Can one property accept web & app data or not? #624

I would like to use cross-device reporting for our apps AND website. We track 
the apps using the SDKs and the website using analytics.js

It seems logical that this can only work if the data from the apps and the 
website is channeled into one property.

I have googled and googled and read and read and I cannot figure out if this is 
possible or not!

It seems to me that the documentation contradicts itself:

"Web data can only be sent to a web property, and mobile app data can only be 
sent to an app property."
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3123666?hl=en

"If you send web and app data for the same property (UA-XXXX-Y), Google 
Analytics will display both sets of data in views (profiles) for that property. 
This allows for combined app and web views."
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/screens

So which is it? Can I send web and app data for the same property or not?!
