Pairing Android Pixel 6 Emulator with Wear OS Emulator: can't install Wear OS app on Tiramisu emulator

Question

I've been trying to follow these instructions for getting these 2 emulators paired in Android Studio: https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/get-started/creating#pairing-assistant

and I was able to get to the point where I finally have Google Play services set up properly via these instructions: How Can I Get Google Play to Work on Android Emulator in Android Studio Bumblebee 2021.x.x.x

Now I'm going through the Wear OS emulator pairing assistant and I'm stuck at the point of needing to install the Wear OS app on the Tiramisu emulator because I get the device incompatible error:

I tried searching around for people with similar errors but I haven't quite gotten anywhere!

Answer 1

Do you have any specific requirements to try with a Pixel 6 emulator?

If not, try selecting a device that already contains Play Store, like the Pixel 4, looking at the "Play Store" column in the dialog below:

I had no issues installing the Wear OS app with this device.
