However, when releasing your app to end users, you must package your 70 wearable APK inside of a traditional APK for distribution via a paired phone. 71 72 When end users install this APK onto their phone, the wearable APK will be automatically detected, extracted, and pushed 73 to their any paired wearable devices. 74 75 This sample demonstrates how to properly package a wearable app for release in this manner. The wearable app is inside 76 the `Wearable` directory, and the phone app (which will be used as a container for distribution) is the `Application` 77 directory. There is nothing special about these apps, other than the `wearApp` dependency in the (host) phone app's 78 `build.gradle` file: 79 80 ```groovy 81 dependencies { 82 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:6.5.+' 83 wearApp project(':Wearable') 84 } 85 ``` 86 87 This dependency will automatically package the wearable APK during a **release build** (e.g. using the "Build > Generate 88 Signed APK..." command in Android Studio). Note that this packaging is **not** performed for debug builds for 89 performance reasons. During development, your wearable and phone apps must still be pushed individually to their 90 respective devices using an ADB connection. 91 ]]> 92 </intro> 93 </metadata> 94 </sample> 95
