Standalone WatchOS App to TestFlight impossible

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.
