¹ tvOS In-App Experiences: Scenes, Banners, and non-HTML In-App Automations are supported. However, scheduled In-App Experiences will no longer display if the app’s cache is wiped due to tvOS storage limitations.
² tvOS Message Center: The list view has no select, delete, or bulk mark-as-read controls. iOS and visionOS show an edit toolbar and support swipe-to-delete; tvOS doesn’t. Opening a message still marks it read.
³ tvOS On-Device AI: Requires a custom model. The AI framework lives in AirshipCore and works on every platform and deployment target, but the built-in model ships in the optional AirshipFoundationModels module on top of Apple’s Foundation Models, which is unavailable on tvOS. The same applies on iOS and visionOS below 26 — supply your own model to serve devices the built-in one can’t.
