WatchKit app wont run on simulator

Question

error: WatchKit Extension doesn\'t contain any WatchKit apps. Verify that the value of WKWatchKitApp in your WatchKit App\'s Info.plist is set to YES.

Answer 1

I had changed the autogenerated Bundle ID and then hit the same error.

I found that the value in the WatchKit Extension plist needed to get updated. Do a global search on this "WKAppBundleIdentifier" and then make it match the bundle id of your WatchKit app. This fixed the error for me.

Answer 2

I found that in extension sources it was pointing to Debug-iphoneos location of WatchKitApp so readding it fixed the problem

Answer 3

this solved the problem for me:

• go to WatchKit Extension | Build Phases | Copy Bundle Resources
• click the +
• search the products folder and choose WatchKit App.app

afterwards clean and rebuild
