When I display 2/3 of the poster on tvos, after setting it according to the code, some semi-transparent background can be seen in the upper left and right corners of the image when it is in focus. How can I eliminate it? struct HighPosterView: View { let media: MediaDetail @State private var isShowingDetails = false @Environment(\.isFocused) private var isFocused: Bool var body: some View { Button { isShowingDetails.toggle() } label: { HighShelfImageView(imageURL: media.posterURL) .contentShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 24, style: .continuous)) .hoverEffect(.highlight) Text(media.displayTitle) .lineLimit(1) .font(.subheadline) .frame(maxWidth: 300) } .buttonStyle(.borderless) .animation(.smooth) } } struct HighShelfImageView: View { let imageURL: URL? var body: some View { KFImage.url(imageURL) .targetCache(ImageCacheManager.shelfCache) .setProcessor(ImageCacheManager.mediaListShelfProcessor) .placeholder { Color.primary.opacity(0.1) .cornerRadius(Constants.cornerRadius) } .cancelOnDisappear(true) .cacheMemoryOnly(false) .fade(duration: 0.1) .cacheOriginalImage(true) .resizable() .aspectRatio(2/3, contentMode: .fill) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: Constants.cornerRadius)) } } I need to keep the image and text distributed vertically, keep customize corner, with the text pushed aside when the image is in focus.

I have an Apple TV 4k 3rd gen 128gb model connected to a downstream device that is compatible with all surround sound formats except object-based ones like DTS:X, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos MAT2.0 . However, I would still like to have the highest possible audio output from the Apple TV 4k and not have to downgrade to the lossy Dolby 5.1 or stereo options when playing back content with Atmos audio (only that is affected since all other non-object-based audio is output without any problems since the problem arises from the MAT2.0 encoding for Atmos content which my downstream device is not able to decode). Please let me know if I missed a setting that can resolve my problem and otherwise please either consider adding the option or including me in the closed beta for the Apple TV OS26 since I heared that an option for audio-passtrough is in the works. Many thanks already in advance!

I want to create movie recommendation app with ability to instantly watch selected movie in Apple TV app. As it is possible to share link to content in Apple TV app I wonder can I use it in my own app? I mean something like movie page with description and button "Watch in Apple TV" that open Apple TV app. Is it allowed or not?

tvOS 26 rolls out the feature to set every AirPlay speaker as permanent in the settings. Is there a possibility to setup eARC like with the HomePods for other devices connected to a TV or will this stay a HomePod only feature?

Hey, I have AirPlay speakers that I want to use as permanent speakers on my Apple TV. It is possible since tvOS 26. I want to delete the delay from the connection to the speakers and tried out the wireless audio calibration, but then the TV speakers go on and it only works there, not on the speakers. Does anyone have a solution?

Hello there I have got into a bit of an issue with the Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen with Ethernet . So I installed the iOS 26 beta to try out the new changes I usually do this on Apple TVs but in this case it has a bug where my apple music randomly skipped to the next songs . So after some bit of reading I got to know that the apple TV as a recovery mode which could be accessed by pressing home and pause/play buttons . After getting there I was required to bring an iPhone close to start the recovery process which I did but somehow that process always failed I tried to plug in the Ethernet cable since my apple TV is literally 3-5 inches away from my main router I even tried the recommended option of switching to a 2.4ghz connection but nothing worked . I would think that by apple getting rid of the USB ports on these things they had a reliable method of recovery in case of error because these are computers they are bound to fail at some point . So for now am stuck with a boot looping apple TV without a port and I don't even know how that too came about since the recovery process barely starts and fails. Ps am in Africa where we have no apple stores so we usually deal with our products ourselves

App includes a functionality based on each Timezone. As i have fetched some of the Timezone values got some mismatched values compared to actual. e.g: America/Denver values is -6 but got -5 Need support regarding fixing this issue.

I'm working on a media app that would like to be able to tell if the TV connected to tvOS is running at 59.94hz or 60.00hz, so it can optimize a video stream. It looks like the best I can currently do is to check if the user has Match Content Rate enabled, and based on that, when calling displayManager.preferredDisplayCriteria to change video modes, I could guess which rate their TV might be in. It's not very ideal, because not all TVs support both of these rates, and my request for 59.94 might end up as 60 and vice versa. I dug around and can't find any available method in UIScreen to get this info. The odd thing is, the data is right there in currentMode when I look in the debugger, but it seems to be in a private or undocumented class. Is there any way to get at it?

I'm encountering an issue with In-App Purchases on Apple TV (tvOS): When a user initiates an IAP for the first time, the system prompts them to sign in with their Apple ID, and the purchase proceeds normally. However, on subsequent purchase attempts, if the Apple ID session has expired or additional verification is required, the system redirects the user to the Settings app to sign in again. After the user signs in via Settings, the app does not automatically return to the foreground. The user must manually press the Menu button to come back. Is this is the normal behaviour of apple tv for InApp purchase? or did I need any code improvement to solve this? What I'm trying to achieve: I'd like the app to automatically return to the foreground once the user has completed the Apple ID login in Settings. Is this behavior supported on tvOS? If not, is there any known workaround or best practice to guide the user back to the app smoothly? Any advice or guidance from Apple or other developers would be greatly appreciated!

