Can I build a watch app in Swift and add it to an iOS app that was not built in swift?

Question

We built our iOS app in RubyMotion. We are just now building our first Watchkit app and would like to do so in Swift/XCode. The watch app that we plan to build is a companion to our iOS app, but it does not need to communicate with the parent iOS app at all.

Is it possible to add a Swift Watchkit app to an existing iOS app that was not built in Swift?

Yes that is possible. Just enter an new target to your project and choose the language SWIFT to your Watch target:

Right, but the iOS app that we have isn't built in XCode. Is it possible to build a completely standalone watch app and then upload that to an existing iOS app in iTunes?

I don't think so. The watch App is embedded in the iOS App and installed by it. How have you built your iOS App?
