BYOA (Bring Your Own App) to the Big Screen
Workshop
In this hands-on session we'll show you how to take a React Native, web, or Android app and launch it for multi-TV. Our starter samples include core features such as D-pad focus, ten-foot layout, and recommended libraries. You share one code base across Vega OS, Android TV, Web, and Apple TV, & add platform specific dependencies for Fire TV to optimize for the Amazon Appstore which reaches hundreds of millions of devices.
We’ll dive into our latest AI builder tools and you'll walk out with your app ready for TVs and a path to keep learning.
Note: Prior TV app experience is not required
