We’ve been talking about building mobile and web apps with React Native for quite a while. How about we touch on yet another space that can be transformed with this technology: TV. To do that, Łukasz (who, by the way, has been a part of a TV project for a while) invited two guests with first-hand experience in React Native TV app development:
- Yusuf Yildirim — Technical Lead at XITE
- Karol Latusek — Software Engineer collaborating with Callstack
From the challenges posed by disparate hardware capabilities in TVs to the unique focus management solutions, they navigate through the intricacies of unified codebases for various TV platforms. Our experts also explore the potential future of TV app development, including exciting developments from Expo in supporting TV platforms.
What TV app development with React Native is all about
- Current state of the TV development space and the challenges posed by the variety of available devices to platforms
