There are several posts on this issue but none of the proposed solutions work in my case. I am trying to integrate the WatchKit into a simple, sample app (I've tried a couple now) by following the instructions provided by Apple. When I compile I get the following error message:
"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."
I have successfully compiled and run the Apple Watch "Catalog" example so I know things are working from an iPhone to Watch perspective. It seems like something is not right when I try to integrate with an existing app. I have seen the posts here on this topic (e.g. WatchKit app wont run on simulator) but none of the fixes work in my case; the bundle IDs all appear to be correct. Note I am trying to compile and run on an iPhone 6 not on the simulator. Any suggestions?
This error occurred for me when I changed the bundle id of my main iOS App. This is what I did in the project explorer
Under WatchApp --> plist
WKCompanionAppBundleIdentifier ==> Give the id of the iOS App (com.xxxx.appname)
Under WatchApp Extension --> plist
NSExtension-->NSExtensionAttributes-->WKAppBundleIdentifier ==> Give the id of your watchkit app (eg: com.xxxx.appname.watchkitapp)
this fixed the error for me.
I ran into this problem on XCode Version 10.2 (10E125)
, i realizes when i changed WatchkitApp Bundle identifier one key in watchkitapp extension did not changed and stayed as old bundle identifier.
the path to plist: /Users/.../YourXcodeProjectFolder/Project/YourWatchkitExtensionFolder/info.plist
the problem occurd here:
<key>NSExtension</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExtensionAttributes</key>
<dict>
<key>WKAppBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.applecode.water.watchkit</string>
</dict>
<key>NSExtensionPointIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.watchkit</string>
</dict>
the key WKAppBundleIdentifier
was made the problem, so i changed it by my self.
I noticed this on Xcode version 8.2.1. Here is how I fixed it.
Go to "WatchKit App" -> Build Settings -> Packaging -> Product Name
Change it so any string different from current string. Agreed that it is a bizarre solution as called in the link below.
