68Wearable apps can be installed directly onto Android Wear devices during development, using either a direct ADB
69connection or ADB-over-Bluetooth. However, when releasing your app to end users, you must package your
70wearable APK inside of a traditional APK for distribution via a paired phone.
71
72When end users install this APK onto their phone, the wearable APK will be automatically detected, extracted, and pushed
73to their any paired wearable devices.
74
75This sample demonstrates how to properly package a wearable app for release in this manner. The wearable app is inside
76the `Wearable` directory, and the phone app (which will be used as a container for distribution) is the `Application`
77directory. There is nothing special about these apps, other than the `wearApp` dependency in the (host) phone app's
78`build.gradle` file:
79
80```groovy
81dependencies {
82    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:6.5.+'
83    wearApp project(':Wearable')
84}
85```
86
87This dependency will automatically package the wearable APK during a **release build** (e.g. using the "Build > Generate
88Signed APK..." command in Android Studio). Note that this packaging is **not** performed for debug builds for
89performance reasons. During development, your wearable and phone apps must still be pushed individually to their
90respective devices using an ADB connection.
