Watch has no "developer mode" in any menu for watch, can't install loop on watch. about loop

I had a similar issue and it was due to a missing consent to new agreements of the developer program. Could you try to refresh your developer certificate in Xcode settings? Maybe log out your developer account in Xcode and login again. I’m my case I had then to accept new agreements and finally was able to enable the developer mode on the watch.

Will try that! I saw that as a solution and did accept a bunch of agreements - will try to figure out how to refresh developer certificate!

All you need to do is have your Apple Watch unlocked, plug in your iPhone, then instead of clicking play on LoopWorkspace, you click play under "WatchApp". This should trigger various prompts on your watch including wireless connection and enabling developer mode as-well. Hope this helps!

Thanks for this! Are you referring to the below? Mine only shows Pause and when I pause then play nothing happens on the watch. Am I looking in the right spot?

Small update - tried to manually add the watch to my developer profile unfortunately since I can't get the watch to pull up on Xcode anyway, I can't get the UDID. I was able to get the extra app to appear on the watch, however I can't open it and get the below message when I click on it to open.

Trying the above suggestion didn't make any difference for me, I think the issue is access to developer mode/connectivity to xcode over the watch app not actually building but I'm not sure if that assumption is correct based on what the other user posted.

There were some issues with watch connectivity throughout the past few weeks. However, upgrading to Xcode 15.4 RC, iOS 17.5 RC, and watchOS 10.5 RC so far have seemed to fix it for me.

so I was due for upgrades on both fronts and set up a new watch as a "new watch" and I am having no issues - perhaps the old one was haunted beyond repair? Never tried to erase all content and settings but I did repair several times.
