bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle'
bundle install
# Call every time when want to install dependencies
bundle exec pod install

2. Open Apple-TV-Player.xcworkspace using Xcode/AppCode

3. Set your Development Team and BundleID for files:

How to pair Apple TV to Xcode

• Make sure Mac and Apple TV have the same network (“AirPlay and HomeKit” > “Allow Access” is set to “Anyone in the Same Network”)
• In Xcode open “Devices & Simulators” window
• On Apple TV open “Remote App And Device” > “Remote App And Device”
• Click “pair” and enter code
• If “pair” reappear again then turn off the wifi on your Mac for 10 seconds and then turn it on back (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/108459)
• Maybe needed to delete the TV from ignored list https://stackoverflow.com/a/63195311/3614746

How to install if Xcode fails to connect to Apple TV (but paired)

It is often the error found Xcode will continue when Apple TV is connected and unlocked. That is freaking issue, it is better to not spend time to fix this, but just use another way to install the app to Apple TV by building IPA manually and installing it on TV directly.

• Build IPA with fastlane

# Call once to configure bundler
bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle'
bundle install
# Call every time when want to create IPA file
bundle exec fastlane make_ipa

• Open Apple Configurator app
• Find there paired Apple TV (must be on the same network)
• Open there Apps section
• Drag-n-Drop the generated IPA file

If Apple Configurator app does not see your paired Apple TV

• Unpack generated ipa (ipa it is just zip archive)
• Find there ****.app/ directory
• Open Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators
• In Devices section find your Apple TV
• Click Add installed app plus button
• Select there ****.app/ directory

Update / Delete existed playlist (Home Screen only)

Long tap on TV Remote or press Play/Pause TV Remote button.

Set / Delete playlist pin code (Home Screen only)
