Issue: The build hangs with "iPhone is busy: making Apple Watch ready for development"
Further facts:
Does anyone know a solution for that issue?
Many of the developers have the same issue:

If your Apple Watch is stuck on verifying or preparing, it's often because your watch does not have enough storage space available. So if you free up some space on your watch, that should do the trick!
In Xcode 6.3. 2, two steps are necessary: Remove the WatchKit extension from "Target Dependencies" Remove WatchKit extension from "Embed App Extensions"
When you're trying to update your Apple Watch, the device usually says the process should take 30 minutes or maybe one hour to complete. Unfortunately, your watch may sometimes change the estimated update time and quickly jump to 5 hours, or even 3 or 5 days.
This is what works for me:

I have been struggling with this for some time now. If you don't need the Apple Watch, instead of turning it off completely, you can also turn on airplane mode if configured correctly.
On your watch, go to Settings App → Airplane Mode. Make sure that both WIFI and Bluetooth switches are turned off!
When the bluetooth switch is turned on, a connection will still be established even if your watch is in airplane mode AND bluetooth is turned off on the phone from Control Center. It took me some time to figure this out...
Update: The Bluetooth setting seems to turn itself on again after some time! No idea why... 🤷🏼♂️ Keep that in mind and check the setting again if flight mode does not fix your issue.
When running flutter doctor, it will give you a clear hint, that your watch is causing the issue.
When trying to build your app e.g. from Android Studio, you might instead find these messages in your log:
The requested device could not be found because no available devices matched the request.
Available destinations for the "dev" scheme:
[list of devices]
Could not build the precompiled application for the device.
Building a deployable iOS app requires a selected Development Team with a Provisioning Profile. Please ensure that a Development Team is selected by:
[instructions how to set the development team]
Ineligible destinations for the "dev" scheme:
[list of devices]
I put these messages here for people googling them. If you have an Apple Watch, then run flutter doctor to check if this is the root cause.

I think all answers are overlooked, you don't need 5-20 mins if you let it finish the preparing process, it'll take just a few minutes, 5 mins top.. But regarding fixing this with an upgrade, that's not the case, and I would love to see it fixed, or offered with an option to exclude watch from the dev purpose unless really needed.

I facing this issue too. This is because the latest xcode only support until iOS 15.2 sdk, but my phone's iOS version is 15.3. Thus, xcode is downloading the iOS 15.3 sdk from your phone that's why takes time (I knew the message is not saying that)
However, I do some testing and it works for me.

The Apple Watch configuration takes around 5 minutes. It's way better to postpone everything and let it run for 5 minutes then the other workarounds - such as disconnecting your watch, turning on/off your iphone, etc
