taizn

Tizen TV packaging, install, remote-control, and live proof harness.

Generic platform mechanics for consumer app repos that need repeatable Samsung TV delivery checks.

Install

pnpm add -D @putdotio/taizn

Node >=24.19

Install the Tizen command-line tools separately and make sure tizen and sdb work locally.

Quick Start

Create taizn.json in the app directory, keep .taizn/ ignored, then run:

pnpm exec taizn check
pnpm exec taizn package
pnpm exec taizn install
pnpm exec taizn run

Common project files:

Path	Purpose
taizn.json	App build, widget, signing, and variant config
.taizn/.env	Optional local secrets read by Node
.taizn/certificates/	Optional local author and distributor certs
.taizn/remote.json	Optional paired Samsung TV remote token
.taizn/seller.json	Local Seller Office browser connection state
.taizn/seller/	Dedicated human-owned Chrome profile
.taizn/build/	Generated package staging and output

Config

{
  "build": {
    "command": ["pnpm", "build"],
    "output": "dist",
    "requiredFiles": ["main.css", "main.js"]
  },
  "signing": {
    "certificateDir": ".taizn/certificates",
    "profile": "my-tizen-profile"
  },
  "widget": {
    "configXml": "platforms/tizen/config.xml",
    "indexHtml": "platforms/tizen/index.html",
    "injectWebapis": true,
    "rewriteAssetUrls": false,
    "variants": {
      "development": {
        "applicationId": "ExampleDev.app",
        "bundleName": "example-dev",
        "icon": "platforms/tizen/icons/dev.png",
        "name": "Example Dev",
        "packageId": "ExampleDev"
      },
      "production": {
        "applicationId": "Example.app",
        "bundleName": "example",
        "icon": "platforms/tizen/icon.png",
        "indexHtml": "platforms/tizen/hosted.html",
        "injectWebapis": true,
        "name": "Example",
        "packageId": "Example",
        "rewriteAssetUrls": false
      }
    }
  }
}

Variant indexHtml, injectWebapis, and rewriteAssetUrls values override the top-level widget values. Variant excludeFiles values are added to top-level widget.excludeFiles. Use them when development packages should bundle local app assets but production packages should load hosted asset URLs.

Automation

Prefer JSON and artifacts when taizn feeds another tool:

pnpm exec taizn describe
pnpm exec taizn check --json --fields targets,tools.sdb
pnpm exec taizn prove --dry-run --json --fields application.id,target Example.app
pnpm exec taizn prove --json --artifact .taizn/proof.json Example.app
pnpm exec taizn prepare submission --json --artifact .taizn/submission.json package.wgt
pnpm exec taizn validate submission --json --fields ok,problems
pnpm exec taizn seller login --dry-run --json
pnpm exec taizn seller apps list --json --artifact .taizn/seller-apps.json
pnpm exec taizn tv doctor --connect --json --artifact .taizn/tv-doctor.json

Use --dry-run before mutating platform state when the command supports it. Artifact paths must stay inside the app directory; .taizn/... is the normal home for local proof state.

Command Surface

Command	Purpose
describe	Print the machine-readable command surface
check	Verify Tizen CLI, sdb, and target readiness
apps	List installed target applications
launch	Start an already-installed app
prove	Resolve, launch, and record installed-app proof
inspect wgt	Read neutral .wgt archive metadata
prepare submission	Create a deterministic signed-WGT manifest
validate submission	Check generic package metadata
probe hosted-assets	Discover or probe hosted asset URLs
logs capture	Record a bounded sdb dlog -d snapshot
targets list / targets current	Report configured and connected target state
profile	Import local Tizen signing certificates
package	Build and sign a .wgt
install	Package and sideload the widget
run	Launch the configured variant application
seller login	Open the human-owned Seller Office browser profile
seller apps list	Read sanitized Seller Office application status
tv doctor / tv info	Inspect Samsung TV remote-control readiness
tv pair / tv press / tv script	Pair and send Samsung remote-control key sequences

See Samsung TV Remote for pairing, environment, and limits.

Environment

Copy .env.example into .taizn/.env or export values in the shell:

TAIZN_CERT_PASSWORD=...
TAIZN_DIST_PASSWORD=...
TAIZN_VARIANT=development
TAIZN_TARGET=<tv-ip>:26101
TAIZN_TIZEN_CLI=~/tizen-studio/tools/ide/bin/tizen
TAIZN_SDB=~/tizen-studio/tools/sdb
TAIZN_SELLER_BROWSER=/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome
TAIZN_TV_HOST=<tv-ip>
TAIZN_TV_PORT=8002
TAIZN_TV_PROTOCOL=wss
TAIZN_TV_TOKEN=<paired-remote-token>

taizn tv uses TAIZN_TV_HOST, or the host part of TAIZN_TARGET when no TV host is set. taizn tv pair writes the paired remote token to .taizn/remote.json; keep .taizn/ ignored.

taizn seller login opens a dedicated visible Chrome profile under .taizn/ and stores only its localhost DevTools port in .taizn/seller.json. Complete Samsung login yourself; Taizn does not request or read passwords, cookies, MFA, or browser tokens. See Seller Office for the supported read-only workflow and recovery steps.

Boundaries

taizn owns platform mechanics: Tizen CLI, sdb, widget archives, local submission preparation, Samsung remote keys, target inventory, logs, hosted-asset probes, and proof artifacts. Consumer apps own product journeys, credentials, app IDs, content IDs, account state, visual assertions, release decisions, and Samsung TV Seller Office portal mutations. Taizn's Seller Office surface is limited to a human-owned local browser session and sanitized read-only discovery.
