Add support for AppleTV Apps #27

Closed NoahFetz closed 2 years ago

Thanks! Does this also support downloading the app packages for tvOS or is it solely for searches?

NoahFetz commented 2 years ago

It should support downloading too. But I've only tried it with one app so I can't tell if there are any special cases where this wouldn't work

majd commented 2 years ago

If I understand correctly, the changes you made here are only related to the search functionality. Essentially allowing you to search for tvOS apps. Is downloading tvOS apps already supported? Do you have any bundle id for a tvOS app (that does not have an iOS app) which I can use to test this?

@NoahFetz Any updates on this? Are you still interested in getting this PR merged? 😄

NoahFetz commented 2 years ago

Sorry I totally forgot about this... Unfortunately I don't have a specific example that doesn't have an iOS App too.

@NoahFetz Search for "TV Maps" on Apple TV's App Store and you will find quite a few apps which only have versions for the Apple TV, such as the one I've attached here.

I couldn't figure out how to get a link or share the app from the Apple TV, but if you tell me how to get the link, I can give you links to these Apple-TV-only apps

I gave it a try. It seems that the API is returning the "no license available" error for Apple TV apps, even if the account has a license for the app. I don't think this PR is sufficient to add support for downloading apps for tvOS, it only allows searching for tvOS apps

Ok. I'll look at it some time later since I don't have time in the near future, you can close it or leave it open, up to you :)
