My Watch app builds and runs fine when I launch it through Xcode 7 (beta 4) on the Watch, but when I try to launch the app on the Watch by tapping on its icon, it never launches and shows the spinning circle for ~1 minutes and then goes back to the watch-face.

Ran into the same issue. Solution found here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/9607
- Run app on device from xcode. Wait for loading daisy on watch
- Force quit app before the app finishes loading. (Hold friends button until power options displays, then hold friends button again until app closes.)
- Stop debugging on Xcode
- exit xcode (do not reboot/restart xcode)
- run app on watch. It should run now.
- if this does not work start from step 1 again.

1The first time I tried this solution it didn't work. The trick for me was to make sure I force quit the application before it finished loading (while the loading daisy was still on the screen). – Erik Storo Jul 28 '15 at 23:00

You are right. Force-quit before loading is finished is key. It works now. – RawMean Jul 28 '15 at 23:05

Please make sure you file a radar at http://bugreport.apple.com about this, including all available logging that you have. – Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia Jul 28 '15 at 23:39

This seems to work exactly once. That is, if you follow this procedure, tapping on the watch app launches your app once. But, you wouldn't be able to re-launching on the watch more than once until you follow the same process. For the 4th beta, this is pretty lame. – RawMean Jul 29 '15 at 06:46

I'm experiencing the same problem. It works for me now. Was driving me nuts. Thanks – Nico S. Aug 02 '15 at 16:42

This doesn't work with beta 5 anymore. What's going on with Apple? – RawMean Aug 08 '15 at 06:37

lol, I'm getting this problem in the production version, 8.1. It took me way longer than it should have to display "Hello, World!". – toast Nov 03 '16 at 00:23
