## What it is
A maintained fork of React Native that adds Apple TV and Android TV support, published as the react-native-tvos npm package. It tracks core React Native releases and includes Hermes and the New Architecture (Fabric) on TV platforms.

## Use cases
- build a React Native app for Apple TV
- build a React Native app for Android TV or Fire TV
- use Expo to target TV platforms
- port an existing React Native mobile app to tvOS
- get Hermes and Fabric support on Apple TV

## When to choose
- you want React Native on Apple TV or Android TV with up-to-date core releases
- you use Expo or the New Architecture and need TV support

## When to avoid
- you only target mobile platforms - use core react-native
- you need to use core react-native and this package simultaneously in one project
