tvOS Web Browser sample project (Private API)

tvOS Browser

Very simplistic browser for tvOS using private API (aka UIWebView). This is about as complete as this project is ever going to get, so just treat it as sample code.

You'll need to redefine the following in Availability.h to build successfully.

__TVOS_UNAVAILABLE
__TVOS_PROHIBITED

How to Use

Tap the top of the touch area on the Apple TV Remote to switch between cursor & scroll mode.

Click the touch area to click.

Menu will navigate back.

The Play/Pause button will let you input URLs (no fuzzy matching or auto-search).

tvosbrowser's Issues

Hitting the play/pause button shows more options

Can we have a list of recently visited websites here?
That would save a lot of time on frequently visited websites.
an option to 'star' a visited website to pin it to the top of the list. (sort of like a bookmark) would be nice as well.
also the option to star the current URL.
in the keyboard section, is there a way to add the keyboard that has .com as one of the buttons?
I think that's the email keyboard. (but i'm not so sure)

Broken in tvOS 10.1?

tvOSBrowser no longer launches on Apple TV 4 after tvOS 10.1 upgrade.

Videos don't play

When attempting to load a .mp4 file (which works fine in iOS), you see the little Play icon, but it doesn't actually play the video when you click it. I have verified that HTML5 audio elements play correctly, but video does not.

App becomes unavailable after a few days

I modified and installed the browser app and it worked great! But it becomes unavailable after a few days. Any clue on what the cause is?

Cannot log in to Discord

When i type my email and password, then click on the “login” button, my mail and password disappears and Discord says “wrong password or email”

I've extracted from TCA's [#1086](https://github.com/pointfreeco/swift-composable-architecture/issues/1086) the following minimal suite that doesn't pass when built in `Release` mode:

I've extracted from TCA's #1086 the following minimal suite that doesn't pass when built in Release mode:

import CasePaths
import XCTest

public enum RootAction: Equatable {
  case branch(BranchAction)
//  case noop // Add this and extraction succeeds
}

public enum BranchAction: Equatable {
  case firstAction(Bool)
  case secondAction(Bool)
  case leaf(LeafAction) // Remove this and extraction succeeds
}

public enum LeafAction: Equatable {
  case value(Value) // Or case value(Any) with explicit `Equatable` conformance.
}

public struct Value: Equatable {
  var value: Any
  public static func == (lhs: Value, rhs: Value) -> Bool { true }
}

class CasePathIssueTests: XCTestCase {
  func testFirst() throws {
    XCTAssertEqual(
      (/RootAction.branch).extract(from: .branch(.firstAction(true))),
      .firstAction(true)
    )
  }
  func testSecond() throws {
    XCTAssertEqual(
      (/RootAction.branch).extract(from: .branch(.secondAction(true))),
      .secondAction(true)
    )
  }
}

A few comments:

• It passes in Debug mode
• If .firstAction has no associated value, it becomes the one that fails to extract, and second passes.

I'm not knowledgeable enough with runtime and the intricacies of the extraction algorithm to fix this issue.

Certain websites dont allow cursor

When I try to go to our dashboard on powerbi.microsoft.com, I am unable to get the cursor to show up so I can login to the page. Is this caused by a script running on the site that is preventing the cursor from working? Is there a fix for this?

Thanx

Own HTTPS Certificate not working

Hello,

we're using a internal Site which has a force redirect to HTTPS for security reasons.
This site has a HTTPS Certificate which is issued by our own Domain Controller so the tvOS Browser isn't recognizing it as "trusted". We can't open this site this way.

Is there a way to modify the source code to bypass this behaviour?

3 Build Errors

Hi, I'm new in programming and I tried to build the TV browser and after following all steps, I still have those errors:

TABS TABS TABS

I need tabs to use this browser otherwise will be useless. Why we cannot open at least 5/10 tabs?

Changes to Availability.h

Could you please elaborate on how to redefine __TVOS_UNAVAILABLE
and __TVOS_PROHIBITED in Availability.h?
I've located the Availability.h file but not sure what to change.
I tried setting them to 'available' as below but that globally enables everything and caused too many errors.

#define __TVOS_UNAVAILABLE                    __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,unavailable)
#define __TVOS_PROHIBITED                     __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,unavailable)

Keyboard needs work

The on-screen keyboard rarely pops up when entering text on websites. More specifically, Facebook and twitter. Also videos could use some work. Really good app overall though.

Issue with opening on AppleTV 4k on TvOS 11.4

When opening on the new TvOS, the application shakes and refuses to open.

mouse movement

can we change cursor movement to something similar to the trackpad?
I find the current behaviour rather odd and hard to get used to.
(i'm not a developer so please don't hate on me :) )

Totally useless!

It is not linked with tvOS at all!

UIActionSheetDelegate is unavailable: not available on tvOS

I'm getting this error after I've changed tvOS definitions in Availability.h

I'm using Xcode 11.6 (11E708)

Could not build module 'UIKit'

I'm getting these errors when trying to build to an Apple TV 4K (2nd generation):

Website not compatible

Hi!

I am using a website called dtsv.co.za to stream their online content. I have the browser working on the apple tv, but when it comes to playing the content, I get this:

The following browsers are supported for online streaming:

Chrome version 35+
Firefox version 47+
Internet Explorer 11+ on Windows 8.1+
Microsoft Edge on Windows 10+
Safari 9+ on Mac OS X 10.11+
Opera 33+ on Windows 10+

Is there anyway to change the user agent or something to allow the content to play?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Courtney

Tabs? Cycle through tabs?

Hello,

We'd love to leverage this to cycle through tabs. Is there any way to add this functionality?

Gray border around web view

After following the instructions to load the app, everything worked and Google.com showed up but the browser was down and to the the right of top left. It almost appears as if a thick gray border is around the web view. I've experimented with full screen but it appears that full screen is already set but the border is preventing it.

I'm in XCode 9.2 running on Apple TV (not the 4K version).

App won't open on Apple TV

I've been running the app in almost a year. But in December it stopped working. I can't seem to open the app. When I try to open it, it just closes straight away.

Do you guys know if there's any issues with the latest update? Not sure the update is what caused it.

'UIWebView' has been explicitly marked unavailable

Hello,
I am getting to following issues. It looks like something has changed on the tvOS side?

loading:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/AppleTVSimulator9.2.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/Headers/UIWebView.h:40:58: 'UIWebView' has been explicitly marked unavailable

App Crash

when opening stream url the app crash
-[AVPlayerLayer setPIPModeEnabled:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x1c022b240

App Crash tvOS 16

The app crashes on an Apple TV 4K (1st gen) since the update to tvOS 16 as soon as you want to play a video. Before that it worked without problems

New tvOS 11 Update

After buying a new Apple TV, it is running tvOS 11. The click once to click on a link no longer works. Can go to website but cannot do anything after that

Fullscreen video is missing

Hi, I like the app, it is great. However, one important thing is missing, fullscreen mode for videos. If this was added to the app it would be improved by a lot. I think the youporn viewer app ( https://github.com/kimiko88/Tvos-YouPornViewer ) has implemented fullscreen quite nicely.

Thanks in advance
