Hey guys,

So I've installed the IOS 9 beta on my iPhone 6. As we all know it makes you pair your watch again so I did that. Then I installed the configuration directly on my phone by going to the developer portal and selecting Apple Watch as the installation location which brought me to the WatchOS 2 beta configuartion profile installtion screen. There I installed the profile onto my watch which caused the watch to restart. From there I went to the Apple Watch App ---> General ---> Software Update (I had previoulsy downloaded the update so that all I had to do was install it) ---> When I click install it just sits at a screen that says "Verifying" Just like it looks below. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or thoughts on what I should do.

Yes Both of my UDID's are registered on the developer portal as well. My watch is also charging, at 100% and connected to my phone via bluetooth.

NOTE : I do have a different AppleID on my watch than my developer ID. I wanted to keep them seperate. However, I do not think this should be the problem because I installed IOS 9 with no problems.

Thanks in advance!

Mrfearless,

Tried that and it didnt work,

however I unpaired my watch which deletes all information on it and re-paired it. After that I installed the configuration profile again and redownloaded the beta and it succesfully installed on to my watch. The whole process took about 3 hours an was sucessfully installed on to my watch!

Special thanks to Mrfearless for reaching out and trying to help, thanks again!

This was my experience yesterday. Discovered two easy fixes that speeded up the install quickly and overcame all the various obstacles that this approach to updating creates. First, set your iPhone to "Never" lock screen, and turn off PASSCODE in the watch. This enables both devices to remain "alive" during the entire update process. I plug both into chargers while this is going on so that when it is done, both have lost no charge. When you've installed the update successfully, turn the lock screen back on to whatever delay you had it at before the upgrade, and return the PASSCODE to the watch.

Hope this helps.
