Thanks for showing all this...does this cost anything?
Hi thanks for the great tutorial! I'm the maintainer of react-native-tvos and the author of with-router-tv template and Expo TV config plugin, and we at Expo really appreciate this :)
Thank you for your incredible work Douglas ❤️
This is good to see my own streaming app on tv 😅 , my family will proud on me 😂😂
It feels magical
can you show us a single react native project that run a mac/window app, android/apple tv app, and ios/android mobile app from the same project , or thats impossible ?
I just build a tv app with a customized drawer using your video about expo drawer 😊 😎
Niiiice!
is there is any option / configuration that we will directly boot into our app, when tv is turned on and it will automatically boot into our app for smooth user experience as mostly used in digital signage systems
Please make a dedicated video on adding support for remote/D-pad control and integration for SDK 51 and above for the Expo TV app, love your content btw
Nice video! How deploy in your tv?
would be amazing to learn more with one of your existing examples, especially with big lists because the specs of tvs are way less than mobile devices, also would love to learn how to deploy it to lg devices with the webos cause I know it is possible I just don't know how to do it, and couldnt find any resource for that! Thank you
Thanks for the ideas!
@@galaxies_devjust deployed a react native tv app on my LG tv 😊 let me know if you want a recap!
Is there a way for apple watch with react-native?
I want to know the same
Of course there is! Will see what I can do 💪
Would love to see a deep dive on building tv apps on android, I'm following the guides and cant get buttons or focus to work on the tv without using my mouse.
Thank you for the great content!
Glad you enjoy it!
can this setup also run mobile apps or it should be another project?
How did you use live reload on your Apple TV??
Great video!
Fast refresh and most other RN debugger features work the same on TV as on the phone :)
Same as with an iOS device!
Can we convert our current react native expo app to tv app?
Its a good question. Did you manage to install it on your tv?
I follow every step and I keep getting this error CommandError: Failed to build iOS project. "xcodebuild" exited with error code 65, do you know why?
How do you deploy to your tv ??
Did you manage to install it on your tv?
Always spot on, man🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Hi, will this work on Samsung TVs in the future?
I haven't tried yet
How can I use expo router to navigate from onboarding page to login and preventing user from going back to the onboarding? Can you help me with this please
You have to use "replace" on the link component or with the router!
This is awesome.
Thank you!
I'm freakin grateful for every video you drop ✊🏾Thanks!!
Your consistency helps me to keep up mine 😁🙏🏾🙏🏾
I appreciate that!
I can’t find a list of tv manufacturer supported by expo
The video shows it builds apps for tv os from apple and tvs running on android. It doesn't say anything about other tvs that run linux or some custom os
If you're on M1 get ready to have a fun time upgrading/downgrading versions of JAVA and Gradle for 4 hours trying to get the project to open on android emulator
What about android TV?
Android TV is fully supported with Expo and the React Native TV repo!
great video!
If you enjoyed it, maybe you can share the channel with your RN colleagues ✌️
I've had to make a tv app for androidtv, tvos and samsung (tizen), I used Renative, a wrapper around react native that covered tv and such. Worst developer experience of my life, wouldn't recommend getting into tv app development.
This is up to date with the latest Expo packages and React Native core APIs, and will give you a MUCH better experience for Apple TV and Android TV.
Using a fork of react-native? This is somehow a no go for me...
It comes with a cost, maybe only keep the TV part in a project and have a separate project for native apps
The fork is continuously kept up to date with the code from RN core, and supports both TV and mobile devices. The Expo doc for TV shows how to use prebuild to regenerate the native ios and android directories for either TV or phone.
We have successfully launched tvos and androidtv apps using this method since last March. It running okay. Thanks @douglowder for your efforts
