Exception When Using tvOS TVTopShelfContentProvider #13260
Description
With tvOS version 13+ Apple releases new Top Shelf capabilities (display in full screen, etc) and deprecated many of the existing Top Shelf classes. When creating a new tvOS app in Xamarin it's still using the older deprecated way. In trying to use the new classes I've run into an exception show below.
This appears to be address in the Stack Overflow article.
Updating the value in the Info.plist is trivial, but I don't see a way to update the productType from com.apple.product-type.tv-app-extension to com.apple.product-type.app-extension.
I have a working sample in XCode that when I change the productType back to the old value generates the same exception (show below).
It seems to me then all I need to do is know how to change the productType value in Xamarin and I should be set.
Any thoughts on how to change this value?
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new Xamarin tvOS app
- Add a Service Extension for Top Shelf
- Update the provided code to use
TVTopShelfContentProvider(my humble initial stab is below, note it's untested due to the issue above).
Expected Behavior
Would be able to use the new TVTopShelfContentProvider provided in tvOS 13.
Actual Behavior
Limited to using deprecated older style Top Shelf.
