Using TVPosterImage in TVUIKit for tvOS 12

Question

tvOS 12 has a new framework TVUIKit, which introduces the lockup views. The class I am interested in is TVPosterView, which is basically designed as such:

Swift

Answer 1

Eventually I managed to make it working programmatically. I tested both TVPosterView and TVMonogramView (basically a round button). The following code works with Xcode 10 beta 5, on tvOS 12 beta 5:

Swift 4.2

import UIKit
import TVUIKit

class SecondViewController: UIViewController {

    var myPoster = TVPosterView()
    var myMonogram = TVMonogramView()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        myPoster.frame = CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 550, height: 625)
        myPoster.image = UIImage(named: "image1.png")
        myPoster.imageView.masksFocusEffectToContents = true
        myPoster.title = "Poster"
        myPoster.subtitle = "This is the poster subtitle"

        self.view.addSubview(myPoster)

        var myName = PersonNameComponents()
        myName.givenName = "Michele"
        myName.familyName = "Dall'Agata"

        myMonogram.frame = CGRect(x: 700, y: 100, width: 500, height: 475)
        myMonogram.image = UIImage(named: "image2.png")
        myMonogram.title = "Monogram"
        myMonogram.subtitle = "This is the Monogram subtitle"
        myMonogram.personNameComponents = myName

        self.view.addSubview(myMonogram)

        print(myMonogram.personNameComponents)
    }
}

I didn't manage to scale the poster's image with scaleAspectFit, though. Also my first image was rounded with a transparency, and only choosing a frame size that perfectly fit the squared image plus the titles (so no aspect fit needed), the glowing effect became transparent on the corners. Otherwise the whole image was opaque, using its own (quite small) rounded corners.
