There are a lot of advantages to port React Native applications into Apple TV: many apps built in React Native for iOS can work on Apple TV with just a few changes. However, there are important differences between iOS and tvOS that need to be understood before building a React Native tvOS application. Douglas Lowder explains all the hurdles he had to overcome. He also demonstrates how to customize parallax animations, how to add a custom handler for the TV remote control, and UI tips. At the end of the talk, he shows the work currently being done to make React Native work on Android TV as well.
