This is such a ridiculous saga. I have spent the entire day trying to get this to work. First, I tried unpairing the watch and that was a big mistake. It took me an hour to finally get it paired, but now 100% of the time the device will not connect. I am moments away from returning this watch and iPhone and just giving up. Whatever engineers at Apple are responsible for this should be ashamed of themselves. I have worked on embedded systems a lot and this is just as bad, if not worse.

I have now spent about 12 hours on this. I have pretty much tried everything now, including trying to completely uninstall Xcode and reinstall it as well as unpairing the watch from the phone. Where I am now is that I can get the phone to be seen by xcode but when it pairs and connects, when I click on the phone, it DOES NOT show that the watch is paired with the phone.

So caught in some sort of nefarious loop. I will try waiting to the morning, but honestly, if this works then it is like a big WTF Apple. I really appreciate the response. Fingers crossed.

@darkpaw Unfortunately this did not work. Its been over a day. I can not believe how fragile developing on Apple is. Really embarrassing for a company that tries to own the entire ecosystem. Also another word on how sloppy Apple is even hear on the forum, tried to reply directly to you and got "undefinedundefined Your post couldn’t be saved. Please try again in a few minutes."
