There is less left for the new Apple TV to be launched next week which will arrive with the ability to download applications through an App Store dedicated to this device. For this reason, Apple has been sending emails to developers since yesterday, Wednesday, requesting that the applications that are already prepared be sent for review after testing in the Golden Master version of tvOS.
This call to developers by Apple has become "daily" after the Golden Master version releases from other systems, even so this time there is a very particular point and that is that there are only three days left before a dedicated App Store is launched will debut with the new Apple TV And it seems fair enough that all applications can be tested and approved for release day.
If we stop to read the email, it encourages developers to create their applications using Xcode version 7.1 GM, which includes the TVOS SDK, and to carry out testing with the TVOS GM version. The company also suggests developers to ask for feedback from testers (this point is limited to other programmers who were lucky enough to get a development kit since the device is not for sale), all through the TestFlight program. .
In addition to the email, Apple has published an application submission guide on the developer's website with links to downloads and other informational resources. Topics covered include from the application icon and the optimization of the design until how to prepare the presentation page of the product in the store, even the establishment of a launch date.
Apple has also made it clear that applications that go into review will be rejected if they are not compatible. with Multi-touch function remote control, this being an essential requirement.
