Crash course to Compose for TV

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Android TV claims 47% year‑over‑year growth and now reaches 220 million monthly active devices, and migrating apps to app bundles yields ~20% size reduction that frees device storage. Compose for TV moves from alpha into Compose for TV beta, folding TV Foundation into Compose Foundation (lazy rows/columns/grids are now standard), replacing pivot offsets with bringIntoViewSpec, removing the opinionated immersive list, and providing composables for carousels, focusable cards, tab rows and navigation drawers.
