Amazon Prime video app coming to Apple TV

San Francisco May 12 (IANS) Apple plans to announce Amazon Prime video app to its Apple TV App Store during its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 5 in San Jose California.

The app is expected to go live this summer but the hard launch date might change. Amazon had previously declined to even submit a Prime Video app for inclusion in Apple s Apple TV App Store despite Apple s ‘all are welcome proclamations media company buzzfeed.com reported on Friday.

In January Apple announced a change in App Store policy increasing the tvOS apps size limit from 200MB to 4GB.

With the increased data size developers can include more media in their submission and provide a complete rich user experience upon installation the company said in a post.

Also tvOS apps can use On-Demand Resources to host up to 20GB of additional content on the App Store.
