I am developing a simple watch app and I use my personal watch for development with Xcode. Personal watch is series 10 gps only.
I have two other watches that I want to use for testing the app, but not needing them to be connected to Xcode. The test watches have cellular option, and I need a cell plan per watch because the watches need to be standalone, not counting initial setup.
To get the standalone cell plan the watches need to be configured using AWFK. Here is what I have tried/current issues.
- I switch between all three watches on my phone using the watch app.
- Originally tried to put test watches in developer mode, thinking I would connect to Xcode, developer mode is not available when watch is setup using AWFK.
- Pushed the watch app to apple connect, setup TestFlight group, added the test users and my phone user, accepted invites
- TestFlight is installed on my phone, I see the testflight setup for the watch app
- I set a test watch using watch app on the phone, run install for the test app from TestFlight on the phone, spinner moves for awhile then goes back to Install.
I am not able to get the watch app installed on the test watches from the phone. Is what I am attempting to do supported? I haven't found much specific documentation on this. If I pair the test watches as regular watches, set them to developer mode, can I pair them again as AWFK and will developer mode survive the switch? Or is there something really simple that I'm overlooking?
Appreciate any help that can be extended.
