Watchkit AppIcon - The app icon set named "AppIcon" did not have any applicable content

Question

There is the Images.xcassets file in my WatchKit App. As soon as I put any icon in that asset build failed with the error message: "The app icon set named "AppIcon" did not have any applicable content."

Answer 1

This is an easy method to generate your WatchKit icons, which worked well for me:

• Upload a source image to http://makeappicon.com
• Go to Images.xcassets in the WatchKit app
• Right click on the pane which includes AppIcon, select "Import...", and choose the watchkit folder that makeappicon.com generated for you

Answer 2

Most likely your watchKit app icons are not of the correct size. You need the following sizes

    (these are all in pixels)
    48 x 48
    55 x 55
    58 x 58
    80 x 80
    87 x 87
    88 x 88
    172 x 172
    196 x 196

Basically all the numbers you see in at bottom under Images.xcassets you need to double them as they need to be retina display.
