Apple Watch Complication Documentation #998

I feel like LoopDocs is missing an important topic related to installing the Apple Watch complication.

Once you have successfully connected the Apple Watch to Xcode and completed the Build procedure, Loop appears automatically on the phone. However, in the Watch, there is an extra step that you need to do in order to utilize the Complication, and I think it should be added to LoopDocs. Maybe it is already there but insufficiently cross-linked: there seem to be many users who miss this step.

Proposed rough text:
"Once you have successfully connected the Apple Watch to Xcode and completed the Build procedure, you must use the 'Watch' app on the phone to 'Install' the Loop app and complication on the watch.

  1. On the phone, open the Watch app.
  2. Select "My Watch"
  3. Scroll down (quite far) to the "Available Apps" heading.
  4. Find "Loop" on the list and click "Install."

Once Loop is installed on the Watch, you can then make a custom Face with the Loop Complication.

  1. On the phone, open the Watch app.
  2. Select "My Watch"
  3. Under Faces, click on "Modular" and add Loop to one of the larger slots (like Middle).
