What does it take to ship a video-first Spotify experience on the biggest screen in your house?In this Release Notes episode of the NerdOut@Spotify podcast, you’ll hear about the redesigned Spotify app on Apple TV — why we rebuilt it, what it took to build a fully native tvOS app from the ground up, and how we evolved from a templated TVML-based UI to a modern, pixel-perfect experience.The result is a faster, more visual experience tailored for a bigger screen, with expanded video support, AI DJ, on-screen lyrics, and improved navigation across the app.Along the way, we dig into tvOS focus-based navigation, service runtime and dependency wrangling, and the important role AI coding agents played in helping us move faster — from generating UI from Figma designs, to mapping complex dependency trees, to automating visual diffs for pixel perfection.The new Spotify app is available on the Apple TV App Store now.Read what else we’re nerding out about on the Spotify Engineering Blog: engineering.atspotify.comYou should follow us on Twitter @SpotifyEng, LinkedIn, and YouTube!
