iOS: Watch Kit paired device unavailable for development
This is what worked for me, and it is a lot easier and faster than un-pairing so I would try this first. From the Clock Face Swipe up, and click on the Ping iPhone button. After it makes a sound, go back in Xcode it should change no longer be unpaired or unavailable for development.
I had the same issue on iOS 9.1 + WatchOS 2.01 that XCode 7.1 kept saying "paired device not available for development". Here is what I did to solve it finally, not quite sure which step is critical -
- Unpair my watch
- Reboot both iPhone and apple watch
- Pair them again, and setup my watch as a new one
- Plug (unplug first) iPhone to Mac
- On apple watch, say Trust the computer when it asks
- Unplug and plug again
Bang! My apple watch is well recognized for development.Hope it helps.
I can confirm having this too by using the following configuration:OS X, Xcode7.2 beta, iPhone5s with iOS9.2 and WatchOS 2.1
I unplugged the iphone again, closed and restarted Xcode and plugged in the iPhone again - than it worked fine!
