tvOS Web Browser sample project (Private API)

tvOS Browser

Web browser for tvOS using private API (aka UIWebView).

To build successfully, you'll need to change 2 lines in Availability.h starting around line 280:

• Availability.h for the AppleTV: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/AppleTVOS.sdk/usr/include/Availability.h
• Availability.h for the AppleTV Simulator: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/AppleTVSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/AppleTVSimulator.sdk/usr/include/Availability.h Change:

/* for use marking APIs available info for tvOS */
#if defined(__has_feature)
  #if __has_feature(attribute_availability_tvos)
-   #define __TVOS_UNAVAILABLE                    __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,unavailable)
-   #define __TVOS_PROHIBITED                     __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,unavailable)
+   #define __TVOS_UNAVAILABLE_NOTQUITE           __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,unavailable) /* changed for https://github.com/jvanakker/tvOSBrowser */
+   #define __TVOS_PROHIBITED_NOTQUITE            __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,unavailable) /* changed for https://github.com/jvanakker/tvOSBrowser */
    #define __TVOS_AVAILABLE(_vers)               __OS_AVAILABILITY(tvos,introduced=_vers)
    #define __TVOS_DEPRECATED(_start, _dep, _msg) __TVOS_AVAILABLE(_start) __OS_AVAILABILITY_MSG(tvos,deprecated=_dep,_msg)
  #endif
#endif

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