Can't Simulate Watch App

Can't Simulate Watch App

evmd 1

Running Visual Studio Mac 17.3.5. I am trying to simulate a watchOS app. I cannot get mine or the example Xamarin example below working. I don't have build issues. It just says execution failed after building, and I don't have any other output I can see. Anyone have any information or how to start troubleshooting this?

Hi @evmd , I did a test via VS for Mac 2019 and VS for Mac 2022, I got a "HE0046" error via VS2019. For further investigation, could you provide the detailed environment information( the Xcode version, the simulator information, on M1 machine or not )?

XCode version is 13.3. Not on an M1 Machine. I've tried this on WatchOS 8.5 simulators. Xamarin.iOS, version 15.12.0.2.
