Connect Your Wearable

To publish a Tizen .NET application to the Samsung Galaxy Store, you have to first test your application on Samsung Gear devices. Since Samsung Gear does not have a USB port, Tizen provides support to publish your app to the app store over Wi-Fi.

Therefore, you must connect the Gear device and the host PC to Wi-Fi, or the Unshielded-Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable to the same local network.
