Can I delete the tvOS from react native project?

Question

Eventually, I will be submitting a react native app to the app store but the app will only run on iOS, not tvOS. Will I be able to delete these targets and stuff and submit the project with no problem?

Yes you can delete it but first delete appName-tvOSTests then delete appName-tvOS (otherwise xcode will crash).
After that remove this code from ios/Podfile :

target 'appName-tvOS' do
  # Pods for appName-tvOS

  target 'appName-tvOSTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

I had to delete the "*-tvOSTests" target first before deleting the actual tvOS target, otherwise XCode would crash. – jmk May 03 '18 at 14:07

might also need to remove that from the Podfile – jovani Mar 31 '20 at 04:11
I deleted Tests first and xcode still crashed when I went to delete the tvOS target – Ellery Familia Oct 29 '21 at 13:31
