Seconding this - wearos support would be incredibly convenient. I attempted to sideload the normal tailscale app, assuming it'd be a little wonky but work since wearos is just android, and I was able to log in to tailscale. Unfortunately, after sign in it would just consistently crash. (not sure how to get debug logs from the watch, unfortunately.)

What does adb logcat say when it crashes?

[bootstrap-prime]

I'm not sure how to interpret the logs, and the log of the few seconds is rather large (4.8MB). should I load it into a gist and toss a link? (I'm not sure if adb logcat can contain sensitive information)

You're welcome to email a link to support@tailscale.com and reference issue 3972, to keep it out of the public bug.

I think this is it, dlopen failed: library "libgio.so" not found:

[bootstrap-prime]

Is there any other information I can provide to assist diagnosis and fix?

[DentonGentry]

What model is the wearOS device?

I don't immediately know why libgio is missing, it is bundled into the Tailscale app.

[bradfitz]

Probably a missing 32-bit architecture.

Galaxy Watch 4 SM-R860

[DentonGentry]

Galaxy Watch 4 SM-R860

Exynos W920 dual core 1.18 GHz CPU It is an ARM Cortex A55, which is an ARM64 v8.2

[osh91]

I have a Samsung watch pro 5. It would be nice if you guys can do it with a smartwatch.

[DentonGentry]

Samsung Watch Pro 5 uses an Exynos W920, which is a dual Cortex-A55. Cortex-A55 is an arm64.

Even if we sort out why libgio is missing, we'd need a different UI to be functional on a watch form factor.

I think the phone app can "pair" (for lack of a better word) with the watch app. I have e.g. a 2fa authenticator app that automatically picks up all the accounts from the phone version and automagically adds them to the watch app without interaction. This way authenticating a watch could be a lot easier as it would be handled on the phone.

Use case for me:

• homeassistant
• audiobookshelf (audiobooks selfhosted app)

Tbh I agree that the business use case might not be here - I'm not aware of many use cases that could benefit from it - maybe bragging rights ? "The only vpn with a watch app" 😄
