Apple Watch and Tizen Shared Library

We would like to bring some of the features of the mobile home banking application to the smart watch; we rate Samsung Gear (Tizen) and Apple watch.

Do you know if it is possible to provide a shared library between the two platforms (Tizen, watchOS)?
It will only contain a generic wrapper for the rest of the API, some error handling, and obviously nothing platform specific like the UI.
Something like a generic c / C ++ library designed for each specific platform.

Adding to RzR's comment, there are a few tricky things about this approach. Tizen is moving towards support for Xamarin.Forms which should have a chance to do what you want (see https://developer.tizen.org/development/tizen-.net-preview ). However, I don't know if this support will be planned for the Tizen Wearable profile. Shared (platform-specific) shared library as a whole is not approved by Apple Store and Tizen Store policies, so it will be more difficult to work with. On the other hand, the Tizen web app should work easily with REST, that's the idea behind these ... but can they access any Samsung Gear functionality (as opposed to the general Tizen Wearable functionality) if you need this is a question that will require some research.

I'm not an apple master, but if I remember correctly, iOS only uses static libraries (libfoo.a), but Tizen can use its own shared ones, and that might be TPK related. The Iotivity project supports both, you will find some tips for bundling a shared library:
