React Native on the Apple TV Platform
summary
React Native builds run on Apple TV with code merged into Facebook master and working in releases 0.43+ with CI testing; there is no webview or persistent documents directory so Cordova-style ports fail. Input uses the tv focus engine routed through a new react-tv-view class and touchables; parallax is exposed via TV parallax properties. Grid lists must set removedClippedSubviews=false or focus and scrolling break. Media playback works via react-native-media and many RN UI libraries (victory-native) render unchanged.
