Here is a minimal code private func createItem(from movie: Movie, showProgress: Bool, imageType: ImageType) -> TVTopShelfSectionedItem { let item = TVTopShelfSectionedItem(identifier: movie.id) // Set title for the item item.title = movie.title switch imageType { case .landscape: item.imageShape = .hdtv // HDTV shape for landscape/backdrop images if let backdropUrl = movie.backdropUrl, let url = URL(string: backdropUrl) { item.setImageURL(url, for: .screenScale2x) } case .poster: item.imageShape = .poster // Poster shape for poster images if let posterUrl = movie.posterUrl, let url = URL(string: posterUrl) { item.setImageURL(url, for: .screenScale2x) } } if showProgress { item.playbackProgress = 0.5 } return item } As you can see the progress bar is pushed to the bottom. There is no padding around it. Am I doing something wrong or this is bug in the framework?

Our tvOS app makes use of top shelf Carousel style slides to promote our content. We would like to detect when tvOS transitions between individual top shelf slides, regardless of whether the slide transition is made by a user (via the Siri remote), or by the system idle auto-transition. Has anyone achieved this, maybe there are undocumented system hooks or events we can listen to?

tvOS 18 doesn't provide passthrough of multichannel audio for streaming apps offering content where it it promoted as available. This is true for devices for which the functionality existed before the 18.0 tvOS update. What's more, the 18.1 Public Beta did not provide a resolution for the issue. All streaming apps appear to be affected. Notably, Home Sharing does not appear to be affected, and continues to provide multichannel audio as it did before the 18.0 update.

Hi Team, I'm using AVPlayer on Apple TV 2nd generation which has that siri click pad with four buttons around and we need to detect where the user clicked on the Siri remote fast forward/backward. I have tested many different approaches to do it, but nothing is working for me. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve it in Swift?

This is my first tvOS app. my problem is I've been trying to create a tvOS app icon to be displayed. Ive used the parallax previewer it looks great i even exported it. But couldn't figure out how to import into my project, even though i went through the forums. Then I added the images into the stack spots like i did in parallax even adjusting the sizes. it shows correctly in the simulator before i go to it, then when i select it it shrinks to the corner Before: After If anyone can help me I'd appreciate the help, I've spent two days on this.

Hello guys, we have some games working on ios platform and now we want to publish them to Apple tv. I have some questions How can we earn from games from tvOS? Is it worth it to put some effort on converting unity games to tvOS? What is the percentage of users using tvOS?

I'm able to build and run the TV app with the TVTopShelf extension on simulators and physical Apple TVs but I get an error when I try to validate (or distribute) the archive built from XCode. The error says: App Store Connect Operation Error - Asset validation failed The log files don't provide more information: "Error Domain=ContentDelivery Code=90362 "App Store Connect Operation Error" UserInfo={IDEDistributionIssueSeverity=3, NSLocalizedDescription=App Store Connect Operation Error, NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Asset validation failed}" As far as I know the certificate, the identifiers and the provisioning profiles for both the tvOS app and the TVTopShelf extension are OK. When I choose to manually select signing options, I can set the provisioning profiles for both the app and the extension and XCode does not complain about them. Is there something specific to know when distributing an app with an extension app? Is there some configuration to set on AppStoreConnect side? Or common pitfalls to avoid? Thanks for your help.

I am in the process of releasing my first ott app. I currently only have a tvOS app, but not an iOS or mac version. Will the "Up Next" carousel be updated from my app automatically in the apple tv+ app? Is there an integration I need to add? I can't find anything in docs.

I was taking a look at the published HI guidelines for tvOS, and noticed that -- when introducing unique characteristics of the tvOS UX -- the 3rd paragraph mentions the "accelerometer and gyroscope" in the Apple TV remote. The newest Apple TV generation includes a redesigned remote which lacks accelerometer and gyroscope, thus doubtlessly requiring a refresh of human interface expectations. @AppleDev, any plans to update tvOS design themes?
