[FIXED] How do I let tvOS know not to start the screensaver

Issue

I have a tvOS application that draws generative art. I'd like to avoid the screensaver kicking in while my app is running. During development, I find that the screensaver starts after the amount of time listed in the system prefs. Is there a way to tell it not to start?

Solution

This is managed via the idletimer of your application. Disabeling it will prevent sleepmode on iOS and the coresponding screensaver on tvOS
