Kodi is one of the best-known and most popular media players for people who use multiple platforms. Not only can it play any file format, but it also lets you install a lot of add-ons that make it the only one of its kind.

For a long time, we were only able to Jailbreak and therefore not use the Apple TV. With the new fourth-generation model and the ability to use Xcode to install apps, we can now use the Apple device to watch it on the TV at home.

What is Kodi?

Kodi is an open-source media player software that provides a user-friendly interface to easily access and play digital media files from local and network storage media as well as the internet. Kodi is highly customizable with add-ons and skins and supports multiple operating systems including Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, IOS, Smart TV, Apple TV, MI Tv, Fire Sticks, Raspberry Pi, Chromebook, And Android TV Box making it a widely accessible multimedia platform.

Requirements

Have an account as a developer (free or paid). This link will tell you how to do it if you don’t know how.

Xcode and the developer account that goes with it. It’s free to download, and you can do so by clicking on this link. (Only works with Mac OS X),

This link lets you download the Kodi deb file (we recommend the latest version).

This link will take you to the “iOS App Signer” app, which you can download for free.
You’ll need an Apple TV from the 4th generation and a USB-C cable to connect it to your Mac.

Install Kodi on Apple TV

  1. Use the USB-C cable to connect your Apple TV to your computer
  2. Open Xcode and choose Project from the File > New menu.
  3. We choose “Single View Application” from the tvOS>Application menu and click “Next.”
  4. In the “Product name” field, we write “Kodi,” which is the name we want to give the project. Then we click “Next.”
  5. We choose where we want to save the project and then click the Create button.
  6. We choose our developer account linked to Xcode from the “Team” drop-down menu (as we said at the beginning of the article) and click the “Resolve problem” button if the yellow triangle shows up to fix any problems with the supply profile.
  7. Now that the yellow triangle is gone, we make Xcode as small as possible.
    We open the “iOS App Signer” app and go to “Signing Certificate” to make sure that our developer account is linked. We choose the “Provisioning Profile” that matches our “Kodi” project.
  8. Click “Browse” and choose the “del” file that we downloaded earlier. After that, we click “Open” and then “Start.”
  9. Once we’re done, we go back to Xcode and choose “Devices>Apple TV” from the “Window” menu in the top bar. Click “+” and then choose the “ipa” file we just made.

After a few minutes, the Kodi app will show up on the screen of our Apple TV so we can enjoy our media library and the addons we want to install. The links below will show you how to add media to your Kodi library:
