summary
A Flutter movie-gallery is built and proven to run on Android TV and Fire TV with no changes, to run on Apple TV after building a custom engine fork and minor Xcode changes, and to build for Tizen using Samsung’s Flutter Tizen CLI; the talk shows focus/navigation implemented with a focusable widget and keyboard events and adds a platform channel for Apple TV touchpad swipes using a 250px swipe threshold. Plugin support varies: Android works, Tizen lists 24 extensions, Apple often requires plugin forks.
