How to pair a Wear OS emulator to a companion app running in another emulator?

Question

Is this possible in the current version (Arctic Fox) of Android Studio but nothing that I have tried has worked? I've seen references to old procedures that are not supported.

If this is not possible, what approach do other developers use to solve simultaneous development of a watch face and a companion app?

Thanks,

John

Note: Your phone must be running Android 11 or higher and have the Google Play Store installed to use the Wear OS emulator pairing assistant. This tool is only available in the Arctic Fox Canary 14 release.
