Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming tvOS 17 beta to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming two weeks after Apple introduced the second beta.

Registered developers are able to download the tvOS 17 update by opting in to the beta through the Settings app on the Apple TV. A registered developer account is required.

tvOS updates don't typically garner as much attention as updates to iOS and macOS, and are never as feature rich, but tvOS 17 brings FaceTime to the TV for the first time. The Apple TV 4K can connect to an iPhone or iPad that serves as the camera, with the FaceTime interface showing up on the TV's screen.

All of the FaceTime features are available, including Center Stage to keep you front and center, plus there are new gesture-based reactions that let you use your hands to generate on-screen effects. For example, if you make a heart with your hands, the screen will display hearts.

Split View for Apple TV lets users watch television with friends and family using SharePlay, and there are controls for transferring calls between the TV and an iPhone or iPad as needed. Third-party apps like Zoom will also be able to take advantage of this functionality, so those apps will also work on the TV screen.

Control Center on Apple TV has been revamped and it is easier for users to access key settings and information, plus there is a new feature that allows the iPhone to locate a Siri Remote that's been misplaced.

tvOS also features a range of new aerial screen savers, adds support for third-party VPN apps, introduces Dolby Vision 8.1 on compatible devices, and more. Details can be found in our Apple TV roundup.

Maybe this will fix some of my HomeKit issues. All my hunter fans stop working when the AppleTV I have running 17 is connected. When it’s disconnected and the other AppleTV is connected, no issues at all.

Happy to report that this update appears to fix MLB TV, which has been broken since beta 1.

I really like my Hunter fan. I have it setup in the master and an automation to come on when I start shutting down the house for the night. Siri responds well to light commands and fan commands.

I wish Apple would give the AppleTV a "Subtitles" button instead of having to fish around the interface in each app for exactly where and how you turn on subtitles. I know it would require working with each streaming service and getting each app to work consistently, but it would really help, especially nowadays with so much foreign content (as well as mumblecore content!)... And please make typing in the search not such a pain. Why is the alphabet spread horizontally across the entire screen?

Why not use Siri to turn subtitles on and off? As well as search. It works well for me.

I generally always use dictation when searching for something (it generally works very well) or I use the keyboard on my iPhone, which will pop up automatically when you click on search.

You can also pull up the keyboard yourself through the remote app and use all the features of the physical remote. On your iPhone, just search remote and it will show up, and it is in "Control Center" by default, I believe. If not you can easily add it in Settings-->Control Center-->Apple TV Remote.

FaceTime on Apple TV​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: Guest Pairing doesn’t work if Apple TV is connected via Ethernet. (107163191)
  • Fixed: If a phone is already a Connected Camera, answering a FaceTime call on that phone and then moving to Apple TV might result in a dropped call. (107187159)
  • Fixed: Cannot handoff a call that has a FaceTime link on the Apple TV. FaceTime on tvOS will crash. (108109894)
  • Fixed: Moving the FaceTime call from Apple TV to iPhone by tapping “Switch to phone” might result in a dropped call. (108810085)
  • Fixed: Moving from Split View to PIP during a call on Apple TV results in video being lost and privacy indicator not showing correct state. (109537754)
  • Fixed: Moving call from iPhone to Apple TV can result in failure in congested network environments. (109841121)

Known Issues​

Maps​

Known Issues​

  • When using Map, Xcode emits a runtime warning that “Publishing changes from within view updates is not allowed.” (106174743)

NetworkExtension​

Deprecations​

  • Algorithms DES, 3DES, SHA1-96 and SHA1-160 as well as Diffie-Hellman groups less than 14 are deprecated for IKEv2 VPNs. (109427094)
  • The enum values NEVPNIKEv2EncryptionAlgorithmDES, NEVPNIKEv2EncryptionAlgorithm3DES, NEVPNIKEv2IntegrityAlgorithmSHA96, NEVPNIKEv2IntegrityAlgorithmSHA160, NEVPNIKEv2DiffieHellmanGroup1, NEVPNIKEv2DiffieHellmanGroup2, and NEVPNIKEv2DiffieHellmanGroup5 in NEVPNProtocolIKEv2.h will be deprecated. (109680935)

