Can't install watchOS (Watch 1.0 apps are no longer installable)

[uderline]

Hi, this is my first issue on Nativescript, sorry if I forgot anything and I hope this is the right place, thanks.

Environment

• CLI: 8.0.2
• Cross-platform modules: 8.0.8
• Android Runtime: -
• iOS Runtime: 8.0.0
• XCode Version: 12.5.1
• Plugin(s): -

Describe the bug I'm unable to install an iOS Apple Watch app added to an existing nativescript iOS app. When I run the app on the watch, the build is successful but I get this message:

Please try again later.
WatchKit 1.0 apps are no longer installable on this watchOS version.

To Reproduce This bug is reproducible using a blank "Hello world" project.

ns create helloworld --ng
ns build ios

Then, open the .workspace. file, new target > Watch App for iOS App. Then,

Expected behavior The app should show up on the emulator.

Additional context When I click on "Details" of the error, this is what I get:

System Information

macOS Version 11.4 (Build 20F71)
Xcode 12.5.1 (18212) (Build 12E507)

All this is based on this article: https://blog.nativescript.org/developing-a-watchos-extension-for-your-nativescript-app/ .

After looking on StackOverflow, it seems like (unrelated to Nativescript), this error can happen even if it has noting to do with the version code.

I tried changing different options based on SO answers but each time, I get this error. I also tried with a native HelloWorld project (i.e. not Nativescript), and it worked without any issue.

Thanks for your help,

@uderline Did you get any further with this? I was trying the same and I am getting the same errors.
