With Tappla, you can build native SDK apps for Roku and Apple TV.
You don't have to code or worry about app design - we have a ready-to-use template that looks like Netflix.
All you have to do is connect/integrate your videos and we take care of the rest.
Our Roku SDK grid screen template
Here is an example of what your Roku SDK Channel might look like:
Grid Screen Template:
Videos in a playlist appear side by side in the same row, and additional playlists appear below in a new row.
Launch Behavior:
When the user clicks on a video thumbnail, the video expands to full screen and begins playing immediately.
Dynamic Background:
The background image changes dynamically. It is always the thumbnail of the selected video.
What we need from you to build your Roku SDK app:
Tell us the name of your Roku Channel.
Send us your Roku app images. We recommend using your logo with a simple background for all images to keep the design clean and professional.
Required Images:
Splash Screens: These appear briefly when your Roku channel starts and are the first thing viewers see while your video content loads. Required sizes:
Full HD: 1920x1080px (JPG)
HD: 1280x720px (JPG)
SD: 720x480px (JPG)
App Icon: Displayed as the app icon on the Roku home screen and in the Channel Store listing. Required sizes:
Focus HD: 290x218px (JPG)
Focus SG: 246x140px (JPG)
Logo: Displayed inside your app at the top. Required size:
290x218px (PNG)
We will use your provided images as-is, but if you need recommendations, we suggest using a dark background color with your logo to maintain a clean, professional look.
How publishing works
Once your channel is built, we send you the finished Roku package. You upload it to the Roku Channel Store through your own free Roku Developer account, so the Channel Store listing stays permanently in your name.
If you have a Roku Direct Publisher channel: Roku discontinued Direct Publisher in January 2024. Use our custom SDK Roku Channel solution to migrate your Direct Publisher channel to an SDK Channel.
