Universal App Using Health Kit

I am working on an app that takes advantage of some of the new features in the iOS 8 Health Kit (HK).

The iPad is not currently getting the Health app, so it cannot use HK. Since HK features are not a core part of my app's functionality, I could happily leave them outside the iPad version.

My problem is that there is no way to get a universal app running on iPad after HK rights are added, even if not using HK functionality.

Does anyone know something else? Is there a way (for example) to have separate rights to each device?

Thank!

If you want to use HealthKit, the Framework Reference clearly states that your app should be primarily intended for health or fitness services. If your app is not a health or fitness app, you won't be able to submit your universal app.

Additionally, your app should not access the HealthKit API if the app is primarily intended to provide health or fitness services. Your role as an app as a health and fitness service should be clear in both your marketing text and your user interface. In particular, the following guidelines apply to all HealthKit apps.

Removing healthkit

from Required device capabilities

in my Info.plist solves this problem for me.
