ISSUE: Warning: None of the input catalogs contained a matching App Icon & Top Shelf Image brand assets collection named "AppIcon" INFORMATION: So I currently have my app published and it works for iOS, and visionOS. (iPhone, iPad, Mac & Apple Vision Pro) There is one target for all OS versions. I have recently updated it to work with tvOS, however upon building I run into the warning listed at the top of this post. I have the following within the project: 'AppIcon.icon' (from the new icon composer for iOS, macOS and watchOS) And within .xcassets: 'AppIcon' (which contains the majority of the icons) 'Brand Assets' Folder (created by right click, tvOS, New tvOS App Icon and Top Shelf Image; which contains these icons in layers and the correct sizes) Brand Assets retains the names created by Xcode, App Icon - App Store, App Icon, Top Shelf Image Wide, Top Shelf Image In "General" in the target, I have AppIcon, still listed as the AppIcon name. Adding a second entry here for just tvOS does not resolve my issue, our could be that I do not what to call it so it can properly find it. QUESTION: What am I missing so that the build process detects these images properly and completes a successful build for tvOS? I am assuming I need to add options to the App Icons and Launch Screens area, but what is the name I place here for tvOS? SCREENSHOTS:

I'm working on a tvOS application that plays video content using TVMLKit/TVJS. I'm trying to integrate Google IMA SDK to show pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads in my app. Here’s what I’ve done so far: Video playback is handled through JavaScript in application.js. Ads are managed in Swift using Google IMA SDK. I use the evaluateJavaScript bridge to control video playback from Swift. I pause and resume the TVJS player (Player object) using a function like startPlayingVideo(value) from Swift based on the ad lifecycle. Current Flow: When the video is about to start, I call loadAds() from JS. This presents a Swift ViewController that handles IMA ad requests. On adsManagerDidRequestContentPause, I pause the video using JS via the bridge. On adsManagerDidRequestContentResume, I resume the video. The Issue: This setup doesn't behave consistently: Sometimes the ad plays in the background and video started playing as well but can not see the ad. Not able to see the post-roll ads Relevant Code Snippets: application.js function startPlayingVideo(value) { if (playerReference != undefined) { if (value == true) { playerReference.play(); else { playerReference.pause(); } } } function playVideo(videoURL) { setup playerReference, push mediaItem, etc. loadAds(); player.present(); } AppDelegate.swift let loadAds: @convention(block) () -\> Void = { DispatchQueue.main.async { let adManagerVC = ViewController() AppDelegate.tvController?.navigationController.present(adManagerVC, animated: true) } } let updateVideoPlayTime: @convention(block) (Double) -\> Void = { time in CustomContentPlayhead.shared.currentTime = TimeInterval(time) } ViewController.swift func adsManagerDidRequestContentPause(\_ adsManager: IMAAdsManager) { showAdUI() playerViewController.player?.pause() } func adsManagerDidRequestContentResume(\_ adsManager: IMAAdsManager) { hideAdUI() // Expecting JS video to resume via bridge } And yeah my IMSDK Implementation is working fine if I am using it with swift AVPlayer. What I Need Help With: Best practice for coordinating video playback between JS (Player) and Swift (IMAAdsManager). How can I sync the playhead reliably between JS and Swift? Is there a better way to pause/resume TVJS player from Swift during ad lifecycle? How to reliably insert mid-roll ads when the playback is primarily controlled in JS? Any insights, code examples, or recommended architecture improvements would be greatly appreciated!

Please make sure this feature gets placed back. Parents need a way to provide the ability for kids to watch and not watch at their discretion. The new system doesn’t allow this to happen. Are there any workarounds?

