Can you please attach the IDE.log after trying to debug:

[onurhazar]

This issue is important. I am not able to debug on neither device nor simulator for watchos 6. We can't resolve problems without debugging efficiently. We are developing a professional product for a professional customer with a professional tool (Visual Studio for Mac). Please help us for finding a workaround or something if this is not going to be fixed for a long time.

Note: I set i386 as supported architecture in watchOS Build project settings because 64bit is still not supported which is another problem.

I understand the frustration, but as I requested before we need the IDE.log to see what's going on.

[rolfbjarne]

Debugging on a real Apple Watch Series 5 device is only supported in the upcoming 13.8 release (d16-4), which is currently in the alpha and beta channels (ref: #7012).

@rolfbjarne @chamons
I attached the IDE.log. I am trying to debug an old version of apple watch sim (series 3 38mm watchos 4.2) and couldn't even debug this one with the latest version of xamarin ios. I don't want to downgrade my whole environment everytime for a reason that's not working. Any workaround would be well appreciated. Thanks!

@onurhazar please file a new issue and attach your information there, since your issue is not related to the original reporter's (you have a problem with debugging in the simulator, he had a problem with debugging on device)
