I updated my IntentWidgetProvider recommendations() to return an empty array instead of all my previous static IntentRecommendation to allow my widgets to finally be configurable.

When I go to the watch widget chooser I see samples of my widgets OK:

But when I touch the sample would should bring up my configurations, I get "Unable to Load":

Anybody see this or have any ideas? Thanks.

I am assuming there is a bug in handling .intentdefinition files on watchOS vs iOS/iPadOS. I am going to migrate all my widget configuration to code-based WidgetConfigurationIntent.
