I am trying to run the simple demo app from xcode on my Apple Watch SE 1st gen, which has WatchOS 10.6
This turned out to be an impossible mission.
I have xcode 16.1 installed, can't downgrade to 15.4 (which is the latest that supports this os) since it won't run on my OS (Sequoia), using parallels I installed Sonoma and xcode 15.4 but it won't recognize my iphone or my watch.
Asking ChatGPT it seems that it is possible to use the DeviceSupport watchOS 10.6 image if I get it from someone, but loading it up "the right way" on my machine turned out to be impossible.
Any recommendations / help / link to this file where I can download it?
DeviceSupport watchOS 10.6
No solution for this one?
Hi! From https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/, both Xcode 16.x and Xcode 26 run on macOS Sequoia and support device debugging for watchOS 10.6.
Could you add a message/screenshot of your error?
Hi!
I am not getting an error, the watch is simply not shown in the Devices view. I see my iphone, not the watch.
The watch is properly connected to my iphone.
I've gone through all the usual suspects (restart all, remove trust, remove this and that, restart again, etc.)
