It may look like a simple interface, but this was a big lift under the hood. And the benefit to developers is clear: no special SDK for TV; just use the same Play Core API to prompt for in-app ratings and reviews on #GoogleTV!

[Android Developers @AndroidDev]

We're bringing the In-App Ratings and Reviews API to TV! 📺
You can now prompt users for feedback directly on the platform, and get valuable qualitative and quantitative info about your app.

@British_Airways In case you're unaware, updating advanced passenger information (APIS) is no longer working. It triggers a login loop.

@jmechner I remember seeing this being demoed at a big box store (I want to say Circuit City) and realizing it was running on an Apple ][. We had an Compaq IBM compatible at home at the time and I was so jealous! I must have played it for an hour in the store.

[Paul Lammertsma @officesunshine]

@tim_rijckaert @joreilly Oh boy! Now I'll need to remember the socials!

[Paul Lammertsma @officesunshine]

@tim_rijckaert @joreilly Terrific feedback. We're aware of the challenges with focus and I'm eager to hear your thoughts on how this can be dramatically improved. I've struggled with it as well (and the samples exhibit their own problems)

[Paul Lammertsma @officesunshine]

@tim_rijckaert @joreilly Please reach out to me so I can better understand your issues here.

[Paul Lammertsma @officesunshine]

@tim_rijckaert @joreilly Now with the beta, these scroll containers are where they belong: in compose-foundation, and you won't need the "Tv" prefix anymore. Stay tuned for a blog post with more details.

[Paul Lammertsma @officesunshine]

@tim_rijckaert @joreilly I understand your frustration with this, and our goal was never to build it this way. We needed to move fast and break things, and during the alpha, TV dedicated scroll containers were the only way we could release back in 2022.

[Paul Lammertsma @officesunshine]

@BladeCoder For me, this slide was was the main takeaway: Compose is now for ALL form factors. I'm very excited about having Compose for TV now in beta!

[Paul Lammertsma @officesunshine]
