I have an iPhone/iPad application for which there is no watchOS target and as such no separate Watch app. I do not have separate watchOS app icons included as well in Assets. However, an Apple Watch is supposed to receive push notifications for the application.

Do we as app developers need to provide watchOS app icons, with different resolutions as suggested by Apple in HIG, in app's Assets for the app logo to appear properly in the notification coming in watch, for both short look and long look? As of now, my app's icon appear pixelated in short look and I am not sure whether it is an app icon issue or because I did not include watchOS app icons in Assets.

there is no watchOS target

I did not include watchOS app icons in Assets

I do not see it in Assets>AppIcon. I only see it when there is a WatchOS companion app, in the watch Assets.

Where do you see it to be provided ?

In an app with similar situation, I provided all sizes of icons and did not notice issue.

What app icons have you provided in Assets ?

May be you could try with a unique 1024*1024 ?

You can see it in the Attributes Inspector after selecting AppIcon asset.

I have already tried with a 1024*1024 asset and issue still seems to be there.
