    Untick 'Stick to Edge' which is on many images. TV must work, as @Chris Goodman released a game and was featured on the App Store just last weekend.

    @whitedogapp don't use the test emulator on Xcode you need to build onto the twos device i had to do some edits as physics worked slight differently but worked fine for me.

    For the moment portrait games will not work well on tvOS due to the aspect ratio. We will be addressing at some point after the official 2.0 release.

    @telerebor i was lucky with my game as it's literally left or right and when I exported to tvos it literally just worked for me so didn't have to do any edits

    @Chris Goodman thanks I was able to get it to work. I also noted that the play button on the remote acts as the jump button.

    How menu selection works on tvOS? I could not figure out how can one select character and touch on buttons on Main or game end menu. As i stuck in there could not figure out if touch pad can be used as joystick or accelerometer works as expected? Can you use tap to jump instead of play button? So many questions :)

    @trudnai From what I've learnt during testing:
    1.Touch pad can only be used for left and right movement.(note sometimes we were able to get the swiping up to make the character jump but it was very unreliable and worked only 10% of the time)
    2.The play button on the remote can be used for jump.
    3.The menu button acts as a pause button.
    4.On the menu screen and game over screen all you have to do is use the touch pad to move left and right to highlight a button and click down the touch pad to select a button. That being said we could only get 2 buttons to be selected on the menu and game over screens.
    5.The character selection does not work for tvOS :(
    6.I will test out the accelerometer function later today and get back to you on that.

    Thank @telerebor, greatly appreciated. To be honest I tried it out only on the simulator where menu selection did not work at all and then gave it up. Maybe I need to test it on my Apple TV itself. Thanks again!

    Hi @telerebor -

    Yes that does not work for BB1. Maybe it would work for BB2 but right now I couldn't get it to work.
