Additional details
- tvOS 27 brings Large Text support to the platform, with sizes ranging up to Accessibility XXXL.

- SwiftUI and UIKit layout primitives such as `VStackLayout`, `HStackLayout`, `UIStackView`, and preferred content-size traits are used to adapt dense media interfaces.
- Apps that support Larger Text can indicate that support in Accessibility Nutrition Labels for tvOS on the App Store.
