Summary:
If you have a WKInterfaceImage in your WatchKit App storyboard, and you set the image name to the prefix of an animated image set, the image does not appear; instead, a question mark appears (though the image animates normally).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an animated image set with image names named sequentially (e.g. loading1.png, loading2.png, etc.).
2. In your WatchKit App storyboard, create a WKInterfaceImage and set its Image property to the prefix of those animated images (e.g. “loading”).

Expected Results:
The image in the storyboard will reflect the image you’ve chosen.

Actual Results:
Although the image has the correct size, it does not display any of the images in the set.

Regression:
Unknown

Notes:
It would be neat if the image actually animated in the storyboard so we could see the animation inline with other UI elements.
