How do I handle multiple windows and scenes on tvOS using Swift?

In tvOS, handling multiple windows and scenes can enhance the user experience by allowing users to interact with multiple pieces of content at the same time. This can be particularly useful for media applications where users might want to watch a video while browsing other content. Below is an example of how to implement multiple windows and scenes using Swift in a tvOS application.

To manage multiple scenes, you can use the `UIScene` API. Here's a basic implementation example:

import UIKit @UIApplicationMain class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate { var window: UIWindow? func application(_ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) -> UISceneConfiguration { // Create a new scene configuration let sceneConfig = UISceneConfiguration(name: "Default Configuration", sessionRole: connectingSceneSession.role) // Configure additional settings here if needed return sceneConfig } func application(_ application: UIApplication, didDiscardSceneSessions sceneSessions: Set<UISceneSession>) { // Release any resources specific to the discarded scenes, as they will not return } } class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate { var window: UIWindow? func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { guard let windowScene = scene as? UIWindowScene else { return } window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene) let viewController = ViewController() window?.rootViewController = viewController window?.makeKeyAndVisible() } // Implement other scene delegate methods as needed }

This example demonstrates how to create a new scene configuration in your app delegate and set up the initial view controller in the scene delegate. You can add additional scene management features, such as handling state restoration and user activity, based on your app's requirements.
