Unable to install test app on Apple Watch

Hi,

I am trying to install my first Apple Watch app on a test device.


Although it was a long time ago, I did add the watch to the developer's portal. I also know that I have to add the device to my Provising Profile and redownload and installed it in Xcode for watch development on a device.


Two things have happened:


1. In the DEVICES > APPLE WATCH area, the watch and the identfiier ARE there, but it is grayed out.


2. When I go to PROVISING PROFILES > DEVELOPMENT > [DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATE] > DEVICES, the watch is NOT listed to be included in the profile.


I tried to auto fix the problem in Xcode, without success.


Any ideas?
Thanks,

Dan

Did you:


- Restart Xcode post profile juggling?

- Remove the watch for dev in Xcode, then re-permission?


Can you build an Xcode new project watch app to either the sim or that device? Or is that what you meant by 'test app'...


Assumes Xcode 9.2...

Try to activate hotspot on the iPhone. It helped me.

Best solution yet. thank you.
