"Install of Apple Watch Application never finished" Error when deploying watch kit app to device
I keep running into this as well with Xcode 7 beta and iOS 9 / watchOS 2 simulators.
One solution that worked for me was to reset and restart both simulators, but it didn't work reliably. So I tried some other things, and what eventually started to work reliably for me was:
- Go to the "Apple Watch" companion app on the iOS simulator.
- Click your app's name.
- Toggle "Show App on Apple Watch" switch as shown in the screenshot below. (turn it off, and back on again)
- Run the app again from Xcode.
Well with much testing and fooling around, I was able to fix the problem.
There was a mix of the error above as well as the usual verification error.
I had to double check and triple check that all 3 of the developer provisioning profiles for watch ext, watch app, and the app were up to date with the updated Watch UDID device.
Note: For debugging watch apps, I have found that you seem to have to select to run the app from your watch and then the debugger will trigger
I had this problem with the simulator. I solved it by resetting both simulators (File/"Reset Content and Settings..."). Not sure if I had to be that drastic... deleting the app may have worked also, restarting the simulator didn't.
