What happens after you sign up
Here is the full path from creating your Tappla account to your app going live, so you always know where you are in the process.
Connect your video source. Add your Vimeo Showcase (or a CDN, HLS stream, or JSON feed) in your dashboard under Contents. This is what your app will show.
See your app instantly. As soon as a source is connected, Tappla generates a demo of your app. You can preview it in the browser and on the Tappla TV app before you pay.
Brand it. Add your logo, colors, and categories so the app looks like yours.
Choose your platforms and plan. Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, or all three. Most customers use the Premium plan, which covers all platforms.
Provide your developer accounts. Apple TV needs your own Apple Developer account (Apple charges $99/year); Roku Developer is free. You publish under your own accounts, so you own the listings forever.
We build your apps; you submit them. Tappla builds your native apps and hands them to you ready to publish. For Apple TV, we upload the build to your App Store Connect account and you add the listing details (name, description, keywords, screenshots) and submit for review. For Roku, you submit the package to the Roku Channel Store. For Fire TV, you get the build via apps.tappla.com and submit or install it. You submit through your own accounts either way.
Go live, then update anytime. Add new videos to your source and they appear in the app automatically. No resubmission needed.
How long does it take?
Roku is usually live 1 to 2 weeks after your assets are ready. Apple TV is typically 3 to 6 weeks. The long pole is Apple's developer-account enrollment, not the build, so you can start Roku in parallel.
