Native apps do not load

Yeah everybody PLEASE contact Apple about this issue. I did - I wrote a brief description of my issue and added a link to this thread so they could see other people are experiencing this too and are eagerly trying different solutions without much success

I have exactly the same problem and I have to say, I'm getting pretty frustrated with the Apple Watch. If WatchOS2 wasn't ready, they shouldn't have released it.

Tried restoring my phone from an encrypted backup and unpairing my watch and erasing all setting, but still no luck.

Well, got my 6s Plus and everything works now. Engineering is calling me in 30 minutes though...dunno what I'll say now haha. I guess it depends on what they want to know. I'll definitely stress how serious the issue is though.

Still I say this is weird and based on luck, just got my 6S Plus, restored from iTunes encrypted backup and nope, apps still do not launch. I re-paired twice and still not working...any other ideas??

I agree, pure luck. That said, I am no longer able to help resolve the problem. I talked with engineering and offered to re-pair my watch back to the 5s, but they told me that it would not work to recreate the error (I don't see why not, but I wasn't going to argue with Apple Engineering). So if you still do have this issue, get in touch with an AppleCare Senior Advisor, who will put you in touch with Apple engineering and we can get a real fix! Just because it's working for me doesn't mean I'm satisfied!

Well maybe a little... :p
 
BTW I tried this...

1. Backup your iPhone using iTunes. (I don't know if an encrypted backup is necessary, because my friend didn't do that but I did.)

2. 'Erase All Content and Settings' from Settings app in your iPhone (Do NOT erase using iTunes! I've tried it and it doesn't work!)

3. 'Erase All Content and Settings' on your Apple Watch Settings app.

4. Restore your iPhone from backup using iTunes

5. Pair your iPhone with your Apple Watch.

Did not work. Not even setting it up as new.

Can anyone confirm that it works 100% after setting up as a new phone and not from backup? Or it is still luck?
 
I just set up my Apple Watch as a new device on my new iPhone 6s Plus and native apps do not load, what could possibly be the problem?
 
guys i just got my new iphone 6s and i restored an encrypted backup using itunes (i had an iphone 6 before), long story short, i paired it with my apple watch and native apps still do NOT work even with an iphone 6S, i didnt set up the iphone as a new iphone because i wanted to have all my data from my iphone 6 on my new iphone 6s rather than starting fresh so thats why i restored from an itunes backup that i created yesterday before i sold my iPhone 6 but yeah native apps do not work on watchos 2.0 with my apple watch just like they didn't work with my iphone 6.

Apparently, Apple engineers are aware of the problem and are working on a fix:

I wouldn't put much stock in that article. One, it's factually incorrect with identifying he native apps, two, the only source for all the info seems to be this thread! Yes Apple Engineers are aware of the issue. Because we have made them aware of it!

I mean I'm glad the issue is getting press but until I see it front page on the better known Mac blogs I still think we all need to be contacting Apple.
 
Mistake post..

But agreed, we should all still contact Apple about this issue to make sure they are working hard on it
