Building For Apple TV

Building For Apple TV

Project with Native Code Required

This page only applies to projects made with react-native init or to those made with Create React Native App which have since ejected. For more information about ejecting, please see the guide on the Create React Native App repository.

Apple TV support has been implemented with the intention of making existing React Native iOS applications "just work" on tvOS, with few or no changes needed in the JavaScript code for the applications.

The RNTester app supports Apple TV; use the RNTester-tvOS build target to build for tvOS.

Build changes

  • Native layer: React Native Xcode projects all now have Apple TV build targets, with names ending in the string '-tvOS'.
