Feature Request: WatchKit equivalent for MPVolumeView

Product:iOS Product Version:8.3 (12F70)
Classification: Reproducible:
 
Summary:
With only using current non-deprecated API there is no way to set the application volume from a WatchKit app.
This is really annoying for media player applications since without using deprecated API the user would have to switch to the Now Playing glance to adjust the volume on the phone.

So we either need a WatchKit equivalent for MPVolumeView or a public API to set the music volume.

Steps to Reproduce:
-

Expected Results:
-

Actual Results:
-

Version:
iOS 8.3 (12F70), Watch OS 8.2 (12S507)

Notes:
A current workaround could be to use the deprecated MPMusicPlayerController API:
-[MPMusicPlayerController setVolume:]

Configuration:
iPhone 6, Apple Watch Sport 42mm
