Since I upgraded to iOS 15, watchOS 8 and Xcode 13, after I turned off and on my Mac, every first time I want to launch an app from Xcode to my iPhone appear this message (even if I'm not developing for watchOS):
iPhone is busy: Making Apple Watch ready for development
The Mac stays stuck on it for at least 20 minutes.
The only solution I found (until now) is to switch off WiFi on my Watch.
Is there a better solution?
Turning off completely Bluetooth (Settings -> Bluetooth -> Off) forced any reconnect attempts or limbo state to go away, and then I could proceed with building my project :-)
I got same problem with Latest Version of iOS and watchOS. When I quit Xcode, reopen Xcode and retry the build, it solved.
Same problem here. I tried turning on/off everything as suggested in this thread, even un-paired my Watch from iPhone. Nothing worked. Spent 5 hours trying to rectify.
And then I finally found a solution: I cleared the /Users/me/Library/Xcode/DerivedData directories for my app. (ie, any directory which begins with your app name.) That did it. Could have saved myself a 1/2 day of programming if I had tried that 1st.
YMMV

Add a CommentI had the same problem! iphone tries to activate my apple watch 1 to no avail and they both download in half a day! How can I solve this problem? This prevents me from testing the apps in progress on XCODE because iphone is stale.
same problem here. Very annoying. Slowing down my development work considerably. Please fix
Quite frustrating, any chance we can get this fixed for the new year? Driving us all bananas.
