![]() ![]() ![]() To release to TestFlight I do a full build of the iOS app and then right-click and select Archive for Publishing: 30-120 seconds later, and the app is installed on my watch and I’m ready to test it: I then force-quit this iOS Apple Watch app by swiping it away, and go back to my app as above, and it shows as updating (assuming I already installed it). On the iPhone I open Apple’s Apple Watch app, scroll down to my app: To do that I build the iOS host app in release mode, and deploy that to my iPhone (I don’t deploy to the Apple Watch). ![]() When I’m ready to commit a new feature, I’ll test on a physical watch. I build and run and test on the WatchOS simulator when doing general development, since this is the fastest, and I can debug apps on the WatchOS simulatorĪt the time of writing (early June 2020), the released version of Visual Studio for Mac has an error where I can’t run my apps on real devices, so I have switched to the preview channel which contains a fix for the issue. In this post I’m going to describe how I develop and what some of the issues were that I encountered when testing and uploading to the App Store for beta testing. I’m working on my third Apple Watch app built using Xamarin.
