Fire Tv publishing question.

robertkdale

Hi, everyone

In brief I will be buying an Amazon Fire TV Box as well as gaming controller and have a question.

I develop all of my games on my Mac Book Pro and was wondering if I can publish to Fire TV directly from my Mac? Also, do I need to download any special SDK?

Honestly, I just want to make sure that I have all of the right tools inorder to publish to Fire TV from my Mac.

Thank you for your time and help

You can use the Mac and ADB just like working with android devices. The only difference is that ADB only works over TCP/IP instead of usb with the firetv.

You'll need to follow the guidelines linked below to set up your Mac for publishing to Android devices.

When I have time I might throw together a little tool to semi-automate the process.

Thanks @Armelline Also thanks for sharing the iAP system as I now use the same coding technique in all of my games!

I'm using adbfire for Mac to side load games for testing after signing them, works a treat!
