Moto 360 (2nd Gen) Cant install Apps through ADB.



I have been attempting to find compatible apps that are intended only to work on Android Phones and Install them on the android wear device. I recently Have came across a Moto 360 2nd Gen. and a Samsung Galaxy S4. With this setup I am not able to install any apps. What I Do is I forward ADB to the watch with

Code:


adb forward tcp:4444 localabstract:/adb-hub

and then I connect to it with

Code:


adb connect localhost:4444

. Now to run a command I usually use

Code:


adb -e <command>

. Now with my setup when I run the command (for example)

Code:


adb -e install myapp.apk

it just hangs on an empty line, I cant type and the only way to stop it is to

Code:


Ctrl+C

. I let it sit for about 2 hours (the app I was trying at the time was 12.81MB) and Nothing changed. I read somewhere that it took them about 10 minutes to install an app to the watch through Bluetooth, but they claimed (Did not work for me) that if you install and app called "Task Manager" and pressed "Close all apps" it would almost instantly install the apps. If more info is need I can provide it.
