With the release of iOS 9 presumably around the corner, I am prepping my company's iOS app for submission. Sadly however, I am unable to release the WatchOS 2 app that is currently being developed at the same time as the iOS app. Mostly due to the lack of WatchOS 2 beta updates and several WatchOS 2 bugs that my team won't have time to be test throughly before release.

What is the best/recommended way to build an iOS app for archving but not include the WatchKit app and WatchKit extension without having to delete my WatchApp and Watch Extension targets. I started to look at doing this with a Build Scheme however I noticed that my iOS target has some Build Phases and Target Dependencies to the WatchApp that I would ideally like to not have to delete and re-add.

Any advice, suggestions or tutorials would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

If you/your team hasn't been developing the watchOS 2 in a separate source code control branch to avoid "polluting" the master branch then your best bet is to create a new release branch and remove the watchOS 2 targets in the branch. Release from there and continue your main development in the main branch.