Networking​

New Features​

  • iPhone and iPad devices running iOS 17 beta support joining wired 802.1X networks. Apple TV devices running tvOS 17 beta also support joining wired 802.1X networks. (12867782)
  • URLSession supports resumable uploads in HTTP. Just like download tasks, upload tasks can now be paused and resumed if the server supports the latest protocol draft. To learn more, see Resumable Uploads for HTTP. (68890505)
  • Apple devices now support connection to 802.1X networks using EAP-TLS with TLS 1.3 (EAP-TLS 1.3). EAP-TLS 1.3 further improves security and privacy by always providing forward secrecy, never disclosing the peer identity, and by mandating use of revocation checking when compared to EAP-TLS with earlier versions of TLS. (74526852)

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: For apps linked on or after iOS 17 and aligned OS versions, App Transport Security now requires secure connections to external IP addresses by default. For more information on these requirements, see Preventing Insecure Network Connections. Exceptions can be made using NSExceptionDomains, which now supports exceptions for individual IP addresses and ranges specified in classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) notation. (101967030)
  • Fixed: For apps linked on or after iOS 17 beta, macOS 14 beta, watchOS 10 beta, and tvOS 17 beta, the Transfer-Encoding header field of a streamed HTTP/1 request is set to chunked instead of Chunked. (107390029)

SharePlay​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: Starting SharePlay content between two Apple TVs results in one TV receiving a notification with “pseud…” as the name for the other TV. This only occurs on first attempt and subsequent SharePlay actions are correct. (108926589)

ShazamKit​

Known Issues​

  • SHManagedSession.State is unavailable. (109670750)
  • SHLibrary.default.items is unavailable. (109670918)

StoreKit​

New Features​

  • Users have access to the new Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status.all sequence to get the status for each of your app’s subscription groups. One can use the new subscriptionStatus property on the latest Transaction value for a subscription to access the full status information. (102064614)
  • StoreKit 2 now provides a collection of UI components to help merchandise in-app purchases. Use ProductView, StoreView and SubscriptionStoreView to add in-app purchases to an app with just a few lines of code. (102066107)
  • Users can access in-app purchase product metadata and entitlement information from a SwiftUI view using new view modifier APIs in StoreKit. Declare a view as dependent on a single product or collection of products using storeProductTask(for:priority:action:) or storeProductsTask(for:priority:action:) respectively. Declare a view as dependent on the current entitlement for a product using currentEntitlementTask(for:priority:action:). Declare a view as dependent on the status of a subscription group with subscriptionStatusTask(for:priority:action:). All of the modifiers will start a task to load the data before the view appears, and provide your action with the state of the task as it progresses and whenever the data changes. (102397222)
  • User have access to the new groupLevel property of Product.SubscriptionInfo to understand the level of service of a subscription plan. (103885148)
  • Users have access to the new reason, and storefront properties on Transaction to understand the reason why the transaction was created, and which storefront it is for. The new renewalDate property on RenewalInfo to understand if and when a subscription will renew next. (104246730)
  • Users have access to new groupDisplayName property of Product.SubscriptionInfo to get the localized display name of a subscription plan’s group. (105689964)
  • StoreKit ViewsProductView and StoreView have initializers have initializers that give you access to the promotional icon as a SwiftUI view and the various phases of the loading operation. Use initializers such as init(id:icon:placeholderIcon:), init(_:icon:), init(ids:icon:placeholderIcon:), and [init(products:icon:)](NEEDS DEVPUBS URL) to provide an icon view for each phase. (110470147)
  • The following StoreKit types are renamed: • DefaultProductViewStyle is renamed to [AutomaticProductViewStyle](NEED NEW DEVPUBS URL) • DefaultSubscriptionStoreMarketingContent is renamed to [AutomaticSubscriptionStoreMarketingContent](NEED NEW DEVPUBS URL) • DefaultProductPlaceholderIcon is renamed to [AutomaticProductPlaceholderIcon](NEED NEW DEVPUBS URL) (111185321)

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed issue where StoreView or SubscriptionStoreView content might appear in English, or show a localization key, instead of showing localized text for the App Store storefront. (110734447)

Known Issues​

  • When testing in the sandbox environment, the groupDisplayNameproperty on Product.SubscriptionInfo might return an empty string if the localization in the current storefront is not in an approved state. When using the SubscriptionStoreView without providing a marketing content view, the automatic view may show the name of the app instead of the subscription group’s display name. (107206601)
    Workaround: Use StoreKit Testing in Xcode instead of sandbox to test this functionality.

