Monitor the status of device preparation in the Devices and Simulators window. Plug the iOS device into the Mac using USB cable.Ĭheck each iOS device and each watch for any pairing request and approve the requests.

Power-off and disconnect all iOS device from the Mac. You can force Xcode to freshly prepare a watch for development using these steps: Workaround: Power off the watches, or unpair them from the iPhone. The hangs occur when the watches aren't fully prepared for development, or if they are experiencing poor wireless connectivity. Xcode may hang if the host Mac is connected to an iOS device which has one or more companion watches.
