While working in\u00a0Xcode and running my watch app on my\u00a0actual hardware watch for the first time, I ran into this error on my watch the first time: “Failed to install [app], error: Application Verification Failed.” This stack overflow answer provides the solution<\/a>, but I wanted help illustrate the steps I took to fix the error. Disclaimer: this worked for me, but there are probably more optimal ways of fixing the error.<\/em><\/p>\n

  1. In Xcode, get the UDID of your Apple Watch (WIndow > Devices). The UDID is labeled “Identifier” and you can double click on the Identifier device hash to select & copy it.
    \n\"1\"<\/li>\n
  2. Visit the Apple Developer Portal at\u00a0https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/devcenter\/ios\/index.action<\/a> and click on “Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles” in the right sidebar.
    \n\"2\"<\/li>\n
  3. Click on Devices > All in the left sidebar.
    \n\"3\"<\/li>\n
  4. Click on the Plus Sign (+) in the top right.
    \n\"4\"<\/li>\n
  5. In Register Device, provide a Name (whatever you want) and your watch UDID (from step 1 above).
    \n\"5\"<\/li>\n
  6. Submit the form to register your watch device.<\/li>\n
  7. In\u00a0“Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles”, locate your .watchkitextension\u00a0Provisioning Profile for your app. Select &\u00a0download this profile.
    \n\"7\"<\/li>\n
  8. Locate your downloaded profile file on your computer & double click the Provisioning Profile.<\/li>\n
  9. Restart Xcode.<\/li>\n
  10. Build your project and you will encounter a iOS Development Certificate alert.
    \n\"10\"<\/li>\n
  11. Warning, this step\u00a0may be dangerous (proceed at your own risk).<\/strong> This worked for me. Click on “Revoke and Request”. This will revoke your current certificate and request a new one. You will probably get an email notifying you that\u00a0“Your Certificate Has Been Revoked”.<\/li>\n
  12. Run your Xcode project. Your watch app should now load the development build on your actual watch hardware.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
