Ios: Apple Watch app cannot be installed

[2092769]

I installed home assistant for IOS app version 2.0.0 bete (43) on my mobile phone

All the IOS devices, including the iPhone and ipad, ran smoothly during my installation and testing. But when installing on the Apple watch platform, it always shows that the installation is in progress, even if the app on the IOS end matched with the watch is uninstalled and reinstalled, it will not help.

I would like to ask the professionals of R&D team to help me solve this annoying problem. Thank you.

Found this after a lot of Googling. For whoever starts looking into this issue, you'll probably want to take a look at this SO post

So far, this seems to only be an issue for apple watch apps that use certain CocoaPods. The project I'm working on has this issue with CocoaLumberjack. After I removed it from the watch app, we were able to install the watch app fine from TestFlight again. I also tested out adding different pods to the watch app (I tried Alamofire and AFNetworking) and I was able to install the watch app for those builds as well. The guy who posted on SO is having the issue with ObjectMapper. So, it seems to only be an issue if you're using certain CocoaPods.

Hopefully this is just an issue on Apple's side of things and they can resolve it soon.

@robbiet480 Wanted to tag you since it looks like you're working on the watch app for this project?

Looks like the issue may be that WatchOS now requires UTF-16; see this Apple Developers Forum post. I would have a guess that now the name of the Watch App has gone from Watch App to Home Assistant β this may be the issue. Possibly also an issue with the Dev build?

My Watch App is also stuck upgrading to Home Assistant β, but is usable.

It looks like the changes made to WatchApp/Info.plist and WatchAppExtension/Resources/Info.plist in this commit are the cause.

Reverted in build 44 which is coming shortly, thanks all!

[lolouk44]

Thanks @robbiet480
Just attempted install on watch with build 44 and still get the same error message.
Let me know what you need to help you get this fixed.

[robbiet480]

Yeah just saw that myself. Oh well. Saw this error from TestFlight via Console which is a clue at least:

Watch Install Update (for iOSAppID: 1228023491, iOSBuildID: 41267607, buildVersion: 2.0.0 (44)):
Could not find a matching profile. Profile bundleIDs: (
    "io.robbie.HomeAssistant.beta.watchkitapp",
    "io.robbie.HomeAssistant.beta.watchkitapp.watchkitextension"
)

Will probably have to open a trouble ticket with Apple tomorrow.

Great thanks. Above link is exactly what I'm experiencing too.
Shout out if you need any info / logs / other from me

[robbiet480]

Apple wants me to submit a bunch of info and maybe it'll get fixed. That forum thread is growing though, so at least it's not just us having this issue.

[robbiet480]

@2092769 @lgauthier @TomBrien @lolouk44 Mind providing me some information? It should be everything I need. Apple Developer Support needs as many people as possible that are experiencing this. Thanks

1. Go into the TestFlight app, click your picture in the top right, and take a screenshot of that page
2. The TestFlight app version you are using (latest is 2.2.1)
3. Your device model, e.g. iPhone XS Max, iPhone 8 Plus, etc

[lolouk44]

Sure. What name and Id address you after? Where do I get this?

[robbiet480]

@lolouk44 If you go into the TestFlight app and click your picture in the top right, just a screenshot of that page should be everything I need.

[lolouk44]

Just emailed you a screenshot. Thanks

Just emailed you the info you requested above

[krissen]

b49 probably wasn’t expected to fix this, but just chiming in that the Watch app isn’t being installed with that version either.

[TomBrien]

I have just succesfully installed the watch app. Running build 54 but I don't believe that has anything to do with it.

[lolouk44]

That's interesting, I'm in the same position. Just read @TomBrien 's message and the app is installing on my watch too as I write this

[davidbb]

Confirming the watch app installs on build 54.

[SeanPM5]

Thanks for all the successful reports, this issue appears to be fixed as of this morning.

If anyone is still NOT able to install the Apple Watch app through Testflight with build 54 please reply to this and I'll reopen.
