I list the steps that are needed so that you can quickly look up when you need it.

-connect your watch with the app
-go to "Advance Settings"
-enable "Debugging over Bluetooth"

Wear:
-go to Settings -> System -> Info -> click 10 times on "Build Number"
-after that you are a Developer
-go to Settings -> Developer Options -> enable "ADB-Debungging" and "Debugging over Blutetooth"

Now Compile your App in Release mode.

adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub

adb connect 127.0.0.1:4444

Hi Alexander,

everthing worked fine but I cannot find "Debugging over Bluetooth" In the "Advance Settings"of Wear OS

After installation the app on smart watch tries to update Wear OS and hangs up.

Do have an idea how to fix?

Hi,
could find the problem. The google play services app on smart watch was not updated ( version 8.X.X).
I could update to version 17.X.X than everthink worked perfect.
