Vega OS
Published: March 17, 2026
Video Description
In this video we explore React Native development for Fire TV using Amazon’s new Vega SDK.
🔥 Try Vega OS: https://fandf.co/4rsfxs4
Amazon recently introduced Vega OS, the operating system powering the next generation of Fire TV Sticks. Along with it comes a new React Native TV template that allows developers to build TV apps using the same React Native tools they already use for mobile.
In this video you’ll learn:
• What Vega OS is and why Amazon built it
• How to install the Vega SDK and use Vega Studio + Vega Developer Tools
• How to build your first Vega OS app with React Native
• How to run and test your app on Vega Virtual Device using the Vega CLI
• How to structure a monorepo to share code between Expo and Vega projects
If you’re already building apps with React Native, targeting TV devices is one of the best choices you can make - and I’ll show you how easy it is to get started, even if you are using Expo!
