I have an independent watchOS app, and I am a partner of the related iOS app. This means the IOS app can give me its bundle ID.

So, here is the question: If I want my watchOS app be listed under the iOS app store page.

Do I only need my bundle ID to be associated with the iOS project ?

Is it necessary for the watchOS project and the iOS project to be in the same project?

Yeah, when you create an independent watchOS app and an iOS companion app (see TN3157 for the terminology), the watchOS app will be embedded into the iOS app bundle and be code-signed together. Unless you figure out a way to create the iOS app bundle and make sure it has the right structure, content, and code signature, you will need to put the two targets in one project and let Xcode do all that.

Additional note: There is no data interaction between the two apps; I just want them to be in the same title of iOS App Store.
