Apple yesterday introduced the new operating system tvOS pro Apple TV, which brings quite a lot of relief for developers. Apple indeed, until now, he insisted that developers must support Apple TV Remote, i.e. remote control for Apple Tvwhich is included in the package. ProThe problem, however, was that all games and applications had to support this controller, even those for which the standard controller was not very suitable and developers needed gamepads to play them.
Apple however, he gave support Apple TV Remote directly into the application approval conditions for Apple TV and so the developers could do nothing but at least somehow support the driver to meet the requirements Applu. Yesterday, however Apple next to beta version of the new tvOS also released support documents for the new version of tvOS which states the following: “When designing games for tvOS, you may require the use of an MFI game controller, but if possible, you should also support Siri Apple TV Remote”.
Apple so he modified his rhetoric and instead of demanding Apple TV Remote now recommends its support. This will make developers' work easier, especially when developing games that simply cannot be controlled without a Gamepad. Apple TV The remote with its four buttons simply can't handle them. Developers are forced to support Apple TV Remote users complained that it was impossible to use the controller to control more complex games that required finer movements for precise control.
On the one hand, they will have the opportunity to Apple TV App Store to show more interesting applications and games that are more difficult to control, but on the other hand, for us users, this means that we may encounter a game that we simply cannot play anymore unless we have a special Gamepad.
