In the branches for v3 there is some scaffolding done for building the framework for Apple TV as well, but the latest preview doesn't support Apple TV.
https://github.com/Azure/azure-notificationhubs-ios/blob/v3-preview4/Scripts/build-tvos-framework.sh
We want to use Notification Hubs for our product that spans iOS and Apple TV and runs it whole backend on Azure.
Is there a timeline on when Apple TV will be supported, or are there any alternatives (in the meantime) e.g. like building the source code and removing the unsupported API's?

Hi @ErikZuidema-1175,
We have recently added targets and build schemes for tvOS that you can build yourself on our development branch sdk-v3. Please let us know if that works for you.
EDIT: I just noticed that you already fixed the support and created a PR, so I'll just wait for the release. Thanks a lot.
@Matthew Podwysocki @Ryan Hill Thanks for the replies.
I'm unsure why I didn't get notified of it since I am following my own question 🙄.
I was looking into the sdk-v3 branch indeed. I was running into some build issues when trying to run a build for Apple TV OS, but then again I'm not familiar with building multi target sdks for Apple. We are primarily using Xamarin, so any information pushing in the right direction would help.
Are there tutorials or blogpost that kind of explains the project setup that you are using so I can get up to speed a bit?
I did fiddle around with it a little bit, just to see if I can get it compiling, and I only encountered two compiling issues:
When I compiled it to a framework using:
xcodebuild -project ./azure-notificationhubs-ios/WindowsAzureMessaging/WindowsAzureMessaging.xcodeproj -target "WindowsAzureMessaging iOS Framework" -sdk appletvos -arch arm64 -configuration Release ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO clean build -UseModernBuildSystem=NO
And then using it in an default Apple TV project gave me issues that it couldn't find the umbrella header.
And for the simulator build:
xcodebuild -project ./azure-notificationhubs-ios/WindowsAzureMessaging/WindowsAzureMessaging.xcodeproj -target "WindowsAzureMessaging iOS Framework" -sdk appletvsimulator -arch x86_64 -configuration Release ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO clean build -UseModernBuildSystem=NO
Then importing it, it was missing an object and could not import the framework.
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_OBJC_CLASS_$_SBNotificationHub", referenced from:
objc-class-ref in AppDelegate.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Yet again, I'm not yet familiar with that process, so it could very well be me doing something wrong.
Thanks again,
Erik
There is work towards a refreshed iOS SDK that's currently in preview (v3.0.0). You can grab here. It should better support the multiple flavors of iOS, but nothing concrete for supporting tvOS. However, underlying notification framework between iOS and tvOS shouldn't be too dissimilar and should work, respectively. If you do run into an issue using the preview SDK, please feel free to create an issue so the team can investigate. I highly encourage this as the team eager to get feedback on the preview.
