Practical experience in tvOS development includes creating applications optimized for a large screen and controlled with the Apple TV Remote. It is important to consider interface features such as element focus and navigation using gestures and buttons.

For example, the UIFocusEnvironment class is used for handling focus, and AVPlayerViewController for video playback. Additionally, tvOS restricts the use of touch input, so the interface must be adapted for remote control.

Here's an example of a simple controller with focus support:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override var preferredFocusEnvironments: [UIFocusEnvironment] {
        return [myButton]
    }

    let myButton = UIButton(type: .system)

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        myButton.setTitle("Press me", for: .normal)
        myButton.frame = CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 200, height: 50)
        view.addSubview(myButton)
    }
}
