Fire OS

Fire OS is the operating system that runs on selected Amazon's Fire TV and tablets. Fire OS is a fork of Android, so if your app runs on Android, it will most likely run on Amazon's Fire devices too. As a developer, you might not have to adjust your Android code at all to publish your app.
