TV Remote v1.4.0

What's changed

• Type into Apple TV text fields with your phone keyboard. Typed text stays in sync when reopening the dialog or switching TV fields, and queued input stops when the field loses focus.
• Reach skip controls more easily and activate the touch surface with a screen reader.
• Recover from expired pairing PINs without getting stuck in the pairing screen. Successful Companion pairing is recorded separately from the connection attempt.
• Bound connection attempts blocked by a VPN and show recovery advice instead of repeatedly reconnecting.
• Keep volume commands flowing after a timeout and clean up cancelled Companion requests.

Installation

Download TVRemote.apk below and install it over the existing app. Version 1.4.0 uses build code 8 and retains the existing signing identity. update.json and SHA256SUMS support the app's update checks.

Real Apple TV/Roku connections, physical keyboard input, VPN recovery, and volume/gesture behavior still require hardware testing.

TV Remote v1.3.2

What's changed

• Open TV apps from the pull-up app drawer, with regional Apple TV icons and accessible controls.
• Retry temporary Apple TV and Roku connection failures. Failed reconnects let you choose another TV or forget the device.
• Fix Roku discovery XML parsing and show Apple TVs as soon as discovery resolves them.
• Show Android media controls only while content is playing. Controls disappear on pause, stop, or disconnect, and include available artwork, duration, and playback actions.
• Add playback activity permissions and diagnostics, and make the Apple TV playback-details pairing action easier to find.
