Hello,
I am new to Apple TV Development. I am researching if it would be possible to develop a tvOS App for IPTV that consumes content entirely from an API in the local network (I have domain such as sampleserver.com that points to a local network IP such as 192.168.1.10 ) and also plays back m3u8 HLS sources (live and VOD) produced in that local network server. No content comes from the cloud. Here are my questions:
- Would Apple approve this kind of app in the App Store? Or will Apple ask me to instead deploy this as a "Custom App" with Apple Business Manager and an MDM server?
- Is there an App Builder technology that fits better for this use case, such as TVML?
- If this app is published in the App Store and a user that is not in that local network, is there a guideline from Apple that I should follow to let the user know that he does not have access to the local content?
