I've simply been following the documentation found here: Creating a Widget Extension. However, for some reason when I try to launch the extension I'm faced with the error:

WatchWidget does not define either an NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass key with a string value in the NSExtension dictionary in its Info.plist

Which is indeed correct, however I'm uncertain what it's supposed to point to?

I currently just have the WidgetFile, assets and the info.plist :)

Exactly the same problem for me too - I started from an existing widget project and cloned if for a watch widget project. The existing project didn't have either of these defined, nor does a new project created in Xcode 14. Seems like it might be an Xcode 14 bug.

Adding entry NSExtensionMainStoryboard to the info.plist of the extension fixed this issue for me:
