I can't follow you. When I first setup the Watch target in XCode 13, XCode created two targets: one Watch App target and one Extension. This is also how it is shown in the latest tutorial: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/swiftui/creating-a-watchos-app But when I moved to XCode 14 and set up the new single-target for the Watch App is not included in archives and submissions anymore. When I inspect the archive, it is not included and in TestFlight app details it states "Watch App: No".

Yes, that's what was missing. Thank you! It's weird that XCode does not automatically add the watch app as a dependency, though.

Yes that's it! (And it is still that way in 2022, so 2 years later)

This is the correct way to do it. In fact, the Watch app will sync to a different Key-Value store. The iCloudKey-Value Store needs to be changed manually in the entitlements file as you said. However, I decided to change the Watch app's entitlements file to use the bundle identifier of the iOS app by setting it to $(TeamIdentifierPrefix)com.my-company.myApp

Awesome! I had the exact same issue. When testing on the Development environment, I had never added this many images or very large images. So CoreData would never extract image data to external ckAsset files / objects and the field was missing from the schema on the iCloud Dashboard. The trick is to really force CoreData to extract the data to separate assets by adding a lot of large assets (in my case images). Thank you very much!

@Engineer Yes! This seems to solve the issue. Thank you. 🙏 Tip to anybody having issues debugging their share extensions on the Mac: It seems that macOS caches the share extension activation rules for all apps that are in the Applications folder. If changes to your activation rule seem to have no effect when run from XCode, try to make a production build and place it in your Applications folder (and maybe reboot).

I found that his is (now?) also mentioned in the XCode 16.3 beta release notes: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-16_3-release-notes#Distribution There are in fact two locations that should be deleted: /Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles and ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles

I have already filed a feedback but it usually takes weeks to get a response (if any at all). So, I was hoping there is something I can change or reset on my machine. Legacy Mode does not change anything.

No, I am still in contact with Apple via a feedback ticket. I got a new MacBook and then it worked briefly. But now it is broken again. And this affects all projects for me, even simple hello-worlds sample projects. If you have similar issues, please also file a Feedback and feel free to reference mine FB17632634
