I has just bought a Sony Bravia Internet TV. And as a developer (just web back end developer), I want to try to develop an app for my TV. But, I cannot find any tutorial or introduction about how to develop an app for Sony Bravia TV, excepts Sony Google TV and a Javascript SDK for Japanese. Unluckily, I don't know Japanese.
Is there any English Tutorial Sony Bravia TV Development?
Maybe you rate down for this dummy question. But, it is need for me. :)

On the remote control, press the HOME button. Select the Google Play store app in the Apps category. Note: For Android™ 8.0 and some Android 9 models: If Google Play store is not in the Apps category, select Apps, and then select Google Play store or Get more apps.
Enable “Unknown Sources” – In the Security and Restrictions menu of Settings. Install “Sideload Launcher – Android TV” in order to run the apps you have sideloaded. This is available from Googles Play store : HERE. Some sideloaded apps have the orientation fixed to either Portrait or Landscape.
Sonyfy is designed specifically to control Sony Smart TVs powered by Android TV. The remote control app offers a wide range of buttons that are available on a physical remote control, an easy to use touchpad for navigation through the content and a list of apps installed on TV.
You can develop apps under the Opera TV Store as Tonni suggested. But your app won't be available on your TV homescreen like the other native apps (Media player, YouTube, etc).
If you develop the app under Opera TV store, then you'll have to open the Opera store app first and then find your app under the "My Apps" section. Using this method, you can create HTML5 based apps, where you have to host the HTML pages on an external server. There is no device SDK and you can't take advantage of the native functionalities.
If only there is a way to create native apps similar to YouTube and Skype have done already, then it will be better and we can take advantage of the native features like playing AVI or FLV files.
