Install from a Windows computer (only for Apple TV 4)
What about the Apple TV 4K?
Unfortunately the Apple TV 4K does not have a USB-C. If you are not jailbroken the only official way to sideload Kodi on your device is to use Xcode on macOS with a wireless connection.
To get macOS on you computer you can use a virtual machine or check for building an hackintosh, but we will not discuss this here. |
Prerequisites
Cydia Impactor is still a work-in-progress, There might be some bugs that you face while installing Kodi. It is not for the faint of heart.
This method also requires that Kodi be re-installed every 7 days if you are using a free Apple developer account. |
- Cydia Impactor
- Windows 7 or higher
- Latest version of iTunes is needed to be installed.
- Latest .deb file of Kodi for TV OS from Test builds
- A USB-C cable, without that, you can't connect your Apple TV with computer
Converting deb into ipa
Before beginning the installation, you have to convert .deb file of Kodi into .ipa. That is because Cydia Impactor only accepts .ipa files and not .deb files. If you already know how to convert .deb into .ipa, you can skip to the installation below.
- You will need to Download 7-zip and install it in your PC
Follow the steps given below and you will be able to convert .deb file into .ipa file.

NOTICE: If you are using a free Apple developper account you will need to do this step every 7 days, so keep your IPA file on your computer |
