How to connect to my phone from a wearable?

Question

I am trying to send some message from my wearable to my phone, following instructions from here: https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/data-layer/messages

Before sending a message, I am trying to look up my phone with following line: Wearable.getCapabilityClient(this).getAllCapabilities(CapabilityClient.FILTER_REACHABLE);

Unfortunately no capabilities are returned, so I can't send a message. I made sure both devices share the same Wifi, to add the wear.xml, and attach a CapabilityClient to the phone app. And I am running the phone app before trying to make the lookup on the watch. No success...

So now I am running out of ideas. Any hints?

Can you check if the answer [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25413162/) applies to your situation? — ReyAnthonyRenacia, Jul 26 '18 at 07:24
@noogui I was hoping to send a message, but will try the data layer approach... — stoefln, Jul 26 '18 at 08:33

Found my mistake: Didn't use the same signing config for wearable and handheld
