@stevestreza @MikeBeas It’s fun to make Apple TV (tvOS-native) apps, in my view. Definitely an underrated platform (speaking as a SwiftUI hobbyist — and an ATV ≈daily user for almost a decade). The problems I’ve faced are the messages in Xcode saying something like ”this feature is not available in tvOS” or similar, so you’ll inevitably see conditional platform checks for iOS/iPadOS and tvOS, or a bunch of tedious refactorisations.
