tvOS Web Browser sample project (Private API)

tvOS Browser

Web browser for tvOS using private API (aka UIWebView). You'll need to redefine the following in Availability.h to build successfully.

Availability.h for the AppleTV is located in Xcode>Contents>Developer>Platforms>AppleTVOS.platform>Developer>SDKs>AppleTVOS.sdk>usr>include
Availability.h for the AppleTV Simulator is located in Xcode>Contents>Developer>Platforms>AppleTVSimulator.platform>Developer>SDKs>AppleTVSimulator.sdk>usr>include

Change:

#define __TVOS_UNAVAILABLE                    __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,unavailable)
#define __TVOS_PROHIBITED                     __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,unavailable)

To:

#define __TVOS_UNAVAILABLE_NOTQUITE                    __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,unavailable)
#define __TVOS_PROHIBITED_NOTQUITE                     __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,unavailable)

Do this for Availability.h for both simulator and device if you want to run it on the real hardware.
