My app is installed on my iPhone, but the Apple Watch app doesn't see it, so it cannot install the WatchKit App

I am developing my first Apple Watch app. I've got it to a pretty good state and have debugged it via simulator and on my physical watch. My next step is to actaully install on my Apple Watch so I can do lots of testing without being tethered to my computer.


I'm a bit of a newbie to iOS and WatckKit development, so please bear with me. I have been following the various online guides. I've done the following:

- Created my WatchKit-only app (the iOS portion does nothing)

- Created my Ad Hoc Provisioning Profile

- Archived my project in XCode

- Distributed my app as Ad Hoc (with manifest)

- Used the Devices and Simulators window in XCode to add the .ipa file to my iPhone


My app is installed on my iPhone, but the Apple Watch app doesn't see it, so it cannot install the WatchKit App (and WatchKit Extension) on my Apple Watch. I'm certain that I'm just missing some setting for the iOS app which indicates that it has WatchKit components, but cannot figure what. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

Nevermind, folks. Apparently, I didn't miss anything. I just had to reboot my iPhone (something not in the instructions). Life is good.
