It's probably not another OS in the traditional sense, but a different set of ObjC/Swift frameworks that are TV / set-top box relevant

- guelo 11y agoHere it mentions XML and Javascript which is, um... different. https://developer.apple.com/tvos/ https://developer.apple.com/tvos/
- pkaler 11y agoI'm not sure what you're trying to point out. It looks like TVMLJS is the framework that the current set of "Apps" are built with. They're basically dashboard widgets that display XML and Javascript. https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/tvos/releasenotes/General/tvOS90APIDiffs/JavaScript/TVMLJS.html https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/tvos/releasen... There looks like there is a TVMLKit which looks like AppKit and UIKit. https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/tvos/releasenotes/General/tvOS90APIDiffs/Objective-C/TVMLKit.html https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/tvos/releasen...
- chkuendig 11y agoI think its pretty clear from that page: - You can use all the iOS Frameworks you know and like to build/port your full-fledged apps for apple TV - You can build simple apps ("ideal for streaming media") with XML/JS. This means everybody can hack something together to get their online video onto the apple TV (video bloggers, local tv stations etc), but obviously for more complex stuff (e.g. games) you'd use the usual frameworks from iOS.
