Hi, Have old equipment. I know I should upgrade but new to the Apple development environment (very new) so please excuse my ignorance. Just trying things out for the first time.
Hardware & OS:
- Mac Mini 2018, macOS Sequoia 15.7.2
- iPhone SE 3rd gen, iOS 18.7.8 (dev device)
- Apple Watch Series 9, watchOS 11.6.2
- Xcode 16.4 (16F6)
Setup: The Apple Watch was freshly erased and re-paired to the iPhone SE via the Watch app. Developer Mode is enabled on the iPhone. The iPhone connects to Xcode and appears under Window → Devices and Simulators. However the Apple Watch shows as Disconnected in Xcode even though:
- The Watch app on the SE shows the watch as paired
- Bluetooth on the SE shows the watch as connected
- Both devices are on the same WiFi network
- The watch is unlocked and worn
Error seen previously with Xcode 16.0: "Internal logic error: Connection was invalidated"
After upgrading to Xcode 16.4, the watch appears in the device list but shows as Disconnected. Restarting both the iPhone and the watch does not resolve it. Replugging the USB cable causes the iPhone to reconnect but the watch remains disconnected.
Has anyone seen this with a freshly paired watch on a dev-only iPhone? Any suggestions appreciated. Just a newbie.
