Why porting an iOS App to tvOS does not work?

Question

I am trying to port my iOS application to tvOS. I followed step explained here to create a new target for tvOS. On compilation I get following error

iOS xibs do not support target device type "tv"

Do I have to make change in xib or create new UI from scratch for tvOS?

Answer 1

iOS xibs and storyboards are not supported on tvOS. However, you can tweak them manually to make them work.

[...] One of the biggest limitations is that the tvOS project will not even compile if there are iOS XIBs or storyboards present.

Here is a nice tutorial that might solve your problem.
