I cannot get a simple independent Watch App to run on my Apple Watch.

I am running Watch OS6 Beta 4 on the watch, iOS13 Beta 4 on my iPhone, Catalina Beta 4 on my Mac, and Xcode 11 Beta 4.

I open Xcode and create a new independent Watch App using the template, I don't make any changes to the code. I can run this on the simulator and it displays "Hello" using SwiftUI, all good. I then change the target to the Apple Watch via My iPhone and attempt to run it. Xcode beach balls for about 10-15 seconds and then says "Running TestApp on paired Watch", however nothing ever appears on the Apple Watch. No icon is displayed on the Apps Screen. I am at a loss on what to do and any help would be appreciated in getting this resolved.

Due to the current networking issues on the Watch simulator I am completely blocked again.

I had the same problem.

In my case I tried using another usb port and another cable, what helped at the end was that I disabled connection via Network, so xcode is forced to use the usb cable to connect to the phone.

1. In xcode go to: Window-> Devices and Simulators

2. Select you iphone

3. uncheck: Connect via Network

This helped for me, maybe it helps you.

UPDATE: This solved it for me: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55213319/xcode-error-launching-watchkit-extension/61216907#61216907

I'm having a similar issue. XCode won't deploy a simple Hello World standalone WatchOS app to Apple Watch 2 paired with iPhone 7 Plus. When I do 'Product > Run' I get errors saying the device is not ready/paired and I should connect it again. I've connected it many times and it shows as paired perfecty in XCode. Sometimes the iPhone asks `trust this computer?`. I say yes and enter my passcode. The Apple Watch does not show the 'trust this computer?' dialogue. It seems that the Watch should be showing this dialogue according the the error message. Rebooting iPhone and Watch fixed this issue and I got asked to trust the computer on the iPhone and on the Apple Watch. Note you need to enter a passcode after the trust screen, which was quite slow to appear on the Watch. After doing all this and then 'Product > Run' again it seemed to get further with the deployment, but then stopped with a new error 'Device doesn’t support wireless sync'. Both error logs are shown below. I'm wondering if Apple Watch 2 is supported?