During MDM Automated Device Enrollment of Apple TV, the web view defined by configuration_web_url is not working. We are using the web view to display the usage policy for all devices. While the web view functions correctly for other devices, it is resulting in an error specifically for Apple TV. Could you please clarify whether Apple plans to implement support for this feature on Apple TV in the future or if it will not be supported? Referring to configuration_web_url in: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/profile

Hi, This maybe somewhat confusing, but please bear with me. I currently have an app in the App Store that supports iOS and tvOS. But the tvOS version was a separate app during the development process. I'd like to combine the iOS and tvOS app into one project so its easier to handle and keep track of internally. Can I upload the new Apple TV version to the same place where the current one is, or would I have to delete the current Apple TV version before uploading the newly combined version? I hope I made that clear enough :-) Thank you, Dan Uff

I know this may not seem like the most important feature, but hear me out... I've been using Apple TV on a standard 1080p TV for years and it was GREAT. Recently, I purchased a higher-end 4K television, and when I plugged in my Apple TV - surprise! I was greeted with a somewhat laggy UI due to input delay. After playing with settings and doing a ton of research, I found that it's because of my TV's video processing features. When I switch from the default content type to my TV's Game Mode, the UI feels like a true Apple product again - crisp transitions and the input lag is basically gone. Here's the annoying part: when I start watching video content, it switches to the corresponding content type and everything looks perfect. But when I go back to the menus, it reverts to the default mode with all the lag. So I'm constantly having to manually switch modes! Adding ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) would fix this problem completely. The best part? It's backwards compatible with HDMI 2.0, so it seems like such a small thing to add that would seriously elevate the user experience. I would at least love it if apple gave users this option we can toggle in the settings. Any way we can get this? I made a community post here not sure best place to post

We are developing an iPad app which also needs to control apple TV. is there any lead for it, any sdk/library available for quick and easy integration.

Since tvOS 18.4 beta (22L5218l) i have the issue that When I turn off an Apple TV, the Apple TV and the connected TV turn off, but after a few seconds the devices start again. This never happened before. But now it is happening with 3 different Apple TV generations on 2 LG and 1 Telefunken TVs. All 3 Apple TV devices have been updated to tvOS 18.4 beta (22L5218l) and since then show this error.

I found a memory leak in tvOS 17.4, but it's not happening in tvOS 18.0 here is the code flow 1.I have controller inside which I have tableView which in turn contains a collectionview here I have passed self to tableViewcell as delegate and then from tableview cell I have passed self again as delegate to collectionViewcell, but memory is not released, because self is retained "I have passed self as weak every where still memory leak is happening only in tvOS 17.4 and below versions. but in 18.0 and above versions it's fine"

Description I'm developing a tvOS application where I utilize a UISearchController embedded within a UISearchContainerViewController for search functionality. In a particular flow, a custom view controller contains a TVDigitEntryViewController as a child, with its modalPresentationStyle set to .blurOverFullScreen. The issue arises when a user initiates the PIN entry but decides to cancel and return to the search interface without entering a PIN. Upon returning, the search keyboard is no longer visible, and attempts to focus or interact with it are unsuccessful. Steps to Reproduce Initialize and present a UISearchContainerViewController that contains a UISearchController with a results view controller. Within the search results, present a custom view controller containing TVDigitEntryViewController as a child, setting its modalPresentationStyle to .blurOverFullScreen. Dismiss the custom view controller without entering a PIN (e.g., by pressing the Menu button on the remote). Observe that upon returning to the search interface, the keyboard is missing, and focus interactions are unresponsive. Observed Behavior After dismissing the custom view controller with TVDigitEntryViewController, the search keyboard does not reappear, and the focus system seems to lose track of the search input field. Expected Behavior The search keyboard should remain visible and functional after dismissing the custom view controller, allowing users to continue their search without interruption. Additional Context I have reviewed the TVDigitEntryViewController documentation (developer.apple.com) and related discussions on the Apple Developer Forums but have not found a solution to this specific issue. Questions Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have insights into why the search keyboard becomes unresponsive after dismissing a .blurOverFullScreen modal with a child TVDigitEntryViewController? Are there recommended practices to ensure the search keyboard remains active and focusable after such modal presentations? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm working on an Apple TVOS app and trying to upload it to the App Store. My app includes a video file that’s 8GB in size, and I’ve moved the video to On-Demand Resources to optimize its size. However, when I generate the archive, the total file size comes out to 8.4GB, which is too large for App Store submission. Uploaded the build in the test flight but the test flight build is in progress then got the error is an invalid build.
