Sandbox account in tvOS
Now I’m testing in-app purchase for my app but I can’t find how to set up my snadbox account in tvOS. Acoording to Apple support team, the following menu item should be available in the settings; Settings > Users and Accounts > Sandbox Account But it’s not the case for me even I activated develope mode in tvOS already. Can anyone explain how to set up sandbox account in tvOS or how to activate the menu above? Thanks in advance.

tvOS 26 + Xcode 26 debugger won't launch
I have been using tvOS 18 and Xcode 26 all summer without issue but since updating the tv to the latest tvOS 26 beta I am now unable to attach to debug builds. When using the Run button in Xcode the build completes, the tv screen goes black and then I see a warning in Xcode: Launching "App Name" is taking longer than expected. Do you want to continue to wait? LLDB is likely reading from device memory to resolve symbols. If I continue to wait after around 5 mins, in the Xcode console, I see: warning: libobjc.A.dylib is being read from process memory. This indicates that LLDB could not find the on-disk shared cache for this device. This will likely reduce debugging performance. But the process on the tv hangs indefinately. Hitting stop in Xcode disconnects the debugger but the app then finishes launching successfully on the TV. Trying to use "Debug > Attach to process > [App Name]" once it is running also just hangs the app and waits until stopped. When stopping the hung debugger I see an Xcode error with the following: Could not attach to pid : “1222” Domain: IDEDebugSessionErrorDomain Code: 3 Failure Reason: internal error User Info: { DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2025-09-01 09:51:54 +0000"; DVTRadarComponentKey = 855031; IDERunOperationFailingWorker = DBGLLDBLauncher; RawUnderlyingErrorMessage = "Xcode has killed the LLDB RPC server to allow the debugger to detach from your process.

Blurred selected button on tvOS
The following code shows that a selected button in a list gots blurred if a glass effect is applied to the list. This happens if the button style is plain or glass. It does not happen if the button style is bordered. Is this a wanted documented behavior or is this a bug? struct ContentView: View { @State private var items = [ "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4"] var body: some View { ZStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .resizable() List(items, id: \.self) { item in Button(action: {}, label: { Text(item) }) } .padding() .glassEffect(in: Rectangle()) } } }

tvOS 18.0 Siri back button behavior bug
On testing my app with tvOS 18, I have noticed the Siri Remote back button no longer provides system-provided behavior when interacting with tab bar controller pages. Instead of moving focus back to the tab bar when pressed, the back button will close the app, as if the Home button was pressed. This occurs both on device and in the Simulator. Create tvOS project with a tab bar controller. Create pages/tabs which contain focusable items (ie. buttons) Scroll down to any focusable item (ie. a button or UICollectionView cell) Hit the Siri Remote back button. See expect behavior below: Expected behavior: System-provided behavior should move focus back to the tab bar at the top of the screen. Actual results: App is closed and user is taken back to the Home Screen. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

AVPlayerViewController `customInfoViewControllers` crash/workaround on tvOS 26
One thing I've noticed on tvOS 26 is that if you try to set the AVPlayerViewController customInfoViewControllers property while the Content Tabs are on screen, your app will crash. *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'UIViewControllerHierarchyInconsistency', reason: 'trying to add child view controller that is already presented: <AVInfoPanelViewController: 0x1030cdc00>' *** First throw call stack: (0x18a7167bc 0x189a77510 0x18a7166a8 0x1ab425658 0x1b2ee9d54 0x1b2efcd60 0x1b2eaf3f0 0x1080f744c 0x107e021a8 0x107e01b3c 0x18de41c14 0x18de41ba8 0x18de48d28 0x18ad9e358 0x101fac5f0 0x101fc6228 0x101fe7278 0x101fbc6fc 0x101fbc63c 0x18a67a2e0 0x18a679418 0x18a673b34 0x1937e4d5c 0x1abb36588 0x1abb3ae80 0x1aae9dec4 0x108610174 0x1086100e4 0x108615140 0x189abd4d0) I've logged a feedback (FB19554461) but it's getting awfully late in the dev cycle. So I've been trying to think of a workaround. The problem is that customInfoViewControllers is pretty declarative in nature. There are no properties or delegate methods I am aware of that let me know when they are displaying or not. One trick I came up with was seeing if my custom info view controller's view was "visible" or not - I put that in quotes because it turns out it can be visible even when I think it's not, as when the transport bar is scrolled to the top my custom VC still has its top pixels showing, so it gets a viewDidAppear call. So, I tried to see if my view controllers view is completely visible, ie based on the results of the GGRect contains method. And that works! But the problem is it only accounts for my own custom info view controllers, and not the standard one that Apple provides. I can't think of a way at all to know whether that is showing. Any ideas?

