Apple Watch App target

Help
1

Hi.

I’m trying to run the Watch app for iOS as a companion.
I’m using:
– Flutter 3.29.3
– Xcode 16.3

A basic Flutter “hello world” app and a watch app.
I moved the “Thin Binary” build phase down and added the “WKCompanionAppBundleIdentifier” key to info.plist.
They build separately well, but don’t install together.

I tried running some basic Flutter watch apps from github (like “basicwatch”). They also don’t install together.

Any idea what’s going on?

I don’t think you can run Flutter app on Apple Watch, there have been some experiments around it but in reality you have to implement watch extension as a normal Swift “app”. See more here in this video: https://youtu.be/l1-QYqaGyMk?t=102

that’s not the question

The master channel of the SDK just added "watchOS target os

  • add support for --os=watchos | --os=watchos_simulator"

There is not a lot of info, but it looks like you can target watchOS during builds and the watchOS_simulator when running.