Swift​

New Features​

  • Properties of @observable and @Model types currently always require default values or optionality. (109441094)

Swift Charts​

New Features​

  • Enable scrolling in a chart using view modifier chartScrollableAxes(_:). (70444254)
  • Use chartXSelection, chartYSelection and chartAngleSelection to enable selection on a chart. If needed, use chartGestureto override the default gesture for selection. (79083764)
  • Swift Charts now supports creating pie charts and donut charts using the new SectorMark API. (102309263)
  • Pass an AnnotationOverflowResolution to the annotationmodifier to specify how to align an annotation when it would otherwise overflow the bounds of the chart or the plot. (106009062)

Known Issues​

  • Scrolling charts may behave unexpectedly on right-to-left languages. (109129343)
  • The use of chartScrollPosition(x:) or chartScrollPosition(y:) on a Date binding will lead to a runtime crash. (109287449)
    Workaround: Use a TimeInterval binding for chartScrollPosition(x:) and chartScrollPosition(y:) on Date axes.

SwiftData​

New Features​

  • Conflicting writes from other processes sharing the same file can cause a crash. (109488127)

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: willSet and didSet observers will prevent @Model from properly transforming those stored properties and they will not persist. (109664186)

Known Issues​

  • Properties with default values are not initialized correctly. (107887871)
    Workaround: Set the property value in initializer instead.
  • @Query results can appear stale or fail to refresh. (108385553)
  • Case value is not stored properly for a string rawvalue enumeration. (108634193)
    Workaround: Don’t use a rawvalue with a string enum property.
  • Schema migration can fail when nesting non-optional properties inside an optional containing struct. (108854663)
  • Properties with .externalStorage are not being stored in peripheral files. (108972391)
  • Scene modifier isUndoEnabled does not propagate correctly. (109373617)
    Workaround: Use view modifier.
  • Modeled enum properties with default values won’t compile unless they are fully qualified values. (109421492)
    Workaround: Fully qualify enum values in property’s default value.
  • SwiftData queries will not work with #Predicate { true } and #Predicate { false } will cause a crash. (109425342)
    Workaround: Use a logically true expression like { 1 == 1 }.
  • The default platform container directory is not available on tvOS and accessing it will result in a sandbox violation that causes a crash. (109487314)
    Workaround: Use an in memory container.
  • #Predicate does not support UUID, Date, and URL properties. (109539652)
  • @Query using SortDescriptors based on .reverse sorting on strings can fail to fetch results. (109572633)
    Workaround: Sort ordered .forward.
  • Creating a @Query with a sortdescriptor that uses a relationship keypath will crash. (109626376)
  • SwiftData queries don’t support some #Predicate flatmap and nilcoalescing behaviors. (109723704)
  • Xcode code generation for SwiftData Models from CoreData xcdatamodels will refer to originalName instead of renamingIdentifier. (109782236)
    Workaround: Use renamingIdentifier.
  • Unsigned applications using Document API without a proper app container may overwrite the default container. (109784405)
    Workaround: Codesign the project.
  • After deleting an item, SwiftUI may attempt to reference the deleted content during the animation causing a crash. (109838173)
    Workaround: Explicitly save after a delete.
  • Custom schema migrations with SchemaMigrationPlan will fail. (110114696)

