The newest iteration of the Apple TV (Apple TV 4 K) doesn’t have a USB port anymore, which makes it harder to add third-party software to it. Using a Kodi on an Apple TV is still possible, but it requires more work than it would usually take to install Kodi.

There are two recommended ways to install kodi on apple TV 4K. The regular method to install Kodi is to use a Mac and Xcode, which is a little troublesome. And there is another way to do it, that is to install Emotn Store on your Apple TV and then sideload any apps you want from Emotn Store.

Method 1: Install kodi on Apple TV 4K use a Mac and Xcode

On the next page, change the middle button to "ON", and an IP address will be automatically generated here.
