Crashlytics / Fabric distribution kit for iOS app with Watch-up support?

Question

Of course, I am missing something obvious here, but no matter where I looked, I did not find anything to help me here, so I will try:

I am developing an application (obj-c) in which I integrated the Fabric / Crashlytics framework and distribute my testers through the fabulous Fabric website. This worked flawlessly for many, many versions. Now I have added AppleWatch compatibility to my application through WatchKit integration. Everything is working fine.

But distribution through Fabric to my beta testers just won't work anymore; The distribution website says: "You are all set up now. As soon as the new assembly is ready ..." and in the section "Previous versions" the entire version, including WatchKit, is marked as "Not Available". Older versions are available for installation, though ...

I suspect that something is wrong with the provisioning profiles enabled, but they are all set up as they should - fe all devices registered in all profiles, separate profiles for the clock application and extensions - and archives are created without errors or warnings. They even get tested by the AppStore. But no luck getting these versions for my beta testers ...

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

As of the current date, it still looks like WatchKit Apps and Extensions cannot be distributed by Fabric. The Documentation fabric does not apply to WatchKit, WatchOS, or Apple Watch in general, and the current only significant discussion on the developer forums , from about five months ago, states that this was not possible at that time.
