HealthKit: save samples of type HKCategoryTypeIdentifierAppleStandHour

I try to get authorization to save samples of type HKCategoryTypeIdentifierAppleStandHour:

var healthKitTypesToRead: Set<HKObjectType> = Set<HKObjectType>()
var healthKitTypesToWrite: Set<HKSampleType> = Set<HKSampleType>()
healthKitTypesToWrite.insert(HKSampleType.categoryTypeForIdentifier(HKCategoryTypeIdentifierAppleStandHour)!)
...
healthStore.requestAuthorizationToShareTypes(healthKitTypesToWrite, readTypes: healthKitTypesToRead) { 
    (success: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in

    if let error = error {
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),{
            print ("success: \(success), error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
        })
    }
}

when I'm running this code, I get the exception

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', 
reason: 'Authorization to share the following types is disallowed:
HKCategoryTypeIdentifierAppleStandHour'

Am I doing something wrong or is Apple really prohibiting writing samples of this type?

Tested with (iOS 9.0 and iOS 9.1) and XCode 7.1

Edit iOS 9.3/watchOS 2.2 adds functionality but not this one

Apps are not permitted to save samples with the HKCategoryTypeIdentifierAppleStandHour type. Apps may only query for existing stand hours already stored in HealthKit by the Apple Watch.