Compatibility of Liquid Glass Effect on Older Apple TV Models
Hello everyone, Following the WWDC 2025 announcement of tvOS 26 and the introduction of the new Liquid Glass effect, Apple published a press release mentioning that Liquid Glass is "available on Apple TV 4K (2nd generation and later)". This seems to exclude both the Apple TV HD and the 1st generation Apple TV 4K, even though both devices remain compatible with tvOS 26. Source: Apple Newsroom ( https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/06/apple-tv-brings-a-beautiful-redesign-and-enhanced-home-entertainment-experience ) I’m wondering: Will using UIGlassEffect or glassEffect(_:in:) on these older devices cause a crash? If not, will the effect fall back to a simple blur, or render as fully transparent? Is there an API or recommended way to detect whether the Liquid Glass effect is supported on the current device? Thanks in advance for your insights!

ASPasswordCredential Returns a Blank Password with Apple Password App
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?

tvOS 26 – Persistent UI animation issues: app launch stutter, text rendering jumps, shadow jumps, abrupt swipe transitions
Intro I am reporting multiple persistent UI animation issues observed in tvOS 26 (Beta 6). These issues have been reproducible across multiple tvOS releases. They are subtle but noticeable, and they affect the overall polish and perceived quality of the system. I am happy to provide high-quality video captures for each of the issues described below. ⸻ Bug #1: App launch animation stutter/jump Summary: The zoom-in animation from a Springboard icon to full-screen app stutters or jumps at the moment the app becomes full screen. Steps to reproduce: 1. On Springboard, select any app icon. 2. Observe the zoom-in animation. Expected result: Smooth, continuous zoom without frame drops or jumps. Actual result: Animation visibly stutters/jumps at the full-screen transition. Possible cause: Timing issue in Core Animation interpolation or abrupt view hierarchy switch. ⸻ Bug #2: Text rendering weight change (“jump”) during transitions Summary: Text inside apps changes visual weight mid-transition from scaled preview to full screen. Steps to reproduce: 1. From Springboard or App Switcher, launch an app with visible text. 2. Observe text during the zoom animation — initially slightly bolder, then thinner once full screen. Also occurs in: • Top Shelf banners in the Dock • App Switcher → full-screen transitions Expected result: Consistent text rendering throughout the transition. Actual result: Visible “pop” in text weight/anti-aliasing during transition. Possible cause: Different rasterization/anti-aliasing mode between preview snapshot (CALayer.contents) and live CoreText/UIKit rendering. ⸻ Bug #3: Focus shadow jumps instead of interpolating smoothly Summary: Shadows around focused UI elements (icons, buttons) change abruptly during focus transitions. Steps to reproduce: 1. Navigate between focusable UI elements on Springboard or in apps. 2. Observe the shadow effects. Expected result: Shadows interpolate smoothly (offset, opacity, radius) during focus transitions. Actual result: Shadows “jump” abruptly, breaking animation smoothness. Possible cause: UIFocusEngine not interpolating shadow parameters consistently. ⸻ Bug #4: Abrupt jumps when swiping horizontally between content items Summary: In horizontally scrollable poster/content rows, focus snaps abruptly instead of scrolling smoothly. Steps to reproduce: 1. In the TV app or any app with horizontal poster rows, swipe left/right. 2. Observe the transition between focused items. Expected result: Smooth horizontal navigation with continuous motion. Actual result: Occasional abrupt snapping/jumping between items. ⸻ Impact While none of these bugs block core functionality, they degrade the premium feel and visual polish of tvOS. They are persistent across releases and occur in core system UI, so they are visible to all users. Note I can provide video recordings for each bug to assist engineering in reproducing and analyzing the issues.

