Question

this error pops up when I try to run my project

target specifies product type 'com.apple.product-type.watchkit2-extension', but there's no such product type for the 'iphonesimulator' platform

I don't know what to do please help.

Answer 1

In my case, most of the things were ok when I add watchkit extension with xcode 7. but debug target of the extension was iOS. So when I run in debug/simulator I got this error. I have to change them to WatchOS. and Solved. Select Project > Targets > Supported Platform > Debug > watchOS (I had iOS here).

Answer 2

Select watch targets,Then change tab to Build settings (Please make sure you selected all build settings, marked in screenshot). Then change supported platforms to WatchOS. and Solved.
