Tizen (Samsung) apps package as TPK. Important 2026 change: Samsung ended Tizen mobile/wearable app service (Sep 30 2025) and shut the Galaxy Store for Tizen watch/mobile devices in January 2026, so official download/auto-update of TPK apps on Tizen watches is no longer available. Tizen persists mainly in Samsung smart TVs, where the TV app store still auto-updates.

Only the smart-TV browser web app; the Tizen app-store path is effectively dead (2026 shutdown) and the TV interaction model suits WeKan poorly.
