Team Kodi first ported Kodi (then called XBMC Media Center) software to iOS in 2011, and the whole project cross-platform application was renamed to Kodi in 2014. Kodi itself is a huge open source project and it takes loads of people working together to maintain it for all platforms, that is why Team Kodi is always on the lookout for C/C++ programmers to volunteer in assisting us with the development of Kodi. Whether you have contributed to the Kodi project in the past or not, please consider doing so now.
End-users (non-programmers)
You can help too by installing Kodi for Apple TV/iDevices, testing it, and reporting bugs and issues. Also, spread the word about Kodi for iOS to your friends and family, we are sure they will enjoy it too.
