Developing Apple TV app that consumes Local Server

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:

  1. 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?
  2. Is there an App Builder technology that fits better for this use case, such as TVML?
  3. 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?
