How do I make my app available on Fire TV?

For Fire TV devices, the following manifest attribute identifies support for Fire TV:

<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen" android:required="false" />

This attribute indicates that the touchscreen feature is false. Fire TV devices do not support touchscreens and multi-touch capabilities, whereas phones and tablets do. As a result, you must declare this android.hardware.touchscreen attribute to be false for the Appstore to classify your app as compatible with Fire TV devices.

However, this classification isn’t automatic. When you upload a binary designed for Fire TV devices, you must still manually select which devices your binary file is compatible with in the Developer Console. You can do this during Step 2: Target Your App of the app submission process by clicking Edit supported devices.

For details, see Supported devices documentation.
