how to hide player's ui on apple tv

To hide the player's UI on Apple TV, you can follow the general principles of designing for full-screen experiences and managing UI elements as discussed in the session "Design advanced games for Apple platforms" at WWDC 2024. Here are some key points to consider:

Full-Screen Design: Ensure that your game takes advantage of the entire screen, avoiding any unnecessary UI elements that might clutter the display. This can be achieved by designing a full-screen gaming experience and keeping safe areas in mind to avoid overlapping with hardware or software features.
Adaptive Layouts: Design an adaptive game interface that scales across different screen sizes and aspect ratios. This will help in making sure that the UI elements are appropriately placed and can be hidden or shown as needed.
Testing on Real Devices: Test your game on actual devices to ensure that the UI behaves correctly and can be hidden or shown as intended. This will give you a better sense of how your game's UI looks and behaves on Apple TV.
