Launch companion Watch App without Health Kit
How to launch companion Watch App without relying on Health Kit? I need my companion watch to launch automatically in some specific cases. What I'm doing to achieve that is to call "startWatchApp" in HKHealthStore(). This worked flawlessly for well over a year but AppReview is now giving me a hard time about using HealthKit without actually using health related data. Is there a way to do the same without using HealthKit? Seems silly that this is bundled only with the HealthKit... If I don't find another solution I will probably be forced to start reading heart rate data and reporting it to the user just so that AppReview will stop saying that I have no reason to use HealthKit... But ideally I'd love to learn about a way to open the companion Watch app without HealthKit and do things the right way...
