Fixes #1217

This attempts to fix the issue of the app not installing on WatchOS 8.8.1. As per:

Thanks to a tip from the developers of another app, we found that changing the deployment target of the watch app from watchOS 7 to watchOS 8, allowed the app to be installed on devices running watchOS 8.
Since all devices that supported watchOS 7 also support watchOS 8, this was an acceptable workaround and we have now released an app update with this change.

To test

  1. Run the Pocket Casts Watch App target
  2. ✅ It should run

Checklist

  • I have considered if this change warrants user-facing release notes and have added them to CHANGELOG.md if necessary.
  • I have considered adding unit tests for my changes.
  • I have updated (or requested that someone edit) the spreadsheet to reflect any new or changed analytics.
