Doesn't the apple watch run a 32bit-on-aarch64 abi?

Apple watch uses a variant of LLVM bitcode as deployment format.

And no, it isn't raw LLVM bitcode.

I was talking about the arch/abi running on the os. Looks like it's called "arm64_32" (maybe it's similar to the linux abi "x32"?)

Xamarin among others ran into a snag but it seems they could retool and convert from armv7k to arm64_32 for example https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/issues/4864
