Add watchOS app information

watchOS

You can use watchOS 6 SDK to create apps for Apple Watch. These can be either iOS apps with a watchOS app or watchOS-only apps.

To prepare watchOS apps for distribution on the App Store, simply add an iOS app to App Store Connect, then add additional information specific to your app.

Make sure your description includes the app’s functionality on Apple Watch. You also need to provide screenshots for Apple Watch and an app icon. Your screenshots and icon will be reviewed by App Review after you submit your new app version.
