Build Your Samsung TV AppWithout Hiring a Tizen Team

Samsung TVs run Tizen — their own operating system, with its own SDK, store, and review team. Mobile or web developers can't build for it without learning a new platform from scratch.

Branded streaming app playing a video on a TV

inoRain handles this for you: we build the Tizen app, connect it to your backend, take it through Samsung's certification, and keep it running as Samsung ships new firmware every year.

Everything Your Samsung TV App Needs, Built In

  • Your brand, your account

    White-labeled and published under your own developer profile.

  • Live TV and EPG

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

  • Multi-DRM playback

    PlayReady, Widevine and Verimatrix, matched to the TV.

  • Your backend or ours

    Monthly or annual plans, sold on your own site or inside the app through Samsung Checkout.

  • Updates after launch

    We handle new firmware, new models, and new versions.

How inoRain Builds Your Tizen TV App

  1. 01Kickoff and scope

    We agree on the branding, the feature set, which TV model years you want to cover, and which countries the app is released in.

  2. 02Build

    Your app is built as a native Tizen application against Samsung's SDK: remote-first navigation, Samsung's AVPlay media player, your player layout, your EPG grid, your home screen.

  3. 03Integrate

    We connect the app to your content, your user accounts, and your subscription logic — through inoRain's CMS or through the backend you already run.

  4. 04Certify and submit

    You upload your package, icons, screenshots, and UI documentation to Samsung's TV Seller Office. Automated pre-tests run first, then Samsung's QA team reviews the app against its Development Checklist.

  5. 05Launch and maintain

    The app publishes to the model groups and countries you selected. After that, we handle updates, new Tizen versions, and new TV models.

Monetize Your Samsung TV App to The Fullest

Samsung Checkout is Samsung's own in-app purchase system, and inoRain integrates it. Every step between wanting your content and watching it costs you sign-ups. This removes most of them.

Payment and Monetization Methods

  • Users Pay With the Remote

    Samsung Checkout handles it on the TV.

  • Use Your Own Billing

    Keep web signup and log viewers in on the TV.

  • Subscriptions, Ads, or Rentals

    SVOD, AVOD, and TVOD in the same app.

We Handle Certification and Samsung TV Store submission

Samsung reviews every app before it reaches a TV. Most delays come from not knowing the rules.

  • Per Model Group

    Certified and published per TV generation, not once.

  • Per Country

    Unselected countries don't see the app at all.

  • Beta First

    Test with real viewers on 2021+ sets before launch.

  • Phased Updates

    New versions reach a few TVs before all of them.

Samsung publishes no fixed review time — it depends on how many rounds of corrections an app needs. We prepare the submission so there are no delays on your side.

Frequently Asked Questions

A real Tizen app, built with Samsung's SDK and Samsung's AVPlay media player, submitted to the Samsung TV Store like any other TV app.
No. You can keep the Samsung seller account yourself, and we can submit your app under it, or the app can launch under inoRain's account. Both work, and the app is yours either way.
Samsung TVs from 2021 onward, through the Samsung TV Store. The app also runs on older sets, but Samsung no longer allows new store releases for them — those need your own delivery method.
With the remote. Samsung Checkout 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.
PlayReady, Widevine and Verimatrix. We choose and package based on the TV model years you want to reach, because not every DRM configuration plays on every Samsung set.
Samsung doesn't publish a fixed time — it depends on how many rounds of corrections the app needs. We prepare the submission against Samsung's Development Checklist to keep it to as few rounds as possible.
Yes. We handle new versions, new Tizen releases, and new TV models, and updates can be rolled out in stages rather than to every TV at once.
