Problems with building a native watch app alongside my flutter app #43731
Description

Fyi @stevemessick.
Actually, I think @pq is our Xcode expert.
This isn't an IDE problem. You can get the same results running from the command line:

🤔- SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS= iphoneos for Profile and Relase should be set in the Runner target, not the Runner project.
-sdk iphoneosor-sdk iphonesimulatorare set on every flutter build command: Support multi-arch iOS binaries #17312. I believe this should already be handled by theSDKROOTbuild setting, but I would need to test this.

This is related to #20392
But not the same issue as #16092.
The problem is not that there is no support for extensions but that an app that has a native watch app alongside it cannot run.
I created a flutter app with an accompanying apple watch app. The watch app is not written in flutter and is added as an extra target in the Runner project.
When I run both the app and the apple watch app from xcode they work fine.
When I try to run the iOS app (not even the watch app) from Intellij I get following error:
error: unable to resolve product type 'com.apple.product-type.watchkit2-extension' for platform 'iphonesimulator'.
This seems to indicate that flutter with IntelliJ always tries to run to the iPhone only, it does not support running to an iPhone simulator with a watch simulator.
Steps to reproduce:
create flutter app
add apple watch target through xcode.
