Unable to install ad-hoc watchOS companion app

Question

I have a companion app for my react-native iOS app. I created an ad-hoc build to install it. But the install just fails when I try to install it to the watch. I couldn't find anything useful from the watch logs. Here are the logs from the phone:

Can anyone help me make sense of this log? What went wrong here?

Answer 1

The issue turned out to be watch UDID not included in the provisioning profile. 🤷‍♂️
