I can't seem to upload my standalone watchOS app to TestFlight. Xcode never offers me the proper distribution scheme. I only get file-based distribution mechanisms.
The metadata in AppStoreConnect are present, the bundle ids are correct, this is a freshly new created project without any custom content.
How is this supposed to work?
The problem was a corrupted empty project created by Xcode. It did NOT include the necessary iOS stub target (which seems to be important for deployment, even for a watch-only watchOS app).
With another Xcode version this worked.
Hi Dr.
I am running into exactly the same problem and my exhaustive search lead me to you. only "skip install: no" in build setting will bring up any method of distribute at all. And I tried both having automatically managed signing and generate my own profile from developer's account. but nothing seems to work. I am on Xcode 16.1.
what was your experience, was rebuilding the project the only way?
thank you so much !
