Pointing device is really mandatory?

by **paolosabatino** » Wed Oct 09, 2013 6:16 am

Our agency has developed a full-featured Web App that is already been published on other Smart TV brands but has no support for any pointer device.

Actually our agency thinks a d-pad based interaction is easier and straightforward.

So our question is exactly as stated in the subject above: is supporting a pointing device really mandatory?
This is actually a blocking requirement on our side...

Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, supporting the pointer is mandatory for all Smart TV Alliance apps. All requirements mentioned in the list of QA requirements \"https://developers.smarttv-alliance.org/qa-requirements\" that are marked 'Requirement' must be implemented for an app to pass Smart TV Alliance QA.
