKit Extension doesn't contain any WatchKit apps whose bundle identifiers match "com.myco.oldid.watchkitapp". Verify that the value of WKAppBundleIdentifier in your WatchKit Extension's Info.plist matches the value of CFBundleIdentifier in your WatchKit App's Info.plist.

In the app's info.plist bundle identifier is com.myco.newid

In the WatchKit extension nfo.plist bundle identifier is com.myco.newid.watchkitextension

In the WatchKit app nfo.plist bundle identifier is com.myco.newid.watchkitapp and companion app bundle identifier is com.myco.newid

I see com.myco.oldid.watchkitapp nowhere. Where else does it need to be updated?

In the WatchKit Extension info.plist is an entry NSExtension. Exand it and you'll find a key WKAppBundleIdentifier which is a reference to the bundle identifier of the WatchApp
