Streaming App Development for Fire OS and Vega

Fire TV now runs on two operating systems.

inoRain covers both: we build your app for Fire OS and for Vega, connect it to your backend, take it through Amazon's review, and keep it running as Amazon moves the rest of the lineup over.

Everything Your Fire TV App Needs, Built In

  • Both Fire TV systems supported

    One project covers Fire OS and Vega OS.

  • Your brand, your listing

    White-labeled and published under your own Amazon developer account.

  • Live TV and EPG

    Channel list, program guide, catch-up, and timeshift.

  • Multi-DRM playback

    Widevine and PlayReady over HLS and DASH.

  • Your backend or ours

    Run on inoRain's CMS or connect your existing one.

  • Updates after launch

    We handle new Fire OS versions, new devices, and the move to Vega.

How inoRain Builds Your Amazon Fire TV App

  1. 1

    Kickoff and scope

    We agree on the branding, the feature set, which Fire TV devices you want to reach, and which countries the app is released in.

  2. 2

    Build

    Your app is built remote-first for the 10-foot screen: your home screen, your player layout, your EPG grid — as an Android app for Fire OS and a Vega app for the new devices.

  3. 3

    Integrate

    We connect the app to your content, your user accounts, and your subscription logic, through inoRain's CMS.

  1. 4

    Submit and certify

    We prepare the packages, listing assets, and device targeting, and put the app through Amazon's test criteria before it goes in for review.

  2. 5

    Launch and maintain

    The app publishes to the devices and countries you selected. After that, we handle updates, new Fire OS releases, and new Fire TV hardware.

Monetize Your Fire TV App Your Way

Fire TV gives you two ways to collect money, and you can run both in the same app.

  • Subscriptions, Ads or Rentals

    SVOD, AVOD and TVOD in the same app — a monthly plan, free tiers with ads, and one-off rentals, in whatever mix your catalog needs.

  • Viewers Pay on The TV

    Amazon In-App Purchasing is Amazon's own checkout, built into Fire TV, and inoRain integrates it. A viewer subscribes or rents with the remote, charged to the Amazon account they already have on the device. Amazon takes a share of each transaction.

  • Viewers Pay on Your Website

    Users sign up on your site and then just log in on the TV. The payment and the subscriber stay in your system, and anyone who already subscribed on web or mobile keeps the same account here.

We Handle Amazon App Store Submission and Review

Amazon reviews every app before it reaches a device. There's no fixed review time — it depends on how many rounds of corrections an app needs. We prepare the submission so there're no delays on your side.

  • Two Packages, one Listing

    An Android build for Fire OS, a Vega package for the new devices.

  • Per Device Family

    You choose which Fire TV hardware the app is offered on.

  • Tested Before Submission

    We run the app against Amazon's test criteria first.

  • No Sideloading on Vega

    On new devices, the Appstore is the only way in.

Frequently Asked Questions

A real app on both tracks — a native Android app on Fire OS and a Vega app built with Amazon's Vega SDK, submitted to the Amazon Appstore like any other Fire TV app.
Vega OS is Amazon's own operating system, no longer based on Android. New Fire TV sticks ship with it and Amazon has said future ones will too, so reaching new buyers means a Vega build alongside the Fire OS one.
Your content, your branding, and an Amazon developer account. We handle the build, the integration, and the submission.
Yes. The app is published under your account and stays yours — we submit into it on your behalf.
Fire TV Sticks, Fire TV Cube, Amazon's own smart TVs, and Fire TV sets from brands like Hisense, TCL, and Panasonic. We agree on the device families up front, because Fire OS and Vega devices need different builds.
With the remote. Amazon In-App Purchasing is integrated, so viewers subscribe or buy on the TV itself. Your own billing and web signup work too if you prefer to keep payments in your system.
Yes. Live channels, a full program guide, catch-up and timeshift, alongside your VOD catalog.
Widevine and PlayReady, over HLS and DASH.
Yes. The app can run on inoRain's CMS or connect to the backend you already have, so your catalog, user accounts, and subscriptions stay where they are.
Yes. Fire TV is one of the platforms we build for — the same content and backend also drive apps on Android TV, Apple TV, Samsung, LG, and Roku.
