iOS: Watch Kit paired device unavailable for development

Question

I can\'t run my Apple Watch application in XCode. My phone+watch is listed as a \"Unavailable Device\" and says \"paired device unavailable for development\". When I try to laun

Answer 1

I had to unlock the watch with my passcode.

• If already unlocked, lock it then unlock.

Answer 2

my problem was having to authorize the computer from the Apple Watch... (with last release Xcode 10.2)

Answer 3

I had issues with this too, using Xcode Beta 7.3 version 3. I updated to Xcode Beta 7.3 version 5 and it's working fine. Hope this helps!

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

I got rid of the message after re-pairing which took about 30+ mins.

However, it could have been that restarting the watch would have fixed it so try that.

Also try deleting the DerviedData.

After I got the message to go away, the app wouldn't install on the phone. I had previously created a WatchKit project from an AppCode template. After creating a new project from XCode, it started to work.

Answer 6

It just happened to me and I fixed it by

1. quitting Xcode
2. putting the Watch on the charger
3. open Xcode
4. select the Watch App Target
5. select the iPhone paired to watch as the device to run
6. Wait until '(paired device unavailable for development)' or '(no paired Apple Watch)' disappears from device description at the Xcode toolbar
7. Run!
