Xcode 8, unable to pair watch simulator

I'm running Xcode 8 beta 4 (and now, beta 5). My app has a watch extension. I cannot pair the iPhone simulator with the watch simulator. I've followed the instructions for pairing (Xcode, Window, Devices) but there are no watch simulators listed there, nor are any listed when I select any of the iPhone simulators. I've tried variations of Add Simulator, but I only get more iPhone simulators -- I never see a watch simulator or a pairing there. The watch simulator exists -- I can launch the simulator, but it isn't paired. I've tried deleting Xcode and re-installing.


How do I get the watch simulator to appear when I select an iPhone simulator in Device?


UPDATE: To be clear, these are Apple's instructions for "Pairing Apple Watch Simulators to iPhone Simulators" (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/recipes/xcode_help-devices_organizer/PairingWatchestoiPhoneSimulators/PairingWatchestoiPhoneSimulators.html)

  1. In the Devices window under Simulators, select an iPhone 5 and later simulator.
  2. Under the Paired Watches table, click the Add button (+).

I never see the "Paired Watches table" so there's no Add button.


UPDATE 2: In Xcode 8 beta 6, the Paired Watches table appears in the Devices window, but the pairing still fails with a "Simulator Not Paired" dialog.

What's the output of 'xcrun simctl list' (make sure the appropriate verison of Xcode is selected first with xcode-select)?


Can you use 'xcrun simctl pair <UDID> <UDID>' to setup the pairings you want?

I was also seeing "simulator not paired" when opening the Watch app on the iPhone simulator.

What I had to do was:

- Run/Debug the Watch app: this will launch the Watch simulator

- Leave the simulator running

- Run/Debug the Phone app: this will launch the Phone simulator.


Then, I can see the watch being paired from within the Wathc app on the iPhone simulator.

This allowed me to test installing the watch app, as I can now install it from the Watch app on the iPhone simulator
