No symbols for paired Apple Watch

I've created a new project with Xcode 7.0 which includes a Watch Kit app. I've updated my iPhone to iOS 9, and my watch to watchOS 2.0. I'm able to install version of my app by running the main app's Scheme and debugging on the device.

However, if I want to debug on the watch I need to run the [App Name] WatchKit scheme. I'm unable to select my phone+watch though because they are listed under Inelegible Devices with the parenthetical explanation: (No symbols for paired Apple Watch)

Anyone know how to get Xcode to download these symbols?

Xcode failed to download the symbol files from http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/watchOS_13S5255d/Watch1_1_13S5255d.dmg.

I was successful to launch my watchOS app by following steps.

1. Download the symbol file installer for 13S5255c from http://adcdownload.apple.com/Developer_Tools/watchOS_13S5255c/Watch1_1_13S5255c.dmg.

2. Create directory "~/Library/Developer/Xcode/watchOS DeviceSupport/2.0 (13S5255d)/Symbols"

3. Mount the DMG and open Watch1,1.pkg.

4. Change the destination directory to above directory. (DO NOT install to default location! OS X will be destroyed!)

5. Install symbol files.

6. Open project on Xcode 7 beta.

7. Disconnect and connect iPhone.

The symbol files may not match with the actual system. But I'm not interested in system symbols.

Looks like I've solved this simply by disconnecting and reconnecting the phone.

EDIT for Beta 2: I'm seeing the same issue as everybody else respodning after 6/24. My phone+watch target is listed as ineleigible for the reason: "(no symbols for paired Apple Watch)". Unmarking this answer as correct.

I have the same issue with the same beta versions, and cannot resolve the issue as well. Xcode seems to start installing the symbols, but then suddenly stops the installation in a few seconds.

On other occasions my xcode will instead say the explanation Ineligible Device: "myiPhone + (null)(paired device OS version)", and under devices nothing other than the Identifier will show up under Paired Watch Information. Nothing I do will resolve either error.

Yup. Same here for beta 2. Xcode tries to install symbols but then stops.

Same problem here. for watchOS 2 beta 2. I have tried re-pair. re-insall iOS, re-set watchOS. nothing works. This is really bad. that means developers have no way to develop watchOS with beta2.

I see the same results with an iPhone 5s and an iPhone6.

I can't develop on the watch at all.

Apple Watch just became a $400 paperweight for the next two weeks.
