I've been tasked with developing an app for Xbox to match our existing suite of apps for Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook, iOS, and Android. One of the key features of our app is that it must launch automatically on boot.
Is there any way to create an app that will launch automatically on boot in Xbox? I'm focused on Xbox S at present because I have one I can test on.
The auto-launching portion of the app doesn't even have to have a user interface. It can, but it doesn't have to. So even just a background service would be enough. But some kind of custom code has to launch on boot, or else the platform just isn't viable for our product.
I've Googled and Googled and cannot find anything that speaks to this (which seems to me to indicate that it cannot be done). I suspected antivirus software would launch on boot, so perhaps I could try to figure out how Norton does it. But there doesn't seem to be a Norton for Xbox, or any other antivirus software for Xbox for that matter. It even looks like the user himself cannot manually set any of his apps to launch on boot.
If this is possible, and you know how to do it, please provide enough instructions (or a link to something that does provide them) that I should be able to create a "Hello World" app (or something similarly trivial) that launches on boot.
If you know for a fact that it isn't possible, please let me know that it is impossible, and also tell me how you know this, so that I can stop spinning my wheels.
Thank you so much!