SwiftUI​

New Features​

  • RoundedRectangle now defaults to the continuous corner style. (63246947)
  • .onChange has new overloads where the closure takes 0 or 2 arguments, these new versions will call the new version of the closure (i.e. after the specified value has changed), so any captured properties will have up to date values. The previous overload (which calls the old version of the closure) has been deprecated. (67344857)
  • Spring animations will now default to being critically damped (i.e. a bounce of 0). (75149732)
  • Lists using the SidebarListStyle hosted in primary column of a UIKit UISplitNavigationController were previously rendering with an insetGrouped appearance. With this change they will render as the expected sidebar appearance similar to if the List were hosted in a SwiftUI NavigationSplitView. (96909195)
  • Use the buttonRepeatBehavior(_:) view modifier to make buttons repeatedly trigger their actions on prolonged interactions. Apply this to buttons that increment or decrement a value or perform some other inherently iterative operation. Interactions such as pressing-and-holding on the button, holding the button’s keyboard shortcut, and holding down the space key while the button is focused trigger this repeat behavior. (102156410)
  • Animation.default now uses a spring animation equivalent to Animation.spring. In addition, Animation.default is now only equal to itself when using ==, allowing users to differentiate between animations that were intentionally chosen and those that use the defaultanimation. (103169056)
  • During gesture change callbacks, velocity will automatically be tracked so that it can be applied to animations that finish when the gesture finishes. (103371523)
  • When two Text are vertically adjacent (for example in a VStack with no spacer in between) SwiftUI will automatically calculate appropriate spacing. To opt-out if this behavior either place a Spacer or specify spacing parameter to the container view. (104782785)
  • For apps built using the macOS 14 SDK, using DismissAction to close a window will default to using DismissBehavior.interactive. (105406945)
  • A NavigationSplitView collapses into a single column in some situations, such as on iPhone, Apple Watch, or iPad in slide-over. When this happens the columns of the split view are arranged into a stack. By default, the split view automatically decides which column appears as the top of this stack based on the contents of the columns. It considers whether any embedded List views have selections and whether any embedded NavigationStack views have non-empty paths.
    NavigationSplitView provides new initializers that give users control over which column of the split view appears on top. Use initializers like NavigationSplitView(preferredTopColumn:sidebar:content:detail:) or NavigationSplitView(preferredTopColumn:sidebar:detail:) and provide a binding specifying the column that should be visible when the split view is collapsed into a stack. When using an app pops the stack, SwiftUI updates the binding. (106241051)
  • When using @Environment(\.self) to capture an entire EnvironmentValues, SwiftUI will now track which properties are accessed to only invalidate the property when those properties change. (106310433)
  • Use the new navigationDestination(item:destination:)overload to present a navigation destination when a bound item is non-nil, or to dismiss the destination when the bound item becomes nilagain. (106319528)
  • Shapes now default to mirroring when in a right to left layout direction. (107405880)
  • Changing from one Gradient value to another will now animate, but only once apps are rebuilt against the new SDK. (107408691)
  • All Sections inside List and Table can be configured to be collapsible using new initializers on Section. Previously all Sections inside Lists using the SidebarListStyle received outline disclosure indicators in every header. Section headers will no longer render this control by default. An outline disclosure will only be provided in the header if the Section is initialized with an isExpanded binding to a bool. This bool represents the isExpanded state of the Section. Sections created with an isExpanded binding inside a Table on macOS will now provide a default outline disclosure indicator to collapse or expand the Section. (107592493)

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: NavigationSplitView reuses view controllers in more cases, resulting in significantly improved performance. This might change the behavior of code that relies on the life cycle messages sent to UIHostingController because such controllers will be created less often. (88880547)
  • Fixed: Scroll environment properties like isScrollEnabled and scrollDismissesKeyboardMode are no longer propagated past nested scroll views. (99195890)
  • Fixed: Previously it was possible for views animating their removal via a transition to be drawn above a view with the same zIndex that has not yet been removed. This was unintentional and has now been updated: views transitioning out of the view hierarchy are always drawn below non-removed views with the same zIndex. (101085960)
  • Fixed: LazyVGrid or LazyHGrid has an improved layout when used with fixedSize(). (103075945)
  • Fixed: When a flexible frame modifier (e.g. frame(minHeight: 100, maxHeight: 200)) is used inside a scroll view the modified view could end up truncating content. This would most often be visible with the content view being a VStack with multiline text. (107014454)
  • Fixed: When scrolling to the end of a scroll view using ScrollViewReader, the final offset will be clamped to the scroll view’s total content size and no longer overscroll. (107558652)
  • Fixed: Removed a spurious warning, “NavigationLink presenting a value must appear inside a NavigationContent-based NavigationView. Link will be disabled.” (107877668)
  • Fixed: ScrollView when used with the searchable modifier has an improved transition when presenting or dismissing search on iOS and iPadOS. (109265624)
  • Fixed: Two NavigationSplitView initializers taking columnVisibility as a value rather than a Binding. (109426553)

