WatchKit apps must have a deployment target equal to iOS 8.2 (was 8.3)?

I just downloaded Xcode 6.3 beta 4, and my WatchKit app now fails to build with an error:

Embedded Binary Validation Utility Error
error: WatchKit apps must have a deployment target equal to iOS 8.2 (was 8.3)

The iOS app and the project actually have a deployment target of 7.1 and always have, but we've been working with the iOS 8.3 SDK for our WatchKit component (using Swift 1.2) without issue using Xcode 6.3 beta 1, 2 and 3. This error only arose with Xcode 6.3 beta 4.

Anyone else have this error, and know how to fix it?

Solution

  • Select your project settings and go to "TARGETS". Click on your Watch Kit App, select Build Settings. For the key "iOS Deployment Target" you should find "iOS 8.3". For some reason Xcode 6.3 Beta 4 wants to have this on "iOS 8.2" for "Debug" and "Release". Now your project should build as expected.

    This is still true for XCODE 6.3 release!
