Yep. Same if you mention in your app that it's also available on Android. Fascist? Yes. Surprising? No. New? Certainly not.

  Other comments seem to indicate that this previously wasn't an issue for Pebble support. From a consumer perspective, I can see Apple's argument that mentioning Android support doesn't matter because the app running on Android has no bearing on whether it works on your iOS device or not. But for something like a wearable, that's absolutely information I want as a consumer. To me, it's much closer to an app being able to say whether they support BTLE heart rate monitors or not. It's something that interfaces directly with the device. I suspect the actual reason Apple is suddenly expanding what it considers a mobile platform is that it's a preemptive strike against Android Wear support for iOS.

  There's a pretty big difference between "we also have a version of this app available for Android" and "this iOS app, right here, the one you're looking at and downloading, supports Pebble." Apple saying you can't advertise other versions of your product is slightly dickish but totally understandable. Apple saying you can't advertise features of your iOS app because they happen to involve competing products is completely unreasonable.