TVTopShelfContentProvider and Swift 6 Concurrency
I have a TVTopShelfContentProvider that implements func loadTopShelfContent() async -&gt; (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 -&gt; (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?

Disabling Dolby Atmos MAT2.0 with an Apple TV 4k 3rd gen 128gb OS26
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!

NavigationSplitView, tvOS, and view focus
Hello, I have a SwiftUI application that uses NavigationSplitView. It's working great on iOS, iPad, and macOS. I decided to give it a try on tvOS. After it builds, it will not allow user interaction on the NavigationSplitView's sidebar. I've tried various view focus modifiers without any success. I'd also expect this to "just work" as default behavior. I have filed FB13447961 on this issue. Here is a distillation of the code that demonstrates the problem. Any ideas? Thank you. enum Category : String, CaseIterable { case first case second case third } enum Detail : String, CaseIterable { case one case two case three } struct DetailView : View { let category : Category? var body: some View { if let category { Text(category.rawValue) List(Detail.allCases, id: \.self) { detail in NavigationLink(value: detail) { Text(detail.rawValue) } } } else { Text("Select Category") } } } struct ContentView: View { // NOTE: If this category is set to something, it will show that category's detail. // The problem is that the NavigationSplitView sidebar does not have, nor does not // seem to be able to get focus. @State var category: Category? @State var path : [Detail] = [] var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(Category.allCases, id: \.self, selection: $category) { category in Text(category.rawValue) } } detail: { NavigationStack(path: $path) { DetailView(category: category) .navigationDestination(for: Detail.self) { detail in Text("\(detail.rawValue)") } } } } } #wwdc2023-10162 #wwdc20-10042

Significant scrolling lag when using .focused modifier in large LazyVStack/LazyHStack on tvOS
Summary: When using the new .focused modifier to track focus within a large LazyVStack or LazyHStack, we observe a major frame-rate drop and stuttering on Apple TV (1st and 2nd generation). Steps to Reproduce: Create a LazyVStack (or LazyHStack) displaying a substantial list of data models (e.g., 100+ GroupData items). Attach the .focused(::) modifier to each row, binding to an @FocusState variable of the same model type. Build and run on an Apple TV device or simulator. Scroll through the list using the remote. static func == (lhs: GroupData, rhs: GroupData) -> Bool { lhs.id == rhs.id } var id: String var name: String var subName: String var subGroup: [GroupData] = [] var logo: URL? } struct TestView: View { @FocusState var focusedGroup: GroupData? let groupsArr: [GroupData] var body: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack { ForEach(groupsArr, id: \.id) { group in Button { } label: { GroupTestView(group: group) } .id(group.id) .focused($focusedGroup, equals: group) } } } } } struct GroupTestView: View { let group: GroupData var body: some View { HStack { KFImage.url(group.logo) .placeholder { Image(systemName: "photo") .opacity(0.2) .imageScale(.large) } .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 70) VStack { Text(group.name) Text(group.subName) } } } } Expected Behavior Scrolling remains smooth (60 fps) regardless of list size. Focus updates without introducing visible lag. Observed Behavior Frame rate drops significantly when .focused is applied. Scrolling becomes visibly laggy, especially on older Apple TV hardware. Even when binding an @FocusState<String?> (storing only the id), performance improves slightly but remains suboptimal. Workarounds Tried Switched to @FocusState of type String to track only the ID of each group, this has helped but there is still a big performance decrease. Minimised view-body complexity and removed other modifiers. Verified that excluding .focused entirely restores smooth scrolling. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Getting ShinyTV Example to Work
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?

Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen recovery failures
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

Correct formatting of webcredentials app id
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 &lt;TEAM_ID&gt;.&lt;BUNDLE_ID&gt;, and in other places I am seeing &lt;APP_ID&gt;.&lt;BUNDLE_ID&gt;. 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.

tvOS 26 + Xcode 26 debugger won't launch
I have been using tvOS 18 and Xcode 26 all summer without issue but since updating the tv to the latest tvOS 26 beta I am now unable to attach to debug builds. When using the Run button in Xcode the build completes, the tv screen goes black and then I see a warning in Xcode: Launching "App Name" is taking longer than expected. Do you want to continue to wait? LLDB is likely reading from device memory to resolve symbols. If I continue to wait after around 5 mins, in the Xcode console, I see: warning: libobjc.A.dylib is being read from process memory. This indicates that LLDB could not find the on-disk shared cache for this device. This will likely reduce debugging performance. But the process on the tv hangs indefinately. Hitting stop in Xcode disconnects the debugger but the app then finishes launching successfully on the TV.

Blurred selected button on tvOS
The following code shows that a selected button in a list gots blurred if a glass effect is applied to the list. This happens if the button style is plain or glass. It does not happen if the button style is bordered. Is this a wanted documented behavior or is this a bug? struct ContentView: View { @State private var items = [ "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4"] var body: some View { ZStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .resizable() List(items, id: \.self) { item in Button(action: {}, label: { Text(item) }) } .padding() .glassEffect(in: Rectangle()) } } }

tvOS 18.0 Siri back button behavior bug
On testing my app with tvOS 18, I have noticed the Siri Remote back button no longer provides system-provided behavior when interacting with tab bar controller pages. Instead of moving focus back to the tab bar when pressed, the back button will close the app, as if the Home button was pressed. This occurs both on device and in the Simulator. Create tvOS project with a tab bar controller. Create pages/tabs which contain focusable items (ie. buttons) Scroll down to any focusable item (ie. a button or UICollectionView cell) Hit the Siri Remote back button. See expect behavior below: Expected behavior: System-provided behavior should move focus back to the tab bar at the top of the screen. Actual results: App is closed and user is taken back to the Home Screen. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

AVPlayerViewController `customInfoViewControllers` crash/workaround on tvOS 26
One thing I've noticed on tvOS 26 is that if you try to set the AVPlayerViewController customInfoViewControllers property while the Content Tabs are on screen, your app will crash. *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'UIViewControllerHierarchyInconsistency', reason: 'trying to add child view controller that is already presented: <AVInfoPanelViewController: 0x1030cdc00>' *** First throw call stack: (0x18a7167bc 0x189a77510 0x18a7166a8 0x1ab425658 0x1b2ee9d54 0x1b2efcd60 0x1b2eaf3f0 0x1080f744c 0x107e021a8 0x107e01b3c 0x18de41c14 0x18de41ba8 0x18de48d28 0x18ad9e358 0x101fac5f0 0x101fc6228 0x101fe7278 0x101fbc6fc 0x101fbc63c 0x18a67a2e0 0x18a679418 0x18a673b34 0x1937e4d5c 0x1abb36588 0x1abb3ae80 0x1aae9dec4 0x108610174 0x1086100e4 0x108615140 0x189abd4d0) I've logged a feedback (FB19554461) but it's getting awfully late in the dev cycle. So I've been trying to think of a workaround. The problem is that customInfoViewControllers is pretty declarative in nature. There are no properties or delegate methods I am aware of that let me know when they are displaying or not. One trick I came up with was seeing if my custom info view controller's view was "visible" or not - I put that in quotes because it turns out it can be visible even when I think it's not, as when the transport bar is scrolled to the top my custom VC still has its top pixels showing, so it gets a viewDidAppear call. So, I tried to see if my view controllers view is completely visible, ie based on the results of the GGRect contains method. And that works! But the problem is it only accounts for my own custom info view controllers, and not the standard one that Apple provides. I can't think of a way at all to know whether that is showing. Any ideas?

