Packaging separate wear apks for android wear 1.x and 2.0
I am attempting to create a standalone Android Wear app for 1.x and 2. I followed the steps on the android developer page, but users say the wear apk isn't automatically installing on their 1.x watch. The mobile app has the same permissions. This is only here to get the wear apk to install. There are no activities on the mobile app.
Do I need to package the wear app in my mobile app? From what I read this shouldn't be done even for 1.x.
Here is a preview of what my apks look like in the developer console:

[Edit] I had to update to include complication permissions and remove the watch feature on the mobile app to get it to upload to the play store. Some users report it is installing, but others can't get it to work.
Solution
Your assumption is correct, you should not embed the wear APK inside the phone APK (this was the old way of doing it). However, you still need to publish the phone APK.
There are only 2 APKs in your screen shot. There should be 3 in total: phone APK for AW 1.x, wear APK for AW 1.x, and wear APK for AW 2.x.
Make sure that the AW 2.0 APK has the highest version code, followed by the AW 1.x watch APK, and finally the AW 1.x phone APK.
Note that that the wearAppUnbundled true flag (in your phone gradle file) is only needed if you've previously published an AW 1.x app with an embedded wear APK (but it shouldn't hurt to include it otherwise).
