Description

I have developed a simple Apple Watch app that I can install on my Watch using Xcode but when trying to install via AltStore it gives an "unknown error".
Does AltStore support Apple Watch apps and extensions resigning?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the unknown error with the Apple Watch app installed through Xcode and then through AltStore. Inspect the app-signing and installation paths for handling of Watch apps and extensions; done would mean confirmed support with successful installation, or a documented limitation if they are unsupported.
