Скачать или смотреть Apple Watch Ultra 3 tunnel connection error in Xcode

In this video, I show how the Apple Watch Ultra 3 struggles to establish a tunnel connection in Xcode during app deployment or debugging. Even with Developer Mode enabled and the watch properly paired to the iPhone, Xcode continues to display “Tunneled connection failed.”

I also test the popular Network Link Conditioner trick and various VPN tunneling methods, but none of them fix the issue for the Apple Watch Ultra 3. The watch simply refuses to create a stable tunnel connection like iPhones or iPads normally do.

However, through repeated connection attempts, I discovered that if you keep trying to connect several times in a row, the tunnel eventually bypasses the error and establishes successfully. It’s not a permanent fix — but it’s a reliable workaround that can get your watch connected long enough to run and debug your app.

This video walks through the full setup, the exact error messages, failed fixes, and the persistence method that finally gets the tunnel to open.
