Add my app to tvOS app settings screen

Question

How do you add app settings to tvOS like you do in iOS. I assume that just like iOS the screen below, you can add the settings for your own application

Answer 1

There isn't a Settings Bundle in tvOS section in Xcode, but you can select the Settings Bundle from iOS section, it's a bit tricky but it definitely works.

1. File -> New -> File

2. iOS -> Resource -> Settings Bundle

3. Edit your Bundle Settings plist

4. Build and Run

N.B. tvOS and Xcode 7.1 now is in beta, maybe Apple will add "Settings Bundle" item in tvOS section in the stable release.

Answer 2

tvOS Settings bundle is now available in the tvOS resources section:

As @pakizip explains, add this to your project and edit the Settings bundle plist file to add custom settings.
