Expo Router TV demo 👋

This is an Expo project created with create-expo-app.

This project uses

• the React Native TV fork, which supports both phone (Android and iOS) and TV (Android TV and Apple TV) targets
• the React Native TV config plugin to allow Expo prebuild to modify the project's native files for TV builds

🚀 How to use

• cd into the project

• For TV development:

yarn
yarn prebuild:tv # Executes clean Expo prebuild with TV modifications
yarn ios # Build and run for Apple TV
yarn android # Build for Android TV

• For mobile development:

yarn
yarn prebuild # Executes Expo prebuild with no TV modifications
yarn ios # Build and run for iOS
yarn android # Build for Android mobile

• For web development:

yarn web # Run the project on web from localhost

NOTE: Setting the environment variable EXPO_TV=1 enables the @react-native-tvos/config-tv plugin to modify the project for TV. This can also be done by setting the parameter isTV to true in the app.json.

Development

You can start developing by editing the files inside the app directory. This project uses file-based routing.

This project includes a demo showing how to use React Native TV APIs to highlight controls as the user navigates the screen with the remote control.
