I have a small WatchKit app with six images on the main interface. When I run the app in my simulator on my machine, the images appear and everything works.
I submitted the app for review and the review was rejected with a screenshot of the app that had no images. I can only guess that the images aren't making it into the archive.
Details:
* I'm working in Xcode 6.3.
"Target Membership" is set for all images to: my app, Extension, and WatchKit App
The images are in the "Supporting Files" directory of the WatchKit App.
I didn't add anything to "Images.xcassets"
All app icons display correctly FWIW
Make sure your images are on the Watch bundle and not on the main app bundle.
As far as I know, you have to set the images that will be displayed on the watch on an Images.xcassets inside the Watch App. Not the Main App nor the Extension.
I have two Images.xcassetsone for main app and one for watch app.

The documents stored in my app show up in the iOS 11 files app under “on my iPhone”. The folders in this directory do have the app icon of the corresponding app on their folder.
This works correctly except for my app. For my app it shows the folder with a placeholder icon image only.
I could not find any documentation about this. The icon assets of my app do contain all available icon sizes for iOS 11.
What do I need to do to show my app icon on the folder in files app?
This was only a hiccup on my testing device. After removing the app completely and installing it again the icon in the files app was displaced correctly as expected.
I'm currently building a WatchOS2 app.
Everything works fine, except that when my app is listed in the MyWatch app on my iPhone, it is displayed without the icon.
I googled a lot, but haven't found any hints on the required icon (size, name, location, ...), or hints on which icon will be used from the MyWatch app.
Thanks for any hints on this.

Upload a 1024*1024 pixel app icon and this website will take care of the rest
Make sure that you are putting your icons ".png" files into the asset catalog in the main watch app folder, not the app "extension" folder. Next, note that the files under "Apple Watch Companion Settings" will be the ones that show up in the Apple Watch app on the paired iOS device. The sizes should be 58px for the 2x and 87px for the 3x. To get the files in the proper location, all you need to do is drag and drop them into your "Assets.xcassets" folder for the Apple Watch app.
As far as getting it to show up on the iOS simulator, I cannot get it to show up either. When I run the same apps on the actual watch and phone though, the icons show up just fine inside of the Apple Watch app on my iPhone.
For more information on Apple Watch icons, check out the human interface guidlines.
I have an app I'm developing. But when my iphone is locked and the push notification goes to the iwatch it doesn't show my app icon. Rather it shows the default app icon. I tried adding the watch app icons to the App Icon file. but it still only shows the default icon when the push notification goes to the iwatch.
Are you sure you put them in the AppIcon in the images.xcassets folder in the WatchKit App target? There are 8 sizes you'll need to supply.
Be sure all the image in the xcassets are in the correct dimension in pixels (be sure no warnings from Xcode). After change or add images in my App I removed the App from iPhone and Watch and reinstall all. Then all icons were OK.
You need to add AppIcon in "WatchKit" Assets.xcassets file. Then remove your old build and install new one. Now you can see app icon.
I had same problem...
All images and assets were correctly in place
I even did a clean build, deleted the watch app and reinstalled it (via Xcode debugger sequence)
But: The app icon still would not show up in the listing or glance
Note..important clue, the icon WOULD show up if I use the simulator.
Fix: After installing the latest and greatest update, REBOOT THE WATCH.
i.e. I held the side button until the Apple Icon reboots
Voila..the icon now appears correctly..go figure..
I am developing my first iWatch App, i added icons for watch app in Image Assets folder of Application.But when i install app in iWatch, then App icon not displaying.
Please find image , which showing app without Icon.
You have to put the correct icons with the correct size not in the iOS App Xcassests but in the WatchApp Xcassetes.
I created a watch app, following Apple's guide lines, but not sure how to run it in the simulator.
When I select the Watch App scheme and run it, the iPhone simulator appears, and I can see WatchKit extension running, dumbing some logs
2014-11-19 13:28:56.991 WatchApp WatchKit Extension[61833:6371439] <WatchApp_WatchKit_Extension.InterfaceController: 0x7b652010> init
2014-11-19 13:28:56.992 WatchApp WatchKit Extension[61833:6371439] <WatchApp_WatchKit_Extension.InterfaceController: 0x7b652010> will activate
But nothing happens on the simulator's screen.
What you run your WatchKit extension, you need to go to Hardware > External Displays and select an Apple Watch (there are two sizes, either works).
After this, you can make changes to your code in Xcode and run it, and the changes will be reflected in the WatchKit simulator without you having to mess with enabling the simulator again.
If your Watch simulator screen appears, but is black, then that means you have not run the correct target from Xcode. Go back to Xcode and select the "xxx Watch App" target, then run the simulator again. Your external display should now show the Watch App.
