HLS Steering Support

What is the first version of iOS and tvOS to support HLS Steering? Is the AppleTV+ service using HLS Steering to manage multiple CDNs?

HLS Steering was introduced at WWDC 2021, so it's available with iOS/tvOS 15 and above. I don't know if Apple TV+ uses it, but it's an internal detail that I couldn't comment on anyway.

Is HLS Content Steering available on Safari as well?

Content steering should be available in Safari when playing HLS via the native video element.

If you're using an MSE-based HLS player you'll need to implement Content Steering yourself.
