App submission with new RokuOS 15 API

Hello,

I would like to implement the new Roku OS 15 functionality but when submitting to the store the latest minimum supported firmware is version 14.

Is it safe to submit the app with new API or should I wait until version 15 of Roku OS is available in the list?

Is it possible to know when it will be available?

Cheers

If you submit it with a v15 specific feature that’s not available in v14 and you set the minimum supported version to v14, it will get downloaded to devices that are still on v14 and it will crash. Either check the version of the user’s device and ensure that doesn’t happen (maybe use a try/catch block) or wait for Roku to change the minimum supported firmware version in the developer portal. It’s probably an oversight, but you never know with Roku. You might want to contact Partner Success to let them know about the issue.
