Wear OS Build Configuration Summary
Date: January 27, 2026
Status: ✅ Ready for Development
What’s Been Set Up
1. Annotation Processing Migration ✅
- From: KAPT (deprecated, had NullPointerException bug with SavedStateHandle)
- To: KSP (modern, recommended by Google)
- Files Changed:
build.gradle.kts- Added KSP plugin v1.9.24-1.0.20wear/build.gradle.kts- Replaced KAPT with KSP for Hilt compilation
2. Compilation Errors Fixed ✅
All compilation errors resolved:
- ✅ SavedStateHandle removed from ViewModels (KAPT bug workaround)
- ✅ WearMediaFile constructor calls fixed
- ✅ NetworkSourcesUiState duplicate removed
- ✅ Missing composable branches added to NetworkSourcesScreen
3. Android Studio Run Configurations ✅
Created two production-ready configurations with Wear OS as default:
| Configuration | Location | Build Type | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
wear [Debug] |
.idea/runConfigurations/wear__Debug_.xml |
Debug | Fast iteration, debuggable | ✅ Yes |
wear [Release] |
.idea/runConfigurations/wear__Release_.xml |
Release | Production, optimized | - |
Default Behavior:
- Wear OS [Debug] is set as the startup module in
.idea/runConfigurations.xml - When you click Run in Android Studio, it automatically runs Wear OS
- Can be changed anytime using the run configuration dropdown or
select-wear-module.ps1script
4. Module Selection Setup ✅
Added interactive module selection:
- Script:
scripts/select-wear-module.ps1- Interactive module selector - Documentation:
docs/MODULE_SELECTION.md- Complete guide for switching modules - Default: Wear OS is pre-configured as the primary module
- Configuration:
.idea/runConfigurations.xml- Specifies which module runs by default
5. Build Scripts ✅
Already available in scripts/:
build-wear-debug.PS1- Quick debug buildbuild-wear-release.PS1- Release build with version bumpselect-wear-module.ps1- Interactive module selection
6. Documentation ✅
Comprehensive guides created:
| Document | Path | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| WEAR_OS_QUICK_START.md | docs/WEAR_OS_QUICK_START.md |
Get started in 5 min |
| WEAR_OS_SETUP.md | docs/WEAR_OS_SETUP.md |
