MPMusicPlayerController on watchOS

Hi, I’m looking at using MusicKit in my watchOS app however I don’t seem to have any method of being able to play the audio though the recommended use of MPMusicPlayerController since it isn’t available on watchOS. This method works fine for iOS and iPadOS but not watchOS which seems bizarre considering we have full access to MusicKit but no way to actually play any audio.

I’m trying to build an app that includes Apple Music through MusicKit but don’t have any way to actually play the audio. Is there a technical reason for this and if so is there any other way to play audio from MusicKit on watchOS.

The docs for MPMusicPlayerController can be found here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mediaplayer/mpmusicplayercontroller
