Help! I have been struggling for days to get Galaxy Watch Studio to work on my MacBook Pro (running Catalina 10.15.7). Here is the problem:
Goal: Install GWD watch faces on my Galaxy Watch 64mm (SM-R800, running Tizen 5.5.0.1)
Problem:
I try to run a watch face on the watch > Select the watch in the “scan menu” > I get the prompt to create a .tpk since I am transferring a watch face for the 1st time > displays the error (see below)
Steps:
1. GWD Installation: [Solved]
- Dowloaded Galaxy Watch Designer 2.0 for Mac, tried installing
- Issue1: got a Mac error: macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware
-
Solved: In Terminal type
sudo spctl --master-disableand hit Return. Enter Mac’s password when prompted. - Issue 2 : Error message: JAVA 6 required to launch GWD (while it’s way outdated). > Installed JAVA 6 from te link given on the error message to Apple’s website > didn’t want to install (said that I had a much more recent version)
- Solved: installed JAVA JDK instead
2. Watch connection: [Solved]
- Enabled debugging on Watch, switched Wi-Fi to always on > tried connecting
- Issue: GWD couldn’t find it
- Solved: Installed Tizen Studio > Opened Device Manager > Added device > it was recognized (after multiple failed attempts) > Opened GWD > Opened a stock watch face and clicked “Run on Watch” > Galaxy was detected
3. Getting Author and distributor certificates: [Partially Stuck]
- After clicked “run on watch” was prompted to request author certificates
- Issue: After following the prompts it asked for me to login > I logged in > Had a waiting screen and stayed stuck there
- Tried:
- On Tizen Studio > Tools > Package Manager > Extensions SDK > Samsung Certificate Extension. Then Tizen Studio > Tools > Certificate Manager > Add > Samsung (not Tizen) > follow prompts > login > approved author certificate > distributor certificate with DUID populated (because the watch was connected through the device manager) > congratulations screen
- On GWD: > Tools > Author Certificate > I already have a Tizen Author Certificate (entered path of the one generated by Tizen Studio) > Error Message: "An error has occurred, see log [path].log
4. Generating watch face .tpk for the 1st time: [Stuck]
- Back on Galaxy Watch Designer 2.0 > Selected stock watch face > Run on watch > detected watch (because the watch was connected through the device manager, still running) > generate 1st .tpk prompt > filled the form and added a password
-
Issue : Error message: "An error has occurred see [path].log for details > I click OK then GWD crashes everytime
What I tried so far without success: - Uninstalled GWD 2.0, reinstalled it
- Uninstalled GWD 2.0, installed previous version 1.8.1
Can you please help me?
I only watch to design watch faces for my watch (not looking to publish/sell) and it it seems way too difficult for a non-coder (like myself). I had issues every step of the way as you saw above and I am not tech savvy.
Is there a way to make GWD into a web app to solve these version / compatibility / connection issues? After all Facer and WatchMaker have web versions of their watch makers
Thank you !!
System: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
Watch: Galaxy Watch 64mm (SM-R800, running Tizen 5.5.0.1)
