Describe your question in detail.

I've written a move module named wattswap. I'd like to deploy it using this account address: 0x5e8eb70f6dded49243d274418a8f762e8ad8740a4cd8c770423325ca854c05b4

I've followed every step in the deployment page in the aptos.dev website: https://aptos.dev/en/build/smart-contracts/deployment
I'm able to compile the contract with this address assigned to a named_address called wattswap_addr using the command.

But when I try to deploy it using the next command, I am encountering an API error.

What error, if any, are you getting?

❯ aptos move deploy-object --address-name wattswap_addr
{
  "Error": "API error: API error Error(AccountNotFound): Account not found by Address(0x7e8138da1829b00c1234e26f6f3a80d276da724424608e2cfbdb5a69dc228b55) and Ledger version(88364430)"
}

What have you tried or looked at? Or how can we reproduce the error?

Here is my Move.toml file

[package]
name = "WattSwap"
version = "1.0.0"
authors = []

[addresses]
wattswap_addr = "_"

can you try using the script in this template? https://github.com/0xaptosj/aptos-full-stack-template

in contract dir, run ./sh_scripts/init.sh first to create the account then run ./sh_scripts/deploy.sh

Make sure the account is funded and registered on the network.
If not fund the account by some APT.
