Question

It is possible ?

Answer 1

With tvOS and react native if you want to force a focusable component to be focus you just need to set hasTVPreferredFocus with the value of true

Let me show you an example:

<TouchableHighlight
    hasTVPreferredFocus={true}
    onPress={() => {}}
>
    <Text>Hello</Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
