Fire TV app builder

A native Fire TV app, built from the video you already have.

Amazon Fire TV runs on hundreds of millions of devices worldwide, and a Fire TV app is a real native Android app. Tappla turns your existing video source into one, delivered via apps.tappla.com ready to publish to the Amazon Appstore under your own free Amazon developer account. Days, not months.

What building a Fire TV app involves

A Fire TV app is a native Android app.

Fire OS is built on Android, so shipping a Fire TV app means an Android build, a signed APK and store assets. Here's what Tappla carries for you, then delivers via apps.tappla.com ready to publish to the Amazon Appstore.

Android build

A real native app

A native Fire TV (Android) app with proper TV navigation and a real home screen — not a web view in a shell.

Signed APK

Build & signing

We generate and sign the APK, and prepare the icon, banner and metadata your native Fire TV app needs.

apps.tappla.com

Delivered to you

We hand you the finished native app, store images and a submission guide via apps.tappla.com, ready to publish to the Amazon Appstore under your own free account.

How Tappla builds your Fire TV app

Three steps. No Android dev.

01

Connect your source

Point Tappla at the video you already run — Vimeo, an HLS live stream, a JSON feed or your own CDN. No re-uploads.

02

Brand & generate

Add your logo, colors and layout. Tappla generates a real native Fire TV (Android) app from your feed — no Java, no Kotlin, no Android SDK.

03

Publish to the Amazon Appstore

We build, sign and package the native app and deliver it via apps.tappla.com with store images and a step-by-step guide. You publish it to the Amazon Appstore under your own free Amazon developer account, and we can pre-create the listing for you.

Native, not a wrapper

A real native app — yours to keep.

We deliver the finished native Fire TV app via apps.tappla.com, ready to publish to the Amazon Appstore under your own free developer account. It's a real native Android app, not a web view in a shell, branded as yours, and the listing is permanently in your name.

One feed, three platforms

Fire TV today. Apple TV and Roku from the same feed.

The feed that powers your Fire TV app also generates a native Apple TV app and a Roku channel — one library to maintain, three stores covered.

The alternative

A custom Fire TV build.
Thousands of dollars.
Weeks of dev time.

That's what hiring an Android/Fire TV developer costs. With Tappla you connect a source and publish in days — and you own the result.

Questions

Building a Fire TV app, answered.

How do I build a Fire TV app? +

Tappla generates a real native Fire TV (Android) app and delivers it via apps.tappla.com, then you publish it to the Amazon Appstore under your own free Amazon developer account. With a builder you can do it in days, without coding.

Is a Fire TV app the same as an Android TV app? +

Fire OS is built on Android, so a Fire TV app is an Android TV app tuned for Amazon's devices. Tappla generates the native Android build and the store assets for Fire TV.

Can I build a Fire TV app without coding? +
