Answer from AI

Main requirements for developing tvOS applications:

  • Optimization for large screens and remote control — the interface should be easy to navigate with the Apple TV remote.
  • Focus support — interface elements should clearly indicate which item is selected.
  • Performance and smooth animations — tvOS requires high responsiveness and smoothness.
  • Use of tvOS SDK and standard components — for compatibility and a better user experience.
  • Resource limitations — applications should be optimized for memory and CPU.
  • Media playback support — if the application involves video or audio.

For example, focus management uses the UIFocusEnvironment class, and the interface is built considering remote navigation.