Hi, I am trying to update an old prototype I made for tvOS using DNSServiceBrowse(). The target was tvOS 17. My old build from September 2023 still works fine: It can discover computers on the same local network as the Apple TV (simulator). However, now that I am using Xcode 16, the DNSServiceBrowse() callback (of type DNSServiceBrowseReply) receives the error code: -65570. The call to DNSServiceBrowse() itself returns no error, neither does the following call to DNSServiceProcessResult() — which actually triggers the call of the callback. I found nowhere in the Internet any list of possible error codes received by the callback, so I have no idea what it means. So, my first question is: What does this error code mean? (And is there any list of the possible errors somewehere, with their meaning?) Since it was a prototype, I have no provisioning profile defined for it. Could that be related to the issue? Since I will make a real app out that prototype (targeting tvOS 18), I will have to define a provisioning profile for it. Would a provisioning profile for the app solve the issue? If yes, are there any requirements for that profile that I should take into account to solve the issue? Thank you in advance for any help, Marc

Building my multiplatform target, works great for iOS, visionOS, MacOS. tvOS builds fine, if I do not include any of the items in the .xcassets file. I have attempted to add a second .xcassets file for just tvOS, but Xcode will not detect the second .xcassets if created manually, and will just "spin" when adding via the add file menu option. If I add tvOS to the target membership for any of the .xcassets items (Xcode applies that target membership for ALL items in the .xcassets) we then we get the distill failed error. The issue will sporadically be solved by removing the visionOS app icon from the .xcassets file and building that way, but it is not a perfect solution, as it does not work every time. If there is a more targeted "membership options" that doesn't apply .xcassets wide, that would probably be the simplest solution.

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?

Just noticed a bug in tvOS 18+: If you present a modal (.sheet or similar) that contains a TextField, click into the text field to select your text from keyboard, then press the Back button, the TextField becomes unclickable and we are not able to update the textfield again. This behavior didn’t happen in tvOS 17, so it seems to be a regression introduced in tvOS 18.3, tested only on silumator Repro steps: Present a modal with a TextField Focus and click the TextField Press the Back button to dismiss the keyBoard Try clicking the TextField → nothing happens (and textfield is full white) If anyone has a workaround, I’d love to hear it! struct ModalView: View { @State var text: String = "" var body: some View { TextField("", text: $text, prompt: Text("Prompt")) } } struct ContentView: View { @State var isModal: Bool = false var body: some View { NavigationView { ZStack { SwiftUI.Button.init { isModal = true } label: { Text("click") } } }.sheet(isPresented: $isModal) { ModalView() } } }

We have an app that optionally includes UIKit, and in Xcode 16.3 it builds just fine, but with Xcode 26 it fails because it cannot find UIDefines.h. Error: /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/AppleTVOS26.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/Headers/UIKitDefines.h:10:9: fatal error: 'UIUtilities/UIDefines.h' file not found I looked for it, and inside of Xcode 26 there is a new folder(SubFrameworks) inside of the TV Simulator that does not exist in 18 and it only has one thing in that folder and it's UIUtilities.framework. Reference path: /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/AppleTVSimulator.sdk/System/Library/SubFrameworks/UIUtilities.framework/ Not sure how to get around this except to put in a bunch of new ifdefines maybe to deal with it, but it is weird that the subframeworks file is part of the issue. Anyone have any ideas besides copying the files over (doesn't work anyway)?

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.

first post here and this is kinda a long shot. I’m working on a custom keypad project for a young man with some mobility issues that unfortunately prevents gestrue and voice control as UI options. id like to see if I can pull track metadata via a Bluetooth connection into a custom keyboard with a small screen. I know hid doesn’t support this but I was hoping maybe the API for iOS’s blueprint remote app could be leveraged. I haven’t don’t much with Apple previousl. Usually Roku and Crestron implantations but I’m hoping to see if I can accomplish something with Apple, without needing to implement any IP connection.

I have been trying to add improved tvOS login using an Associated Domain and web credentials. In some places, I am seeing that the format is <TEAM_ID>.<BUNDLE_ID>, and in other places I am seeing <APP_ID>.<BUNDLE_ID>. I am having trouble getting both to work, but in order to properly troubleshoot, I want to make sure that I am using the correct identifier. Can someone give me a definitive answer? The documentation says app id, but I have seen Apple engineers in this forum say team id, and many other posts around the internet also saying team id.

