WatchOS: which icon is used in the MyWatch App

I'm currently building a WatchOS2 app.

Everything works fine, except that when my app is listed in the MyWatch app on my iPhone, it is displayed without the icon.

I googled a lot, but haven't found any hints on the required icon (size, name, location, ...), or hints on which icon will be used from the MyWatch app.

Thanks for any hints on this.

Make sure that you are putting your icons ".png" files into the asset catalog in the main watch app folder, not the app "extension" folder. Next, note that the files under "Apple Watch Companion Settings" will be the ones that show up in the Apple Watch app on the paired iOS device. The sizes should be 58px for the 2x and 87px for the 3x. To get the files in the proper location, all you need to do is drag and drop them into your "Assets.xcassets" folder for the Apple Watch app.

As far as getting it to show up on the iOS simulator, I cannot get it to show up either. When I run the same apps on the actual watch and phone though, the icons show up just fine inside of the Apple Watch app on my iPhone.

For more information on Apple Watch icons, check out the human interface guidlines.
