Usually each game needs slight adjustment of input scheme to leverage unique Apple TV Remote input features. TV Remote input is minimally processed by Unity and mostly routed to corresponding Unity APIs. You can estimate Bitcode size by analyzing LLVM sections in your executable with otool -l.Īpple TV Remote (Siri Remote) serves as multipurpose input device working both as traditional menu navigation controller, game controller, gyro and acceleration sensor and as touch gesture device.

This added size is not accounted for distribution size, as it will be stripped by App Store servers.

Note that Bitcode is included with tvOS builds, which will add ~130 MB to your executables. For On Demand Resources support in Unity please refer to section below.

If your game takes more than 200 MB on disk, you should break it into smaller parts and use On Demand Resources.

Don’t forget to reach plugin providers and ask them to update plugins. We recommend you to create separate branch of your game and do porting to Apple TV there.

Many of iOS plugins won’t be compatible with Apple TV, because it supports only subset of iOS frameworks.

It’s recommended to create empty tvOS app with Xcode to test if provisioning works correctly.

Setup provisioning for this device the same way as for iOS devices.

You need 4th generation Apple TV device (don’t forget to get USB C USB 3.0 cable, which is not included with consumer package).

This manual page is primarely aimed at helping transitioning from iOS to tvOS. While deploying already pre-existent mobile game on tvOS is one click away, game content often needs adapted to play nicely with new input controls or the fact that it will be played on big screen TV. Apple TV platform builds on foundation of iOS platform and at the same time brings new paradagims and challenges for game developers.
