Apple tvOS support #3046

Is there any chance of porting SmartTube to apple tv? Im willing go migrate to apple tv and one of the things that stop me not to do it yet is SmartTube.

Considering the app is fully written in Java and wasn't written with cross-compatibility in mind (the app is written such that it uses Android-specific features), a port isn't possible, only a full rewrite can do this. Basically, it won't happen unfortunately

What about Tweaking the original youtube app? Many jailbreak devs tweak apps and add missing features to them, and ofcours work on none jailbroken devices too

I'm not sure as I don't use tvOS and such discussion is outside the scope of this project

Don't know if you can install "uYouPlus" on apple tvOS. I'll report back if I do it this weekend.

What would be the technical challenges when rewriting the app in Swift? (Are there some libraries that are missing equivalent in swift? Or some bypassing methods only available in Android OS?)
