I have an iOS 9/watchOS 2 app approved for external TestFlight distribution. External beta testers are able to install and use the iPhone app fine, but cannot install the watch app. Within the TestFlight app, they toggle the "Install on Apple Watch" switch. After about a second, the switch toggles back to off and the watch app is not installed. I can reproduce this assing myself as a TestFlight external user, and do not see anything written to the iPhone or Apple Watch log in the Devices window in Xcode with the switch is toggled. The watch app runs fine when deployed to the phone via Xcode. Has anyone else seen a similar issue and/pr have a workaround? I thought perhaps it was related to this thread, but since a fix is now in place, I no longer think that's the case. FWIW, the same build of this app (Apple ID: 591671468) has been "In Review" since the 14th, while most of the other iOS 9 updates for apps on my phone have shipped. (radr://22750159)
watchOS 2 app not installing with TestFlight
I am also facing the same issue after archiving and Ad Hoc provisioning on my development device. The watch app runs fine when deployed to the iPhone via Xcode however due to some reason its not getting installed on Apple Watch.
Update: The issue was with the distribution provisioning profiles. I deleted all app related distribution provisioning profiles and recreated them. Ad Hoc provisioning now works.
I have the same problem. Even redid all my provisioning profiles. Nothing helped. Still can't install it from TestFlight, no error in the logs and all.
Also wrote about it on stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32581802/watchos-2-app-not-installable-via-testflight. No answer there either. I am at the end of my knowledge what could be wrong
My problem was solved with removing the watchOS 2 framework I added. Instead just adding all the sources to the extension and remove the framework. Then it was installable via testflight
FWIW: in my case, the App Store version of the app installed correctly with a watch framework, just not TestFlight. Hopefully it was a one-time bug. I have another verion in TestFlight review now
I've gone through three builds with no success yet, on 9.0 GM, 9.0.1, and 9.0.2. Same symptoms.
