The sample Photos app: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/samplecode/UsingPhotosFramework/Introduction/Intro.html that's updated for tvOS runs fine on an actual device but not on a simulator. In fact, I can't get a simple test app that registers/unregisters for PhotoLibrary changes running on a simulator.

I'm wondering if this is related to the tvOS simulator not having a Photos.app there by default as is the case for the iOS simulator. Any thoughts?

Is this happening for you with Xcode 8 Beta 2 and the simulator?

I've tested with beta 2. What I see in the simple app is a notification requesting access photos. There are 3 buttons, Select, OK, and Don't Allow. Select is in focus. I can't change focus to the other buttons so it's basically frozen.

Please try again with Seed 3 and let us know if you still hit this. As a workaround, you should be able to go into Settings > Apps > App Name > Allow > Always.
