Best practices
Prefer using standard gestures to perform standard actions.
Be consistent with the tvOS focus experience.
Provide clear feedback that shows people what happens when they make gestures in your app.
Define new gestures only when it makes sense in your app.
Differentiate between press and tap, and avoid responding to an inadvertent tap.
Consider using the position of a tap to aid with navigation or gameplay.
In almost all cases, open the parent of the current screen when people press the Back button.
Respond correctly to the Play/Pause button during media playback.
Gestures
Swipe.
Press.
Compatible remotes
If your live-viewing app provides an EPG, respond to a remote’s EPG-browsing buttons in ways people expect.
While your content plays, respond to a compatible remote’s “page up” or “page down” button by changing the channel.
