Apple Watch Logs and Debugging

Developing a standalone app for the Apple Watch.

  1. Unless I turn off Bluetooth on the paired iPhone, the Apple Watch’s Wi-Fi deactivates every ~30 seconds, which causes the connection to Xcode to drop. How is this supposed to work?

  2. I can see my app’s logs in Xcode, but I can’t view any other system logs from the Apple Watch. I tried using the Console app, with the iPhone connected via USB, trusted, etc, but I don't see any system logs. How can I access full system logs?

Thanks!

I'd suggest that you file a feedback report for each issue – If you do so, please share your report ID here for folks to track.

You can retrive the whole system log on an Apple Watch by capturing a sysdiagnose, as described here, though this obviously isn't as convenient as the live streaming in Console.app.

Best,
