Hello, I’m developing an Apple Watch companion app for my swimming application and the app keeps uninstalling/disappearing from Apple Watch. I have a specific Scheme to install it to my watches, it appears there, I can debug but after a while it disappears. It’s my first app for this device but it doesn’t seem normal to me. any idea?
Apple Watch companion app keeps uninstalling
Would you mind to check if the Show App on Apple Wwatch in the Watch app in your iPhone is (unintentionally) off? You can find the setting with the following steps:
- Launching the Watch app in your iPhone.
- Select the My Watch tab and find your app in the
Installed On Apple Watchsection. - Tap your app to see the setting.
Assuming that your watchOS app is not watch-only, I am also curious if your watchOS app's Info.plist has the WKRunsIndependentlyOfCompanionApp key and its value is YES.
Best,
——
