tvOS Support in Detox

[Ljo2017]

Description

Currently AppleTV is listed as one of the supported devices by applesimutils but when I tried running on Apple TV simulator, I get following error:

dyld: warning: could not load inserted library '/Users/Lewina/Library/Detox/ios/6835fdc9621ba06e099f505790cc7b06d2e6c1b5/Detox.framework/Detox' because no suitable image found. Did find:

Is there any plans to support Apple TV/Android TV in the future?

Detox is not built currently with tvOS platform binary. We haven't looked into that yet. Since iOS and tvOS have very familiar APIs and SPIs, the support should not be hard to achieve. Further requirements would arise, such as supporting the Apple TV remote as Detox API to call in tests, as well as perhaps matchers and assertions for the focus system that exists in tvOS.

This is not on our focus right now, but if someone wants to help us achieve it, PRs are welcome. I will provide guidance and assistance as needed.

I don’t think Earl Grey supports tvOS, in which case this will not happen any time soon.
