How to package the wearable apps?

Hy I am trying to package the wearable app using Android studio 1.0.1 and I am following the steps given on this link https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/packaging.html and I followed the steps over 3 successfully . but when go for 4th step , that is to click the Build menu on AS and to click the signed apk , but after that I got a selection box , weather to sign the mobile apk or to sign the wear app.

Now this is a point which is confusing for me , Should I go for Mobile app and It is all done and I would be able then to install the app on mobile and it will push the wear app to wearable or should I first signed the wear app and then paste this signed app in the mobile app and then select the sign mobile app , ??? what should I do to make it work

I think that my question is quite clear now. waiting for help

You should build and sign your just mobile application. Wearable aplication will be signed automatically and introduced inside mobile .apk

You could check this opening the .Apk generated as a .zip. Wear apk will be in res/raw/ folder.

You have to simply create a module of your wear app with the same applicationId. In addition you add to your gradle script file of your mobile app:

dependencies {
   //something bla bla
   wearApp project(':mywearable')
}

Generete from Android Studio menu your release APK for your mobile app. You'll see actually that two apk are generated, the mobile and the wear apk but it's only a convenience for you. If you check the mobile apk you'll see the wear app inside, so don't worry use always to publish the mobile apk.
