Add Apple Watch to iOS app that has deployment target IOS 7

Question

When I try to add Apple Watch to my project that support IOS 7+, I get an error that in order to add Apple Watch deployment target should be minimum 8.2 When I checked instagram, it provides Apple Watch support and they support IOS 7 also. How can I add Apple Watch and at the same time run app on IOS 7 devices also.

Answer 1

Your deployment target can be iOS 7.0, but you'll have to build your app using the iOS 8.2 SDK or higher.
