• From Target Watch, i have selected my asset for Apple Watch.

After doing all that still the icon is not appearing in Companion Settings. What i need to do to make it appear?

Answer 1

I found my project show watch companion app icon right on iOS9.2, but doesn't show the icon on iOS9.1. you can update you IOS version to 9.2,then check if the icon show.

Answer 2

I didn't find anything regarding this issue elsewhere. Resetting the iPhone and Watch 1-2 times solved this problem.

Answer 3

The WatchKit does not share the Images.xcassets file from the main target app.

When adding a WatchKit to your project, it will create 2 folders <projectname> WatchKit Extension & <projectname> WatchKit App.

You will need to add the Icons for the watch in the Images.xcassets file in the WatchKit App folder.

This should solve your problem.
