Independent Watch app with optional iOS companion

Hi,

I have an independent watchOS application currently in the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ends/id1519994705.

As part of the usage of the application a Scorecard of points is built up as more 'Ends' are played.

What I want to be able to do is sync that information to an iOS device in order that user can print/forward the scorecard after the game if required.

But, what I don't want to do is force the users to download the iOS application if they don't need the additional functionality. They might be happy to just use the watch app, reset it, and lose the data.

Is this possible?

Can I add an additional target to the application that has more advanced iOS functionality, but still allow the user to just download the watch app if they desire? Then maybe get the iOS app later if needed?

I've read the docs, but it's not clear to me.

Thanks,

Mark

you could have the user make an account using sign in with apple but i guess you’d have to maintain accounts on your own server
