Summary:

While developing/testing watch app localization, I cannot change the language of the simulator watch. While the simulator iPhone & Watch are both running & paired to each other, the phone's Watch app shows "Could Not Connect to Apple Watch". This prevents any further action to update the Watch Language in the simulator. Note: this works as expected on actual hardware (phone & watch).

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run an Xcode scheme with a paired watch & phone.
2. Open simulator phone's Watch app
3. Select 'General'
4. Select 'Language & Region'
5. Select 'Watch Language'
6. The activity indicator will run for a moment.
7. The error "Could Not Connect to Apple Watch" comes up.

Expected Results:

The Watch app proceeds to the next screen & allows the user to select a language for the watch. (This happens & works on actual hardware).

Actual Results:

The error "Could Not Connect to Apple Watch" comes up.
