What is this?

This repo contains a skeleton to produce new TVOS Apps (typically based on TVML)

It consists of two parts:

• TVOSApp = swift code
• Tvml = javascript code

Install

tvos native code

• You need to have xcode etc... setup to run tvos code (xcode 7+)
• Be sure to open up the xcodeproj
• install cocoapods (you need ruby for that)

cd TVOSApp
# Install the pods
pod install
open TVOSApp.xcodeproj

Install TVML The tvml build environment depends on nodejs. Make to sure to have it installed (hint: use nvm)

Now install all the dependencies:

cd Tvml
# Install the grunt plugin
npm install -g grunt-cli
# Install the necessary packages
npm install

Running

For Dev purposes

webpack loader: start the webpack dev server

cd Tvml
grunt #starts the webpack daemon on port 8080 & livereload on port 8001

this will watch your files (make sure to require them) and compile them on the fly

test output: start the testconsole listener for output

cd Tvml
node testconsole.js #opens up a socket.io server on 8002

simulator start the the tvos app in the simulator

safari 9 this allows for remote JS Context debugger in safari make sure you are on v9 otherwise it will not work

Prepare the app for production

needs it's own section

• change App name
• change BundleName
• change Icon
• point to production URL
• set correct Provisioning profile
• set correct Signing authority
• build using xcodebuild or xctool
• spinup simulator from CLI
• install via testflight
