I've gotten a LOT of reports from TestFlight testers that my latest builds — my first ones made with Xcode 16 beta — are uninstalling the Watch app, or failing to launch it with error dialogs about phone connectivity.

My Watch app is unchanged and still set to require watchOS 10+.

Any other devs running into this? Is there a fix? I'm afraid to submit an App Store build next week like this…

@marcoarment We’ll have a look. I filed this yesterday.

@lorihc @marcoarment I experienced this behaviour on iOS 17.6.1 and watchOS 10.6.1.

The Watch app was uninstalled automatically when the latest TestFlight build installed.

I manually turned “Show App on Apple Watch” back on in TestFlight, but trying to launch the Watch app gives the message “Overcast Requires iPhone App”.