I have downloaded the ShinyTV example to test simplified sign-in on tvOS since it is not working in my own app, and I am having the same issue there. After assigning my team to the sample app, the bundle ID updates with my team id. I copy the bundle ID into a file entitled "apple-app-site-association" with this format: { "webcredentials": { "apps": [ "{MyTeamID}.com.example.apple-samplecode.ShinyTV{MyTeamID}" ] } } I upload the file to my personal site, ensuring that the content type is application/json. I adjust the Associated Domain entitlement to: webcredentials:*.{personal-site.com}?mode=developer using the alternate mode to force it to load from my site, not the CDN. When I run the build on tvOS, and click the Sign In button, it fails with these errors: Failed to start session: Error Domain=com.apple.CompanionServices.CPSErrorDomain Code=205 "Failed to prepare authorization requests" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=( "Error Domain=com.apple.CompanionServices.CPSErrorDomain Code=205 \"Missing associated web credentials domains\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Missing associated web credentials domains}" ), NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to prepare authorization requests} Session failed: Error Domain=com.apple.CompanionServices.CPSErrorDomain Code=205 "Failed to prepare authorization requests" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=( "Error Domain=com.apple.CompanionServices.CPSErrorDomain Code=205 \"Missing associated web credentials domains\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Missing associated web credentials domains}" ), NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to prepare authorization requests} ASAuthorizationController credential request failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError Code=1004 "(null)" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=( "Error Domain=com.apple.CompanionServices.CPSErrorDomain Code=205 \"(null)\"" )} Failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError Code=1004 "Failed to prepare authorization requests" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=( "Error Domain=com.apple.CompanionServices.CPSErrorDomain Code=205 \"Missing associated web credentials domains\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Missing associated web credentials domains}" ), NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to prepare authorization requests} What am I missing here?

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

Using the simplified sign-in with tvOS and a third party password manager, I receive a complete ASPasswordCredential, and I can easily log into my app. When I do the same thing but with Apple's password manager as the source, I receive an ASPasswordCredential that includes the email address, but the password is an empty string. I have tried deleting the credentials from Apple Passwords and regenerating them with a new login to the app's website. I have tried restarting my iPhone. Is this the expected behavior? How should I be getting a password from Apple's Password app with an ASAuthorizationPasswordRequest?

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?

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?

Hi everyone! I'm building a tvOS 18.5 app using SwiftUI in Xcode 16.4, and I'm having trouble reliably detecting button clicks from the 2nd generation Siri Remote. .onMoveCommand(perform: handleMoveCommand) func handleMoveCommand(_ direction: MoveCommandDirection) { switch direction { case .right: nextQuote() case .left: previousQuote() default: break } } Swiping left or right on the remote's touch surface works as expected, the callback fires every time. However, when I press the physical left/right buttons (outside the touch surface), the input is unreliable. Sometimes it registers, other times I need to press multiple times or nothing happens at all. I’ve confirmed the view is .focusable(true) and bound with @FocusState. Is this a known limitation or bug with .onMoveCommand on recent tvOS versions? Or is there a more robust way to handle physical Siri Remote button presses?

I have a TVTopShelfContentProvider that implements func loadTopShelfContent() async -> (any TVTopShelfContent)? When running on Xcode 26 b5 I am seeing the following error in swift 6 mode. Non-Sendable type '(any TVTopShelfContent)?' cannot be returned from nonisolated override to caller of superclass instance method 'loadTopShelfContent()' I'm not sure exactly what's changed here as it used to compile just fine but it's unclear now how I can work-around this error or how the API is supposed to be used. The following definition is enough to trigger the error in Swift 6 language mode. import TVServices class ContentProvider: TVTopShelfContentProvider { override func loadTopShelfContent() async -> (any TVTopShelfContent)? { return nil } } I can "fix" it by adding @preconcurrency to the TVServices import but it seems like this API is unusable currently? Or maybe it's user error on my part?

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!
