If you wanted to bring your Compose app to Apple TV, what would stop you first? Tell me which library or screen you'd need to see working before giving it a go. I'd like to hear what you're building.

Once I got Compose Multiplatform running on tvOS, I wanted to make it easy for you to try it in existing apps. So I settled on a plugin. You just add the plugin and tvOS targets in build files. No changing dependencies. And it's reversible in 2 minutes.

Focus is the big issue you will face making Compose work on a TV. It has a mind of its own.

But in Compose you can just intercept key events and make it behave however you want. In SwiftUI you're bound to the default focus engine unless you go down the UIKit route.

Matters a lot for an EPG viewer.

Compose Multiplatform for tvOS has been on Maven Central for 5 days. Tried it? Tell me what broke, or what worked. All 10 open issues are mine so far, I need yours. Plugin version, simulator or real Apple TV, small repro if you can.

Thanks @androidweekly for including my Compose Multiplatform on tvOS article and the compose-tvos plugin in issue #743.

First post here. I am Sajid, an Android and Android TV developer for about ten years.
Over the last year I added a tvOS target to Compose Multiplatform so one Kotlin UI could ship on Android, iOS, desktop and Apple TV. Today I published part 1 of a series on how it was done. 🧵
