Hello We're implementing Search in our Apple TV App, and want to show Search Suggestions. We've followed the WWDC talk https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10634/ and so far so good. We've got our suggestions showing, but at the start of our suggestions list is the default built in suggestion of whatever has already been typed. We want to remove this first suggestion, because below the suggestions is already the results for the typed search term, and therefore offering this suggestion doesn't work for us. An array of two UISearchSuggestionItem were added to self.searchController.searchSuggestions, but this seems to have been pre-pended with another suggestion, which is what the customer has already typed. This is what we want to turn off. This suggestion isn't present in the Apple TV+ app, so it feels like we must somehow be able to turn this off, but haven't found any way to do so. This is AppleTV+ app which does NOT show a suggestion of "jo". Please help. Thanks Antony

Our AppStore app uses mDNS to discover other devices on the local network using BSD sockets, so have made the request for the special entitlement com.apple.developer.networking.multicast using the "Multicast Networking Entitlement Request Form". We hope to hear back from that request shortly. But for the same app, which we Test and Trial internally on Employees, does anyone know how we request the same entitlement for our InHouse Distributed Enterprise Team? When setting up the App Identifier in our Enterprise Team we don't even get the section at the bottom for "Additional Capabilities". We just have the list of standard "Capabilities" and Deployment Details (Optional), and the request form mentioned above asks for App Store URL which obviously doesn't apply here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Antony

Hi allWe have HDR content, at up to HD resolution for both 25fps and 50fps in a single manifest.Our issue is that most of our customers will have their Apple TV Video settings set to "4K HDR 50Hz".We understand that the Apple TV 4K device does NOT support 4K HDR content above 30fps, but it does support HD HDR up to 60fps.But because of the users video setting, even though we don't have above HD resolutions, then the device only plays 25fps content, and not the 50fps content.If the customer has their setting set to "HD HDR 50Hz" then they correctly see the best HD HDR @50fps picture.Is there any way we can automatically downgrade the customers video setting to HD so that they get the best picture we support? Or any way to ensure the HD 50fps content is chosen knowing we don't have 4K resolutions in our playlist? Or any way we can prioritise FPS at all?It seems strange that even though we don't have resolutions greater than HD in our manifest, that tvOS is thinking we "might" have, and therefore limits the FPS to 25 even before deciding on the stream to play.Thanks for any help anyone can give on this.RegardsAntony
