Will Apple TV be getting cloud login options like iOS?

Postby yairmarx » 11 Mar 2022 20:59

Apologies if this was asked before, I tried searching, but couldnt find anything.

Will we be able to login to a cloud provider on apple tv, like we can on iOS?

Thanks

Indeed I implemented support for this in 2015, which worked great at an experimental stage. However, there is no way to do the OAuth2 workflow required by all cloud storage providers directly on Apple TV without a companion iPhone or iPad, so we never shipped it.
