Hey @samuel.bsky.team I just flipped supportsTablet to true on main and built the app -- iPad looks pretty good so far. Curious what the issues are, and whether I can help!

TFW a popular movie gets something right about computer security (2FA)

Older sister: “If they spy on me, they’re gonna spy on you too.”

Younger brother: “I’d like to see them try. All of my stuff requires two-factor authentication.”

Older sister: “God, you are such a nerd.”

Younger brother: “A nerd whose parents can’t spy on him.”

I believe this is an example of "kissing the ring" (a.k.a. "bending the knee")

This Thanksgiving, please spare a kind thought for me as I attempt to carefully apply TV patches to RN 0.77 Android files that have been rewritten in Kotlin and moved around.... :D

Good news, the bar now stretches correctly. Bad news, a serious rendering bug has been introduced. When I go back to the first tab, the contents of the third tab are also rendered.

Apple TV fun: Testing @expo.dev SDK 52 beta, RNTV 0.76, Expo Router, and the latest react-native-bottom-tabs (which uses UITabBar so appears on top for Apple TV). New arch is enabled of course 👍

Suddenly there are a LOT of downloads of React Native TV 0.73 (specifically 0.73.6-0) over the last few weeks.... 🤔

Did some work to clean up all the React Native for TV published versions in NPM: - Mark old prereleases deprecated - Remove old tags - Add new tags to align with the system used in RN core (0.75-stable, 0.74-stable, latest, next, etc.)
