In this blog, we will learn how to create Smart TV app using Flutter. TV apps use the same architecture as those for phones and tablets. This approach means you can build new TV apps based on what you already know about building apps for Android, or extend your existing apps to also run on TV devices.

However, the interaction model for TV is substantially different. To make your app successful on TV devices you need to make some additional changes apart from phones and tablets.

We have already built an Android TV app for the CS-Cart platform where you can check the complete workflow as well.
