TV Example

Creates a project that can build for Apple TV and Android TV targets.

Note: This example is still at an experimental stage, and is based on SDK 50 beta release.

This project uses

• the React Native TV fork, which supports both phone (Android and iOS) and TV (Android TV and Apple TV) targets
• the React Native TV config plugin to allow Expo prebuild to modify the project's native files for TV builds

🚀 How to use

Creating a new project

• Create a project: npx create-expo-app -e with-tv
• cd into the project

export EXPO_TV=1
npx expo prebuild
yarn ios # Build for Apple TV
yarn android # Build for Android TV

TV specific file extensions

This project contains an example Metro configuration that allows Metro to resolve application source files with TV-specific code, indicated by specific file extensions (*.ios.tv.tsx, *.android.tv.tsx, *.tv.tsx). This config is not enabled by default, since it will impact bundling performance, but is available for developers who need this capability.
