A similar question came up recently.
While some objects (e.g. NSNumber) things should be binary compatible. But you may run into issues.
Also depends upon what objects you are coding. Mac OS X uses NSColor whereas iOS uses UIColor.
I would recommend using an intermediate normalized format instead. Then write independent code for each platform.
If archiving colors, capture normalized values like color mode (ARGB, HSL), color components, etc. Then, rebuild up objects as needed.
For text data, I would use UTF-8 with the original text being normalized.
