Support tvOS

[hlung]

Our app supports both iOS and tvOS. Is it possible to add support for tvOS?

Hello @hlung 👋. Thanks for reaching us 🙂. The answer on tvOS support is similar to watchOS #125. Our plan is to first complete all major features: Logging, Tracing and Real User Monitoring and then evaluate supporting more platforms (including tvOS and watchOS). It's definitely on our list, but no precise ETA yet.

@ncreated I'd also support adding this, we're migrating to DD and we have a tvOS app and would like to keep logs centralized.

Is there an alternative or a raw HTTP endpoint that can be used as a fallback in the meantime?

Hey @triztian 👋 I'm the PM for Mobile RUM team. We don't yet support an HTTP endpoint to send your data directly to - we'll keep this thread posted with updates on support for tvOS and API endpoint, both of which are in radar for Q2 - 2021.

Hi @priyanshi-gupta any updates on the above? I'm very eager to add datadog to our tvOS app as well.

@mschinis What I ended up doing was using JustLog (which is available for tvOS) and creating a bare minimum backend destination.

It is a somewhat butchered integration but it allowed us to start logging along with the other applications that were migrated to DD.

This is a much needed feature. Also - supporting tvOS should be very easy. It's basically iOS with a separate compiler target.

As a follow up here, we're now actively working on adding tvOS support 🙂.
