Question
We are currently developing e-Manual content for TVs and using Tizen Studio's emulator for 2018 TV models.
Our Samsung business unit contact has instructed us to use Tizen 3.0 TV SDK and Extensions, but we're unable to download them through Package Manager.
Our questions are:
- Is there any way to download the Tizen 3.0 TV SDK and Extensions?
- If not, can we use Tizen 4.0 TV SDK and Extensions as an alternative?
Answer
Problem Understanding
The user needs to access Tizen 3.0 TV SDK and Extensions for e-Manual development but cannot find them in Package Manager.
Solution Methods
-
Download from Samsung Developers Archive:
- You can find older versions of TV Extensions (including 3.1.2 and 4.0 beta) in the Samsung Developers Archive:
- Samsung TV Extension Archive
-
Use Tizen 4.0 TV SDK:
- The Tizen 4.0 TV SDK is backward compatible and can be used as an alternative to 3.0 version.
- This is the recommended approach as it includes support for older versions while providing newer features.
Additional Tips
- When working with older SDK versions, be aware of potential compatibility issues with newer Tizen Studio versions.
- Always verify your application's functionality on actual target devices when possible, as emulator behavior might differ.