Compatibility of Liquid Glass Effect on Older Apple TV Models
Hello everyone, Following the WWDC 2025 announcement of tvOS 26 and the introduction of the new Liquid Glass effect, Apple published a press release mentioning that Liquid Glass is "available on Apple TV 4K (2nd generation and later)". This seems to exclude both the Apple TV HD and the 1st generation Apple TV 4K, even though both devices remain compatible with tvOS 26. Source: Apple Newsroom ( https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/06/apple-tv-brings-a-beautiful-redesign-and-enhanced-home-entertainment-experience ) I’m wondering: Will using UIGlassEffect or glassEffect(_:in:) on these older devices cause a crash? If not, will the effect fall back to a simple blur, or render as fully transparent? Is there an API or recommended way to detect whether the Liquid Glass effect is supported on the current device? Thanks in advance for your insights!

ASPasswordCredential Returns a Blank Password with Apple Password App
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?

tvOS 26 – Persistent UI animation issues: app launch stutter, text rendering jumps, shadow jumps, abrupt swipe transitions
Intro I am reporting multiple persistent UI animation issues observed in tvOS 26 (Beta 6). These issues have been reproducible across multiple tvOS releases. They are subtle but noticeable, and they affect the overall polish and perceived quality of the system. I am happy to provide high-quality video captures for each of the issues described below. ⸻ Bug #1: App launch animation stutter/jump Summary: The zoom-in animation from a Springboard icon to full-screen app stutters or jumps at the moment the app becomes full screen. Steps to reproduce: 1. On Springboard, select any app icon. 2. Observe the zoom-in animation. Expected result: Smooth, continuous zoom without frame drops or jumps. Actual result: Animation visibly stutters/jumps at the full-screen transition. Possible cause: Timing issue in Core Animation interpolation or abrupt view hierarchy switch. ⸻ Bug #2: Text rendering weight change (“jump”) during transitions Summary: Text inside apps changes visual weight mid-transition from scaled preview to full screen. Steps to reproduce: 1. From Springboard or App Switcher, launch an app with visible text. 2. Observe text during the zoom animation — initially slightly bolder, then thinner once full screen. Also occurs in: • Top Shelf banners in the Dock • App Switcher → full-screen transitions Expected result: Consistent text rendering throughout the transition. Actual result: Visible “pop” in text weight/anti-aliasing during transition. Possible cause: Different rasterization/anti-aliasing mode between preview snapshot (CALayer.contents) and live CoreText/UIKit rendering. ⸻ Bug #3: Focus shadow jumps instead of interpolating smoothly Summary: Shadows around focused UI elements (icons, buttons) change abruptly during focus transitions. Steps to reproduce: 1. Navigate between focusable UI elements on Springboard or in apps. 2. Observe the shadow effects. Expected result: Shadows interpolate smoothly (offset, opacity, radius) during focus transitions. Actual result: Shadows “jump” abruptly, breaking animation smoothness. Possible cause: UIFocusEngine not interpolating shadow parameters consistently. ⸻ Bug #4: Abrupt jumps when swiping horizontally between content items Summary: In horizontally scrollable poster/content rows, focus snaps abruptly instead of scrolling smoothly. Steps to reproduce: 1. In the TV app or any app with horizontal poster rows, swipe left/right. 2. Observe the transition between focused items. Expected result: Smooth horizontal navigation with continuous motion. Actual result: Occasional abrupt snapping/jumping between items. ⸻ Impact While none of these bugs block core functionality, they degrade the premium feel and visual polish of tvOS. They are persistent across releases and occur in core system UI, so they are visible to all users. Note I can provide video recordings for each bug to assist engineering in reproducing and analyzing the issues.

