Apple Watch Not Showing in Device List

I was having some trouble installing app to test on my Apple Watch (Series 9) so I removed it and thought to re-add it. However, after removing it, it no longer shows under my iPhone for me to add it as a possible run destination.

I have tried numerous actions:

  • Restart all devices
  • Repair my watch
  • Use hotspot so everything is on the same network
  • Delete and reinstall Xcode

None of these actions seem to be working. Does anyone have a way to get my watch to show up?

I've mentioned how I connect my Apple Watch to Xcode in this thread. I haven't seen any blocking issue with that, and so maybe you can give it a try.

In your case, does your Apple Watch show up in the list of Xcode > Window > Devices and Simlators > Devices as a connected / Disconnected device? Did you try to manually add your watch by using the "+" button in the left-bottom corner there?

Best,
