Answer 3

I encountered this issue on iOS 14 Beta, resolved by restarting the device.

Answer 4

I faced the same issue. I found, that in the Build Settings (of extension target) field Wrapper Extension was empty, while it should be assigned as "appex". Assigning "appex" to Wrapper Extension solved my problem.

Answer 5

For anyone having the same problem and not finding a solution, worth trying also to check "Deployment Target" of the extension.

It can be different that the main app and is setup by default when the extension is created.

In my case it was higher than what I had on my device.
