likely because you changed the kind string inside of your :widget struct. Go to edit your scheme, and in arguments, change the name of _XCWidgetKind to one of your new kind names. Literally just loaded this fix into my simulator as i typed this lol.

If you have multiple widgets, in my case I have two widget.

  1. Static Configuration widget
  2. Intent Configuration widget

And, when you run your widget extension target, you need to specify which widget you want to run.

Product -> Scheme -> Edit scheme

  1. Enable _XCWidgetKind and provide the wiget struct name [in my case "Selectable_OTP_Extn"]
  2. Enable XCWidgetDefaultView & _XCWidgetFamily

If you have many different widgets in your app, you need to tell Xcode which one you are going to debug, you can't debug all of them at the same time, that's what _XCWidgetKind is for, so add the Class name of your widget works.
