Google has confirmed that both the Apple TV app and Apple TV Plus service are now available on all Android TV devices. The announcement followed confirmation from Nvidia that the Apple TV app has also landed on Nvidia Shield, along with 4K, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support. The app was initially restricted to Sony Bravia TVs and Chromecast with Google TV, but Google has confirmed that Apple TV and its streaming service are now available for the “entire Android TV OS ecosystem,” from Hisense to TCL. The app now appears in the Play Store and can be installed immediately on any Android TV device based on Android 8.0 Oreo or higher, Google clarified to 9to5Google. The news marks a big step for Apple TV, which began life as a service exclusive to Apple devices before steadily being expanded to other platforms like Amazon’s Fire OS, LG’s webOS and newer PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
