Xcode 26.4 on macOS 26.3.1 cannot pair a real Apple Watch for development.
iPhone companion is visible and stable in Devices and Simulators.
Watch is paired to iPhone and works normally, but Xcode shows:
CoreDeviceError Code: 4
RemotePairingError Code: 1007
“The device rejected the connection request.”
“Ensure the device is paired with this machine.”
What I already tried:
trusted Mac on iPhone
re-paired Watch with iPhone
reconnected iPhone by cable
reset authorized computers on Watch
restarted devices
reopened Devices and Simulators
Result:
iPhone remains stable
Watch is seen intermittently or stays reconnecting / rejects pairing
app logic is otherwise working on iPhone side
Need:
steps to restore Watch ↔ Xcode development pairing without further destructive resets.