TVTopShelfContentProvider and Swift 6 Concurrency
I have a TVTopShelfContentProvider that implements func loadTopShelfContent() async -&gt; (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 -&gt; (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?

Disabling Dolby Atmos MAT2.0 with an Apple TV 4k 3rd gen 128gb OS26
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!

Wireless audio calibration with AirPlay speakers
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?

NavigationSplitView, tvOS, and view focus
Hello, I have a SwiftUI application that uses NavigationSplitView. It's working great on iOS, iPad, and macOS. I decided to give it a try on tvOS. After it builds, it will not allow user interaction on the NavigationSplitView's sidebar. I've tried various view focus modifiers without any success. I'd also expect this to "just work" as default behavior. I have filed FB13447961 on this issue. Here is a distillation of the code that demonstrates the problem. Any ideas? Thank you. enum Category : String, CaseIterable { case first case second case third } enum Detail : String, CaseIterable { case one case two case three } struct DetailView : View { let category : Category? var body: some View { if let category { Text(category.rawValue) List(Detail.allCases, id: \.self) { detail in NavigationLink(value: detail) { Text(detail.rawValue) } } } else { Text("Select Category") } } } struct ContentView: View { // NOTE: If this category is set to something, it will show that category's detail. // The problem is that the NavigationSplitView sidebar does not have, nor does not // seem to be able to get focus. @State var category: Category? @State var path : [Detail] = [] var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { List(Category.allCases, id: \.self, selection: $category) { category in Text(category.rawValue) } } detail: { NavigationStack(path: $path) { DetailView(category: category) .navigationDestination(for: Detail.self) { detail in Text("\(detail.rawValue)") } } } } } #wwdc2023-10162 #wwdc20-10042

Significant scrolling lag when using .focused modifier in large LazyVStack/LazyHStack on tvOS
Summary: When using the new .focused modifier to track focus within a large LazyVStack or LazyHStack, we observe a major frame-rate drop and stuttering on Apple TV (1st and 2nd generation). Steps to Reproduce: Create a LazyVStack (or LazyHStack) displaying a substantial list of data models (e.g., 100+ GroupData items). Attach the .focused(::) modifier to each row, binding to an @FocusState variable of the same model type. Build and run on an Apple TV device or simulator. Scroll through the list using the remote. static func == (lhs: GroupData, rhs: GroupData) -> Bool { lhs.id == rhs.id } var id: String var name: String var subName: String var subGroup: [GroupData] = [] var logo: URL? } struct TestView: View { @FocusState var focusedGroup: GroupData? let groupsArr: [GroupData] var body: some View { ScrollView { LazyVStack { ForEach(groupsArr, id: \.id) { group in Button { } label: { GroupTestView(group: group) } .id(group.id) .focused($focusedGroup, equals: group) } } } } } struct GroupTestView: View { let group: GroupData var body: some View { HStack { KFImage.url(group.logo) .placeholder { Image(systemName: "photo") .opacity(0.2) .imageScale(.large) } .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 70) VStack { Text(group.name) Text(group.subName) } } } } Expected Behavior Scrolling remains smooth (60 fps) regardless of list size. Focus updates without introducing visible lag. Observed Behavior Frame rate drops significantly when .focused is applied. Scrolling becomes visibly laggy, especially on older Apple TV hardware. Even when binding an @FocusState<String?> (storing only the id), performance improves slightly but remains suboptimal. Workarounds Tried Switched to @FocusState of type String to track only the ID of each group, this has helped but there is still a big performance decrease. Minimised view-body complexity and removed other modifiers. Verified that excluding .focused entirely restores smooth scrolling. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Getting ShinyTV Example to Work
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?

Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen recovery failures
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

Correct formatting of webcredentials app id
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 &lt;TEAM_ID&gt;.&lt;BUNDLE_ID&gt;, and in other places I am seeing &lt;APP_ID&gt;.&lt;BUNDLE_ID&gt;. 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.
