WearOS + iPhone messaging

WearOS is marketed by Google as being compatible with both Android and iPhones, however I can find no way to have the iPhone programatically send data to (and from) a WearOS application (like is possible on Android)

For example, in my WearOS standalone app I can use Wearable.MessageApi to send data messages to the corresponding Android application (receiving with a MessageApi.MessageListener)

On iOS, how can I achieve the same messaging as with the Android? I have searched around everywhere and cannot find anything (apart from Google's implication in their marketing) that this is even possible at all
