Can Mixpanel be used natively on watchOS 2.0?

Question

I have a watchOS 2.0 app that I want to track events with in Mixpanel. I'm using the Mixpanel pod version 2.8.3. In an earlier released they introduced support for App Extensions, including WatchKit.

My podfile looks like this:

target 'Elevate', :exclusive => true do
 platform :ios, '8.0'
 ...
 pod 'Mixpanel', '~> 2.8.3'
 ...
end

target 'Dash 2 Extension', :exclusive => true do
 platform :watchos, '2.0'
 xcodeproj 'griffin.xcodeproj'
 pod 'Mixpanel/AppExtension"
end

But Xcode says it doesn't contain platform 'watchsimulator' in its SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS 'iphonesimulator, iphoneos'

After trying to fork mixpanel-iphone and adding support for watchOS 2 myself as described by Cocoapods, I've decided that it wasn't worth it. They have too many dependencies on UIKit.

Instead I intend to send a message for each event to my iPhone App using WatchConnectivity and then track the events from the iPhone App.

I hope Mixpanel adds native support for watchOS 2 soon.
