Ok, will learn about command prompt.

No matter how much they want to tout macOS or Windows they are all basically built on UNIX and will take command line tasks.

in Windows search window type command prompt and open it.

Using File manager navigate to
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\WatchFaceStudio\tools\window (adb should either be there or a similar folder you installed Watch face Studio into)

copy the address where you installed adb. (copy the address from file manger using right click on the address bar)

From command prompt
Type cd and paste the address to be to the proper folder i.e.
cd C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\WatchFaceStudio\tools\window
type
adb connect 192.168.x.x:5555 (where 192.168.x.x is your watch’s IP address)

If you get an error message something is wrong but usually it loads pretty fast.

hello, ron
Your answer is very helpful. Thank you
I have a question about key certificates.

  1. If I format the certificate on my PC or if I lose it, can you generate a new certificate key?

2.When updating an existing WFS, can I update it after building a WFS with a new certificate?

From what I’ve seen right now, it seems that when updating an existing WFS, you can’t update the new certificate. But when I create a new app it seems to work

Thank you for your reply.

This Play Store Guide may help you Use Play App Signing - Play Console Help
Basically there is a certificate that Play Store uses that tells who you are and if you lose this you can’t modify any app you’ve uploaded to the store. (You can however create a new one for a different app).
Then there is a certificate that you just use to install on your watch if you have developer options turned on. If this one is corrupted or you need a new one it is no big deal, just create a new one.
