The process of copying shared cache symbols from my Apple Watch has been horrendous. I cannot even get past 2% complete before this process fails.
Every device is on the same network. I have trusted my machine. Developer mode is enabled on the watch. I have successfully paired the phone and watch. I managed to install an Watch app onto the watch. But the shared cache symbols were never copied from the watch.
I gathered several commands at the terminal to help me.
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/CoreDevice
sudo killall -9 remoted CoreDeviceService 2>/dev/null || true
xcrun devicectl manage ddis update
xcrun devicectl list devices
Clear CoreDevice state. With Xcode quit:
rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.dt.Xcode
Reset Xcode's Local Network permission.
tccutil reset Local-Network com.apple.dt.Xcode
tccutil reset Bluetooth com.apple.dt.Xcode
xcrun devicectl device info hardware --device MY_DEVICE_ID
xcrun devicectl list devices
ping -c 3 MY_IP_ADDRESS
Confirm no VPN/proxy/filter is lurking
scutil --nwi
ifconfig | grep -E "utun|ipsec|tap|tun"
xcrun devicectl device info details --device MY_DEVICE_ID
xcrun devicectl manage pair --device MY_DEVICE_ID
I keep obtain this type of error:

Does anyone have ideas to help me overcome this nightmare?
