Summary:
Data returned from the CMPedometer and CMPedometerData classes return a step count based only on steps from the M7 and M8 motion co-processors.  When an Apple Watch is connected these APIs should smartly pool step data contributed by the Apple Watch (as the Health app appears to).

Many apps (Pedometer++, FitBit, Moves, etc) use the CMPedometer classes to track and report a user's step count, however CMPedometer is no longer providing a full and complete picture of all of the available data.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Pair an Apple Watch to an iPhone.
2. Record various steps by moving around with the Apple Watch but without the iPhone.

Expected Results:
The step count returned by CMPedometer is higher than before the new steps, as it smartly pools steps recorded by the Apple Watch into the returned total.

Actual Results:
The step count returned by CMPedometer remains unchanged, as the iPhone was not on the user's person to record the steps.
