Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added tvOS support for NativeScript apps, including Apple TV project templates and Swift Package Manager distribution.
    • Added tvOS build, packaging, and release workflows for device and simulator targets.
    • Added a tvOS review application and validation tooling for runtime, Canvas, WebGL, and WebGPU functionality.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved tvOS compatibility for runtime error displays and platform-specific build settings.
  • Tests
    • Added automated checks for tvOS templates, package manifests, and integration behavior.

LorenzGit and others added 3 commits September 11, 2026 15:29
Same V8 build inputs as -7 plus the arm64-tvdevice and arm64-tvsimulator
variants (NativeScript/v8-buildscripts#8), which download_v8.sh --tvos
installs for the tvOS runtime build.
Wire tvOS into the same build → SwiftPM artifact → npm shape as iOS and
visionOS so the release workflow's tvos matrix leg can build, publish and
verify it:

- project-template-tvos/: the iOS template plus the tvOS build settings
  (appletvos SDK, TVOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 13.0, device family 3, no
  Catalyst) and the NativeScriptTvOS SwiftPM product. tests/tvos/template.py
  pins it to exactly that delta and runs both packaging stamps; it replaces
  the pack-time deriver (scripts/prepare-tvos-template.swift).
- build_all_tvos.sh / build_npm_tvos.sh mirror the vision scripts:
  --spm-mode embedded|remote, types/, build_spm_artifacts.sh tvos
  (NativeScript.tvos.xcframework.zip, checksums-tvos.env). V8_TVOS_BUILD
  still selects a source build; otherwise download_v8.sh --tvos installs
  the pinned release's tvOS slices.
- download_v8.sh: opt-in tvOS variants, a per-slice installed check, and a
  named error when a release lacks an asset (the grep|head pipeline used to
  exit silently under pipefail).
- libffi slices for arm64-appletvos / arm64-appletvsimulator are vendored
  like every other slice.
- generate-spm-manifest.mjs emits the tvOS product/targets when its
  checksums are present and requires them for non-next channels;
  resolve-release.mjs adds tvos to the non-next matrix; the publish job
  derives the package name from matrix.target.
- prepare_dSYMs.sh collects every slice, not only ios*.
- PR CI runs the template and manifest checks (tests/spm/manifest.py).

Validated locally against V8 v8-14.9.207.39-8: npm run build-tvos, a slice
audit (TVOS 13.0 / TVOSSIMULATOR 14.0), and an app assembled from the packed
tarball building for tvOS Simulator and device.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request adds tvOS support across runtime builds, XCFramework packaging, SwiftPM manifests, project templates, release workflows, and review tooling. It also adds tvOS-specific validation and updates runtime behavior for unsupported tvOS properties.

Changes

tvOS runtime and framework builds

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime and archive generation
build_*.sh, download_v8.sh, metadata-generator/*, v8ios.xcodeproj/*, V8_RELEASE

tvOS project template
project-template-tvos/*, spm-templates/local-spm-tvos/Package.swift
A tvOS Xcode template, bootstrap code, build scripts, entitlements, scheme, and local SwiftPM package are added.
Packaging and release integration
build_npm_tvos.sh, scripts/generate-spm-manifest.mjs, .github/workflows/npm_release.yml, scripts/resolve-release.mjs
tvOS npm and SwiftPM artifacts are packaged. Release manifests and matrices include tvOS for real releases.
Review and validation tooling

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6cf31

tvOS template consumers can lack NativeScript declarations, tvOS builds can use mismatched V8 libraries, and TestRunner builds can miss required frameworks and fixtures. Resolve these before merging.

Remove stale tvOS slices before updating .v8-release-stamp.

A normal iOS install excludes the tvOS entries from VARIANTS, so it does not replace or remove existing arm64-appletvos and arm64-appletvsimulator libraries. It then writes the new global release stamp. A later --tvos run checks only file existence, so old tvOS libraries can satisfy installed() and remain mixed with the new release. Remove unrequested slice directories on release change, or record and validate the installed variant set.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Check the value of TARGET_OS_WATCH.

TargetConditionals.h defines TARGET_OS_WATCH as 0 or 1. Therefore, #ifndef TARGET_OS_WATCH is false on tvOS, and the compiler omits both imports.

Use #if !TARGET_OS_WATCH so Swift code receives the NativeScript and NativeScriptStart declarations.

Proposed fix
-#ifndef TARGET_OS_WATCH
+#if !TARGET_OS_WATCH
     `#import` "NativeScript/NativeScript.h"
     `#import` "NativeScriptStart.h"
 `#endif`

Add tvOS to the TestRunner dependency and framework filters.

For appletvos and appletvsimulator, the NativeScript, TKLiveSync, and TestFixtures target dependencies are excluded by their ios, xros filters. The TKLiveSync.framework and NativeScript.framework link and embed entries use the same filters. TestRunner still passes -framework NativeScript through OTHER_LDFLAGS, but that flag does not build or embed the framework. TKLiveSync has no equivalent unfiltered input.

TestFixtures supports only iOS and XR platforms, while TestRunner force-loads its platform-specific libTestFixtures.a output. The output can therefore be absent for a tvOS build.

Extend the dependency and framework filters to include appletvos and appletvsimulator. Enable those platforms for TestFixtures, including its tvOS target settings. Disabling tvOS for TestRunner is the alternative complete correction.
