Android Wear app not installing through handset

Question

I\'m trying to get a wearable app installed through an Android handset using the \'Package with Android Studio method\' found here but it\'s not working. The apk is never in

Answer 1

I had ussue with wear product flavors. I had flavors in both handheld and wear apps. To solve my issue I used next code in build.gradle handheld app file:

freeWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'wearfreeRelease')
fullWearApp project(path: ':wear', configuration: 'wearfullRelease')

where, free and full are flavors from handheld module, wearfree and wearfull are flavors from wear mudule, Release is name of wear module buildtype.

And don't forget publishNonDefault true in the android block of the wear gradle.

Answer 2

I've been having this issue recently, and in the end the following fixed it;

• Uninstall previous app
• Restart Phone
• Restart wear
• Disconnect and reconnect wear
• Re-Sync apps in Android Wear application

And then it popped up on the watch. Before this I tried everything and was convinced the build was not working right
