Environment:
- MacBook Air M4
- macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta
- Xcode 27 Beta
- iPhone running iOS 27 Beta
- Apple Watch Series 10 paired to the iPhone
Steps to Reproduce:
- Install macOS 27 Beta and Xcode 27 Beta.
- Pair an Apple Watch with an iPhone running iOS 27 Beta.
- Enable Developer Mode on the iPhone.
- Connect the iPhone to the Mac and launch Xcode.
- Open Window → Devices and Simulators.
- Attempt to locate the paired Apple Watch or enable Developer Mode on the watch.
Expected Result:
- The paired Apple Watch appears in Xcode for development purposes.
- A Developer Mode option is available on the Apple Watch.
- Xcode is able to recognize and communicate with the watch through the paired iPhone.
Actual Result:
- The Apple Watch does not appear in Xcode.
- No Developer Mode option is visible on the watch.
- The iPhone is successfully paired and running iOS 27 Beta, but the watch remains unavailable for development workflows.
Additional Notes:
- The iPhone and Apple Watch are already paired and functioning normally.
- Developer Mode is enabled on the iPhone.
- Restarting devices and reconnecting the iPhone did not resolve the issue.
- Unsure whether this is a limitation of the current beta builds or a regression in Xcode/watchOS development tooling.
