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 installed to the wearable device. This is the logcat output:
07-28 15:11:54.107 766-820/? W/PackageManager﹕ Unknown permission com.google.android.wearable.READ_SETTINGS in package com.google.android.gms
07-28 15:11:54.117 766-820/? W/PackageManager﹕ Not granting permission com.google.android.gm.permission.AUTO_SEND to package com.google.android.wearable.app (protectionLevel=2 flags=0x88be44)

D/WearablePkgInstaller﹕ Got PackageUpdateReceiver message Intent { act=android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED dat=package:my.package.name flg=0x4000010 cmp=com.google.android.wearable.app/com.google.android.clockwork.companion.packagemanager.PackageUpdateReceiver (has extras) }
07-28 15:11:55.177 632-632/? D/WearablePkgInstaller﹕ Got PackageUpdateReceiver message Intent { act=android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED dat=package:my.package.name flg=0x4000010 cmp=com.google.android.wearable.app/com.google.android.clockwork.companion.packagemanager.PackageUpdateReceiver (has extras) }
As a side note I am able to package manually (also described in the link above) and the apk gets installed on the wearable device when I run it on the handset. I am using buildToolsVersion 20.0.0, I'm running Android Studio 0.8.2 and have this line in my handset module's build.gradle:
wearApp project(':wearable')
I've run out of ideas on how to debug this, the logs seem pretty useless. Any ideas?
EDIT: Going to post relevant sections of Manifest and build.gradle for both the handset and wearable module.

Go to Settings > Connectivity > Wi-Fi and turn it off. Connect and try again. Step 2: Open the Wear OS app on your phone and tap the gear icon for Settings, then tap your smartwatch name and tap Resync Apps.
If you're having issues connecting your watch and phone, please begin by making sure that your phone's OS version is compatible (Android 6.0+ and iOS 10.0+) and that the Wear OS by Google app is up-to-date. Then, check if you have activated Bluetooth on your phone, disable, and re-enable it.
To Answer @odiggity specifically, in build.gradle file of your phone app, you should mention the exact name of the wear app folder. If you created the project in Android Studio, then your build.gradle should look like this:
wearApp project(':wear')
This can happen because of the following reasons:
"permissions"
are not same (Wear App permissions should be a subset of Mobile App permissions).This is not documented anywhere on developers website, however I found this with my personal experience. The reason I can think of behind this restriction is, Google want to prevent sneaky developers to exploit users & their privacy.
Package name
of Wear & Mobile apps are not matching.VersionNumber
& VersionName
of both Wear & Mobile app not matchingApplication ID
(build.gradle file) of Mobile & wear app are not matching.release
buildssigned
with the same keytest only builds
that don't allow installation on wear (returnCode -15, see this information)If you are using Eclipse for development, make sure you turn off the "Asset Compression" otherwise the ".apk" file in raw folder will get double compressed
& the phone won't be able to recognize
if the Mobile app is packaging wear app or not.
Best Solution:
Use Android Studio.
Debugging
When you don't find the wear app on the wearable you can always look into logs of both devices to see what is going on. You can filter on WearablePkgInstaller
to find all logging related to wearable package installation.
From the Wear OS app on you device trigger the "resync apps" option from "advanced settings" and check the logs. Alternative way to sync only the wearable for your app is to reinstall your app. At that point the wearable is also synced for your package.
Device logging should list something like:
11-07 14:58:53.127 3330-8739/? I/WearablePkgInstaller: Setting DataItem to install wearable apps for com.spotify.music
With com.spotify.music being your app Id. This is just an example for Spotify.
And on the watch (debug over bluetooth or USB) you can find logging with this same filter showing issues or success:
11-07 15:00:02.533 1032-1048/? I/WearablePkgInstaller: Package com.spotify.music was installed.
Most error messages are self explanatory. You can find many examples of these errors in the source code of WearPackageInstallerService class. Some however are just a returnCode. For these return codes check the values in this PackageManager source code.
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.
I had this problem even after checking the package names, application IDs, and making sure the wear module didn't have any permissions that the handheld module didn't.
My problem was that I was requesting the permission android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE
in AndroidManifest.xml for the wearable module. It seems that this should only be requested for the handheld module.
