🚨 Cannot Start tvOS Project - Complete Setup Failure

[mtshv]

📋 Issue Summary

🚫 BLOCKING ISSUE: The example project is completely unusable for tvOS development

The tvOS example project cannot be built, started, or run on Apple TV devices/simulators due to multiple critical configuration issues:

1. ❌ CANNOT RUN: Incorrect tvOS scheme name causes immediate build failure
2. ❌ CANNOT BUILD: Missing tvOS build target when using recommended prebuild command
3. ❌ CANNOT CONFIGURE: Splash screen compatibility breaks tvOS target creation
4. ❌ CANNOT FOLLOW: Zero documentation for tvOS setup process

Result: This tvOS example is completely broken and unusable 🔥

🔍 Current Problems

1. Package.json Script Issue

Current script:

"tvos": "expo run:ios --scheme VideoTV-tvOS --device \"Apple TV\""

Error:

xcodebuild: error: The workspace named "VideoTV" does not contain a scheme named "VideoTV-tvOS"

2. EXPO_TV=1 Prebuild Issues

When running EXPO_TV=1 expo prebuild --clean:

✅ Generates iOS project structure
❌ Missing tvOS target configuration
❌ Splash screen storyboard incompatible with tvOS when manually adding tvOS target

🔧 Expected Behavior

• ✅ yarn tvos should successfully build and run the app on Apple TV Simulator
• ✅ EXPO_TV=1 expo prebuild --clean should generate proper tvOS project structure
• ✅ Documentation should explain tvOS setup process
