tvOS 13 Beta 3 Release


Notes
Overview
The tvOS 13 SDK provides support for developing tvOS apps
for Apple TV devices running tvOS 13. The SDK comes bundled
with Xcode 11 beta available from Beta Software Downloads.
For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 11,
see Xcode 11 Beta 3 Release Notes.
AuthenticationServices
Known Issues
• Passing both ASAuthorizationAppleIDProvider and
ASAuthorizationPasswordProvider to
ASAuthorizationController is not currently supported on
tvOS. (50897359)

AVFoundation
New Features
• AVFoundation now supports encoding video with alpha
channels using HEVC. Videos encoded in this manner are
broadly supported in AVFoundation APIs, and by Safari
within web pages. Technical details of the format can be
found in the Interoperability Profile specification. (8045917)

Installation
Resolved Issues
• Restore image installation of tvOS 13 for Apple TV HD is
now available. (51780378)

MapKit
Known Issues
• MKMarkerAnnotationView doesn’t render the default glyph
image. (52143655)

Workaround: Set the glyphImage property on
MKMarkerAnnotationView instances.
• MKMarkerAnnotationView doesn’t render the markers for
annotations using the default tint color. (51908728)

Workaround: Set the markerTintColor property on
MKMarkerAnnotationView instances.

Networking
Deprecations
• Removed support for FTP and File URL schemes for Proxy
Automatic Configuration (PAC). HTTP and HTTPS are the
only supported URL schemes for PAC. This affects all PAC
configurations including, but not limited to, configurations
set using Settings, System Preferences, Profiles, and
URLSession APIs such as connectionProxyDictionary and
CFNetworkExecuteProxyAutoConfigurationURL(_:_:_:_:).
(28578280)
• The URLSession and NSURLConnection APIs no longer
support SPDY. Servers should use HTTP 2 or HTTP 1.1.
(43391641)

SwiftUI
Known Issues
• Return types for View modifier methods include complex
generic types. In a future release, these methods will
return simpler types. (46140669)
• Image instances don’t use resizing information configured
in asset catalogs. Configure the size of an image using the
resizable(capInsets:resizingMode:) modifier instead.
(49114577)
• A ScrollView doesn’t always size itself as expected for its
content. (49204262)

Workaround: Size the view that’s inside the ScrollView by
applying the frame(width:height:alignment:) modifier to the
inner view. (49204262)
Resolved Issues
• Tabs in TabbedView instances appear as expected when
you use them with a NavigationView. (49958869)
• The possible values that you can select from a Picker can
now be accessed from UI automation. (50679414)

System Video
Resolved Issues
• Waking from sleep is faster and doesn’t result in an
indefinite No Signal state. (50489811)
• Apple TV no longer enters sleep mode unexpectedly when
transitioning between videos in a playlist. (51159114)

UIKit
Known Issues
• Except for selectionIndicatorTintColor, properties in the
new tab bar appearance API aren’t reflected on the screen.
(49792597)

Xcode
New Features
• CAMetalLayer is now available in the Simulator.
