tvOS swift ui

At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several updates and features for developing tvOS apps using SwiftUI. The session titled "Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI" focused on transitioning from TVML to SwiftUI for building rich, fully-featured media catalog and streaming apps on tvOS. Here are some key points from the session:

• Deprecation of TVML: Apple is officially deprecating TVML, encouraging developers to use SwiftUI for building tvOS apps. SwiftUI provides a more flexible and feature-rich environment for app development on Apple TV.

• Unified Development: SwiftUI allows developers to share code across multiple Apple platforms, including iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS. This makes it easier to develop apps that work seamlessly across different devices.

• New Features in tvOS 18: SwiftUI in tvOS 18 introduces new features like a floating sidebar, which is now available system-wide, and new tab view APIs that allow for different types of content representation, such as switching between tab bar and sidebar views.

• Design and Interaction: The session covered how to create familiar lockups used by Apple apps like Music and TV, and how to assemble flowing shelves of content. It also demonstrated how to create interactive elements like buttons with specific styles for tvOS.

• Search Functionality: The session highlighted the importance of search in content delivery services and demonstrated how to implement a search interface using SwiftUI's new expressive and type-safe syntax for assembling tab views.
