I'm trying to use a custom SVG as a SF Symbol for a .accessoryInline complication on Apple Watch but it only appear on WatchOS 11.

I even tried a fresh project and exported one of the symbols from SF Symbols app to eliminate error with custom symbol creation. On WatchOS 11 it shows correctly and colored, on WatchOS 10.5, no symbol at all.

Am I missing some setting or something? Tried different Render As options for the symbol with no luck. For corner complication, it shows it fine (Series 10 is WatchOS 11 here)

What is more weird in kinda shows that it's loading in comlication preview:

Overall can't use any image for inline complication unless I do it like this:

Image(uiImage: UIImage(named: "ImageName") ?? UIImage())
                    .resizable()

Which can't be colored also

Given that the same thing works on watchOS 11 but not on watchOS 10.5, I’d suggest that you file a feedback report with your testing project to see what the watchOS complication folks have to say – If you do so, please share your report ID here.

I understand that you are using SVG, but am wondering if the issue is related to the image size, considering that Apple Watch SE (simulator) has a smaller screen, and that the preview seems to show a part of the image (meaning the image is too large). Did you try with a smaller size image?

Best,
