Yes, it will work.

It's actually quite trivial from a technical standpoint. The reason it hasn't been done before is because vendors want to lock you into their ******** 'ecosystems'.
From a designer's point of view, no it won't work. UI differences have to be taken into account or you set yourself up for a big failure and disappointed users. Even Android is struggling with that, and it's fragmentation is minimal to what we are talking about here.
