Apple Watch cannot reconnect

It's not working for me either - exact same message in Xcode 15 Beta 6. I see this:

xcrun devicectl list devices
xcrun: error: sh -c '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcodebuild -sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -find devicectl 2> /dev/null' failed with exit code 17664: (null) (errno=Invalid argument)
xcrun: error: unable to find utility "devicectl", not a developer tool or in PATH

Getting:

/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/devicectl device info ddiServices --device UUID_HERE --verbose
Using verbose logging.
ERROR: The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation timed out (NSPOSIXErrorDomain error 60.)

I've tried everything as well - not connecting with Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 10 (21R5295g) and Xcode 15 beta 6. Either says "Connecting ..." or "Waiting..." and keeps switching between the two. Unable to test the app.

I have been experiencing the same issue in the latest betas without any luck trying everything I can think of, has anyone found a solution? I have also filed a report about the issue: FB13022879

Seeing the same issue with Xcode 15 Beta 7 even though it says watchOS connectivity has been resolved. see "Waiting to reconnect to Apple Watch Series 5" and then a "Connecting to Apple Watch Series 5" message and it keeps switching between the two

Seeing the same issue with Xcode 15 Beta 7 even though it says watchOS connectivity has been resolved.

It says Waiting to reconnect to Apple Watch van Mark, Xcode will continue when the operation completes. (See image)

I tried:

• Completly erasing the Apple Watch
• Update iPhone to the latest Public Beta version
• Update Apple Watch to latest Public Beta version
• Repair the Apple Watch with the iPhone
• Connecting the iPhone with a cable

Nothing helped.

Xcode 15 Beta 8 the issue has not been resolved.

• Updated iPhone en Watch to the latest developer version
• Unpaired the Watch and then pair it again
• Turned Wifi off on the Mac, Turned it back on
• Opened the Watch app on the iPhone
• Turned airplane mode on all and back on
• Deleted everything in the cache (~/Library/Developer/Xcode)

Nothing works.

For me it works after I ensure that watch, phone and laptop are connected to the same WiFi network. Also once it helped to plug USB cable from phone to different port of laptop.

Just installed Sonoma and I'm having this issue now as well, no idea how to fix it.

Certainly! Here's an improved version of your forum response:

In Xcode Beta 8, I encountered the same problem. Here's how I resolved it:

1. Navigate to Manage Run Destinations.
2. Remove the watch from the list.
3. Set everything up from the beginning.
4. Connect the phone using a USB cable.
5. Add the watch back to the list.

This approach worked for me and resolved the issue. I hope it helps!

I have the same issue. When the Apple Watch tries to reconnect, I noticed that an error message flashes, which I was able to capture through screen recording.

Hi, Bruno! I had the same situation at start as you: no serial number, no watchOS number.

Then I turned on wifi on watches, so all my devices (macbook, iPhone and watch) were in the same network. after that all these numbers appeared, but still no connection, "trying to connect..."

Then I unpaired iPhone and watch from the "Manage Run Destination" menu, and started all over.

First connected my iPhone through a cable to MacBook (developer mode is on) - no problem. But now on the watches appeared the same menu under privacy settings developer mode - and it was - off. Then Xcode said fetching debug symbols... all that stuff. and it works eventually

I wish you luck, I was banging my head a long time

Here's what worked for me:

Conditions

• Xcode 15.0;
• iPhone already available as a Run Destination;
• Watch is shown in the list, but no information about it is displayed, status switched between "Connecting" and "Waiting to reconnect";
• watchOS 10.0.1;
• Shared WiFi network.

Steps

1. In Xcode, open Window > Devices and Simulators;

2. Connect iPhone with a cable (not sure if this step is required);

• At this stage, watch is in the "Devices" list, no information about it is displayed, status of the watch switches between "Connecting" and "Waiting to reconnect".

1. On the watch, go to Settings > WiFi, make sure WiFi is on and select the WiFi network;

• At this stage, Xcode clearly connected to the watch and the note under the status changed to "Enable developer mode".

1. On the watch, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer mode (at the very bottom of the list);

• Watch restarted, asked to trust the Mac again, all permissions were given.

Xcode attempted to reconnect and, after a short while, connected to the watch successfully and started the pairing process. The whole procedure took a few minutes and now the watch is available as a Run Destination.

p.s. Xcode statuses are "rough approximations" from memory, all steps might not be necessary.

i did every possible thing, nothing helps
