I am new to application development for Android Wear. My company needs to deploy to the customer our Android Wear application without using Play Store. I have read this
https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/packaging.html
but I don't understand if it is possible to use the embedded method like wear 1.x on wear 2. I tried the embedded method but when I install the phone application and if I check the log of wear I can see this message:
I/PackageChangesService: App is not installed
Before posting this thread I read on Stack Overflow many possible solution for this, like using the same name space, same permission on phone and wear etc. But I can't find a solution that works.
So on an Android Wear 2 smartwatch it is not possible to use the packaging method?

From this article,
A Wear 2.0 user must visit the Play Store on their watch to install apps. There is no auto-install like on Wear 1.X. Wear 2.0 apps get full network access and can be installed completely separately from the handheld app so the focus is much more on standalone Wear apps than the handheld centric 1.X Wear apps.
