i don't have an Android TV and never tried to optimize the app for it. if someone has an Android TV and can take a look would appreciate it.

As suggested in the build logs, disable offline mode and try again.

Can you try with the latest changes, please? We updated the gradle version.

I had a look at this. I was able to replicate using a TV emulator but hiding the status bar after a few seconds works well on a device but not on the TV emulator.

Reading the Android TV Guide, it is strongly discouraged to re-use phones/tablets layouts for TVs. Secondly, even if the app is installed, most users will not be able to use it because there is no TV launcher activity.

I suggest creating a separate module in the app and designing specifically for TVs. Are there designs available already? This is something I am willing to pick up, if I have proper designs.

makes sense - we currently don't have any designs or anything. i'd be curious to learn more about the use case for this.
