![]() ![]() The development tool used for the Samsung Smart TV apps is called Tizen Studio. Don’t trust the Tizen Studio simulator, test on physical devices If you take these into consideration, you will save yourself a significant amount of time, money and frustrations. ![]() The initial impression of an “easy HTML5 browser app” causes many issues if you are not aware of the nature of the platform and the work it takes to get from DONE on the development environment to LAUNCHED on the actual physical devices.įor that reason, we have compiled a short list of tips (in no particular order) to be aware of before you embark on a Samsung Smart TV app project. I am sorry to tell you that nothing could be further from the truth.Īs a Product Manager, you want to be able to budget the right amount of time and resources for development, testing, certification process and maintenance of your app. That sounds like a quick project, “build once and run on any browser”. If you read the documentation about it, you will get the impression that you just have to build a simple HTML5 browser app… easy!. If I had to describe Tizen in the OTT apps space, I would say it is “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”. Unlike the app platforms operated by Apple, Google, and Amazon, the Samsung / Tizen platform is less known by the developer community, has less up-to-date documentation available and relies on more manual (less automated) certification and app release processes. I want to share some tips we have learned the-hard-way while developing apps for Tizen, the operating system of Samsung Smart TVs. But what about apps that run directly on the TV such as Samsung Smart TV? If you are a Digital Product Manager or Lead Developer in charge of video streaming apps, you probably have worked on your company’s OTT apps for the most popular platforms like Apple TV, FireTV and Roku. ![]()
