    I was looking through the exporter in Buildbox and noticed that you can export to Apple TV - but there doesnt appear to be a guide on how to do this and/or best practice. Does anyone have any pointers or links or own experiences?

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I succesfully exported a test game to apple tv (4rd gen) using Xcode.
    Connect your apple tv with a usb-c cable and publish.
    Just a straightforward process same as testing for iphone.
    Good luck.

    Thanks for that. I was wondering if I needed to add any extra input or buttons on the game UI to make everything work?

    You dont have to put an extra controller. But there is no single solution on Buildbox to use controller fully. I mean using touch pad in portrait mode, assign function to the buttons on it etc.
    I preferred using just a single jump button for flappy bird style gaming.
    I think using apple tv controller with a landscape orientation and touchpad is not offer a user friendly experience.
    Probably next big thing for Buildbox on apple tv support can be full control oner tv controller and adding subscription based payment options.
