Unable to set Express Transit when unlocking Apple Watch with iPhone
There’s a bug in the express transit logic when the watch is set to unlock with the iPhone (instead of unlock with the passcode)
I can add a card and set it for express travel *right after resetting the watch*.
After that initial time has passed, the express setting can only be disabled.
Every time I try to set it up to a card the settings go in a loop of requesting the passcode (even though it is not in use) and throwing an error. Instead, it should use FaceID on my iPhone to confirm it’s me (because that is the method to unlock the watch).
Resetting the watch every time is not an acceptable solution.
Disabling the “unlock with iPhone” and switch to passcode is not an acceptable solution (it is less secure and it would force me to remove the work profile and all my work apps).
Many people have this issue, it comes up every year and no one gets a satisfactory answer.
I spent hours submitting debug and logs, but nothing changes.
