Game won't open (Gear S2)
I managed to develop part of my game to smartwatch (I'm currently using a Gear S2 for testing). I created the certificates and then did the build and run to the smartwatch after connecting it to my computer (following the steps Unity provides to do so).
The app shows up in the watch, but once I click it, nothing happens. It gets highlighted for a couple seconds, and nothing happens, then it just let me navigate through my apps again. The game works on emulator, though.
I read some people saying it has to do with Unity version, but I'm using 5.6.0p3 which I read that should work fine.
I have no idea of what I'm doing wrong because I get no erros both in the watch and Unity when building the game. Any help would be appreciated.
Also tested with 5.4, nothing =(

Hey,
This is likely due to the dropped support for Tizen 2.3 which I thought should still be available on Unity 5.4.
I got Gear S3 ( SM-R760 ) which has Tizen 2.3.2.3 in it. There is no update available for Tizen 2.4 yet for the Gear S2 or S3.
After successful Unity build, the app gets uploaded and installed to the Gear S3 but when launched there is an error which can be seen through the TizenStudio log: `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found.
Apparently Unity 5.5 and forward uses GCC4.9 while Tizen 2.3 needs GCC4.6. Solution would be to use Unity versions which still support Tizen 2.3 but the issue then comes when submitting the game to the Tizen store as the earlier Unity versions have bugs which result the Tizen store submissions to fail.
Currently it seems like it's not possible to use Unity if the game is aimed for wearable Tizen device until the wearables get update to Tizen 2.4.
I could be wrong but haven't found solution yet. It would be greatly appreciated if someone knows solution to this.
