It is a debug.apk and not upload google concole. How to convert release.apk?
New versions of projects must be sent to the google console in aab format, not in apk.
Apk version is used in this case to send watch faces to chinese store.
my watch faces are not visible in the google play market application, it says your device is not compatible, but some designers’ watch faces are directly visible in the google play market and sales are made.
when ı upload apk file on google concole it is say: this application package is not valid
As Szewcu72 said:

@FS81 what you do not understand yet, we are trying to explain everything to you for the third time. We only use aab files in the console, not apk files !!!
Why are some designers’ watch faces appearing in google play app? But On the watch faces of some designers, it says your device is not compatible with this version.
I want to tell,Why are some designers’ watch faces appearing in google play app? But On the watch faces of some designers, it says your device is not compatible with this version.

It is quite simple. If the watch face or the application is not marked in the console as software for the Wear OS platform, then by checking it from the account to which such device is assigned, e.g. GW4, such information will be displayed.
If the problem affects your projects, check if you have activated Wear OS in the “Advanced settings” tab in the “Version type” section and made it available for this platform.
It is active for wear os but still the status does not change in google play store
In that case, you have to wait a little longer for it to activate. Sometimes activation takes a day and sometimes several days.
Try to click the link to the watch face or download it a second time without leaving the store. Sometimes it helps.
I am also facing same issue, if you found any solution Please let me know. Thanks
You are not understanding his question. the watchface is already active and opted in for wear OS. What may be a language barrier as english is not our main language.
The point is asked that some developers are using a phone companion app to show their watchfaces when searched in playstore via phone app on playstore. which only informs the user that your purchase has been made now you can download directly from watch playstore.
This creates difference that other wear os developers who do not know how to make a companion phone app for watch face their work is not shown on play store.
This method although if you research further was only used previously for Android Wear 1.0 and when Android wear 2.0 allowed remote install, it was considered obsolete and unnecessary.
But now most developers have again started using this method just to make their watch face name appear in the play store list when searched from devices other than watch playstore itself.
And that gives an advantage to a developer who knows how to rebuild his watch face in android studio instead of Samsung watch face studio
This has happened because of flaws in google play store approach towards search system and installation method for wear os devices is just crap.
By the way the WFS is still miles behind from Tizen watchface studio. dont even compare it .
And its really funny that on the last update Samsung gave new watch faces with much more features like full access to Samsung Health to which WFS has no acccess .
Then in result a consumer craps all over on the face of the developer that "My Stock watch faces are better than your watch faces it has more features.
So instead of polishing Samsung and Google’s apples like some people mostly do. they have to be asked to improve the watch face studio. Its been approx 3 months and the standard is way below tizen.
Watch face studio which is still buggy and lacks proper health features and complications available. Lot of developers i had conversation with are not interested in further development on wear os just because of these reasons.
let me give you an example
The wfs allows you to add fonts but where is the option to remove it.
as a result when you are testing various fonts in a watch face when you build it
all the fonts will appear in the build aab and not removed .I have checked personally the compiled final build apk which when inspected contains all your tested fonts.
it was asked by few developers to add option to remove but after 4 released builds this simple feature was not added.
I have the same problem, i can see my watch face available on web but on phone i cant. But when i clear google play cache and clear data and try again i can see them available.
I have another question, when i install some developers’ watch faces an app also downloading to my phone. in fact not an app only a picture which is saying this is not a phone app select your watch to download it. i didn’t want to put picture here without asking but for example Matteo Dini’s watches just like that which is very helpful. But i don’t know how to do that can anyone describes this how to do ?