Known Issues​

  • The new navigationDestination(item:destination:) overload only works to present from one column of a NavigationSplitView to another. The overload should also work inside a NavigationStack but does not currently. (106106406)
  • In some circumstances, the first view pushed onto a NavigationStackor collapsed NavigationSplitView may fail to animate. (106602046)

Symbol Effects​

Known Issues​

  • In the objective-C API in Symbols.framework, requesting effectWithWholeSymbol on NSSymbolPulseEffect and NSSymbolBounceEffect will result in the effect being configured to animate by layer instead. (109284710)

UIKit​

New Features​

  • The query rects passed in to -layoutAttributesForElementsInRect: will be more specific to the collection view’s frame, and the rect might intersect with previously queried frames. If subclassing a UIKit vended layout and modifying the frames of elements by applying offsets, make sure that the same offset is applied to the rect passed in to -layoutAttributesForElementsInRect: as well, or the user might see items disappearing when they shouldn’t be. (108663389)

Vision​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: VNDetectHumanBodyPose3DRequest now returns results for images/frames of people without depth metadata or camera intrinsics explicitly provided. (109723859)
  • Fixed issue with cameraOriginMatrix so a 180 rotation around x axis is no longer required. Please reference updated sample code for WWDC Session 111241. (110726503)

Wi-Fi​

Known Issues​

  • While a Mac has active traffic via Wi-Fi, you might experience difficulty discovering and connecting to Continuity Camera. (109954955)
    Workaround: Stop active traffic over the Wi-Fi link before starting a Continuity Camera session.

Yup, the changes in tvOS from when it first launched in 2015 to tvOS16 are so minimal, it would be on part with the difference of a one-year difference with iOS and MacOS.

I like that FaceTime is finally coming to the Apple TV (really, what took so long?), but tvOS really needs to have the App Store redesigned. It is actually worse now than it was when it launched.

App discovery is horrible on tvOS.

I have to ask....when will VPNs be available for Apple TV or that won't happen until the final release? Right now I have all Roku Max 4K streaming sticks but (recently) bought a used Apple 4K (2017) and everything works SO much better on Apple TV. Excited to put Apple TV in our other rooms.

Thats a new app category for tvOS app developers as Apple is now supporting their creation with tvOS 17. It's dependent on developers that made iOS/IPadOS VPN apps to do the same for tVOS.

This article discusses that a lot.

www.theverge.com

Apple TVs will have native VPN support in tvOS 17

The new Chromecast and Fire TV can already install VPN apps.
www.theverge.com www.theverge.com

Right now, in tvOS 17, to use a VPN with your Apple TV, you’ll need to do something like install a VPN on your router to do it, and not all routers support this. Native VPN support is one of the rare advantages Google’s Chromecast or Amazon’s Fire TV devices hold over the Apple TV right now.

We reached out to NordVPN and Express VPN, two popular VPN providers, to see if they plan to support the feature, and NordVPN responded with a maybe, although it is “actively exploring” creating a NordVPN app for Apple TV.

“We are concerned that there may be some limitations for consumer VPN products and the update will only benefit B2B VPN solutions,” NordVPN PR Manager Egidijus Jurgelionis wrote in an email to The Verge, “If not, our users will be able to use NordVPN on their Apple TVs sometime in the nearest future.”

New issue with selecting items in this beta which makes some apps unusable.

Disney+ you can get around it by selecting the item to play and hitting the ⏯️ button, but others get stuck at the select who’s watching screen and there’s no way forward.

Worst update ever. Everything takes forever to load, even the AppleTV app. I've been on betas for as long as I can remember, never have I experienced anything so unstable. In several apps I can't start a video stream and in others it loads so slowly I'm about to give up. If it succeeded, then it's questionable quality (lousy)

I'm not qualified to give feedback to Apple nor to troubleshoot - therefore I probably shouldn't have installed beta developer 🫣

It's just for info for others who feel tempted to update, don't.
