Includes tvOS 26 code examples for Liquid Glass buttons/tab bars and focus-state-driven scale effects.

Best practices: size UI elements to be readable from 10 feet, give clear visual focus feedback, keep navigation depth minimal, design remote-friendly gestures, optimize for media-first content, and support user switching.

tvOS Platform

tvOS-specific development for Apple TV living room experiences.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, spawn 3 agents in parallel, one Agent call each with a name:

1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing tvOS patterns
2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest tvOS 26 docs via Context7/Exa
3. mcp__apple-docs__search_apple_docs - Check tvOS patterns

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.

Overview

When to Use

• Building Apple TV applications
• Video and audio streaming
• Focus-based navigation
• Siri Remote interactions
• Multi-user experiences
• Game controller support

Why tvOS Skill

tvOS 26 Features

Liquid Glass on TV

Button("Watch Now") { }
    .buttonStyle(.bordered)
    .glassEffect(.regular)  // Glass effect on focus

TabView {
    // Tab bar with Liquid Glass
}

Focus System

struct ContentView: View {
    @FocusState private var focused: Bool

    var body: some View {
        Button("Play") { }
            .focused($focused)
            .scaleEffect(focused ? 1.1 : 1.0)
    }
}
