I've been trying lots of times to connect my xcode with AppleTV wirelessly.I could input PIN code shown on Apple TV for pairing to xcode,and then xcode comes stuck with the message "setting up appletv name." and a loading image.I googled again and again and found some had the same situation with me.https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8353737I've already done the following things.- reset AppleTV- completely remove xcode and reinstall it- reboot AppleTV, xcode, MacOSHere is my environment.AppleTV A1842 tvOS 11.4.1xcode v9.4.1MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6Thank you in advance.

I would love to see more integration between HomeKit and Siri Shortcuts - a common request I get for my app, Home Flash for HomeKit, is to flash a light when motion is detected, or a button is pressed, but it's not possible today. I could envision this being implemented in one of two ways: Allow a scene to execute a Siri Intent, so an 'Intruder' scene could turn on my porch light, and trigger a Siri Intent either on my phone or Apple TV to flash my bedroom or office light. This is my preferred way, since as a 3rd party developer, I have the ability to create Scene's for my users. Add more flexibility to HomeKit Automations that are Converted to Shortcuts, so that I could direct my users in how to do this

Can I pair Xcode 10.2 with Apple TV 4K running tvOS 13.4.6? I have tried numerous times via wireless and Ethernet connection on the same network. I can see the Apple TV from Xcode. When I choose the pair option from Xcode I get the pin on my Apple TV, enter it, then get the error ‘General failure while pairing over the network‘, retrying always gives the same error message in Xcode. If I try to add the device using + sign an the message ‘This device has been ignored in the Device panel.’ Note: I do not see my mac on the Apple TV pairing screen. My iPhone and iPad both show up. I unpaired these and still no luck. I downloaded the device support codes for 13.4 into the Xcode device support directory but still unable to connect. is there a specified version of Xcode required for tvOS 13.4.6?

Hi there. Im using the apple tv app in 4 different equipments, and Ive noticed that the movies and tv shows on ipad pro 10.5 and ipad mini 5 are too dark. Even in daylight scenes. Even with the ipad in maximum brightness. That doent happen in my iphone SE, and using the apple tv through the browser in my Macbook Pro. Is it possible to fix this?

Does AppleTV 4K support HLG in any configuration? When I connect my AppleTV 4K to a Samsung TV with HLG support via HDMI AVPlayer.availableHDRModes.contains(.hlg) returns false However AVPlayer.availableHDRModes.contains(.hdr10) returns true https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208074 only mentions HDR10 and Dolby Vision support. Is there any way to play HLG video on AppleTV 4K similar to how it works on newer iPhones and iPads?

I'm really struggling to get a reliable connection to my Apple TV4 from Xcode. Using these steps: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208088 When it works, it's beautiful. But when I make a couple of changes to the code and redeploy the Apple TV goes black (was formally running our app), and Xcode tells me to connect the Apple TV. Occasionally I get a message saying "This device has been ignored in the devices panel", which isn't as helpful as it sounds. Checking the Devices and Simulators menu, I can see it's disconnected. I have tried the following: Restarting the Apple TV Restarting Xcode Unpairing the Mac from the Apple TV Confirmed all devices are on the exact same wifi (e.g. not a 2.4g one) When I run through the steps to connect again it just fails quietly in the Devices and Simulators, stays in the "Discovered" section, and only asks me to "pair". It has no problem interacting with the Apple TV to prompt it for a 6 digit code. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My Apple TV HD used to turn on automatically when switching to it via Anynet+ on an old Samsung tv. I understand that since tvOS 13, only the MENU and TV buttons (and their related CEC equivalent codes) wake up the Apple TV. So, currently, under tvOS 14.3, my Apple TV HD is no longer switching on automatically when using the tv receiver, and I have to switch it on by using either the Apple TV remote or the iPhone remote widget. I found a solution by teaching Apple TV to learn my tv remote; however, even in basic setup, the arrow left, right, up, down, etc. commands, once learned, conflicts with the tv own menus and commands (using the down arrow to change HDMI input also moves down in Apple TV, for example). So, as an alternative, I reprogrammed the basic buttons by using "fakes" physical buttons for everything but the MENU button, which finally switches the Apple TV on. It would be however much simpler if an option could be added to the Apple TV software so that, for owners of old TV sets like me, the functionality to switch the AppleTV on from "any button" is added back, as it was prior to tvOS 13. Or, alternatively, that just a single remote button could be learned by the Apple TV (instead of 6 in current basic setup). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Regards.

I'm new in SwiftUI and Apple TV applications and I was wondering how to detect swipe gesture on remote control for TvOS in SwiftUI for the ContentView. Every time I search I just found solutions for UIKit or for iPhone/iPad since the drag gesture is not available to tvOS. The plan for this gesture when swipe left or right present menus/side panels on the screen and focus on theses views. Can anyone give some advice/tutorial or demo? Thanks in advance and KR, rpessoa

The 14.7 update is causing some havoc with my Apple TV 4th Generation Apple TV. And it is driving me crazy!!! Anyone?

I have downloaded movies from iTunes to my iPad. I purchased them and downloaded them directly. When I plug the iPad into my TV via HDMI there is no data consumption at all over the WAN source. When I try to Airplay to an Apple TV 4K latest version, the same movie attempts to stream instead of playing from the local file. I am trying to understand why the Apple TV forces the downloaded movie to stream instead of playing from the local copy on the iPad.

I've paired Apple TVs a lot of times but today I have tried on 2 devices and Xcode Devices and Simulators screen is not showing a device on left side of window, therefore I cannot pair. Help. Using Xcode 12.5.1 and Apple Tv 4Ks are updated to 14.7

Hi, I am trying to implement Sign In with Apple in Apple TV. The moment I click on "Sign In", I get a screen that says "A notification has been sent to nearby devices that are signed in with apple Id". However, when notification arrives in my iPhone, nothing happens on click of notification. In some days before, it worked, I can sign in with my Apple ID when tap on that notification, but now, the notification just disappeared and nothing happened Any suggestion or solution would be of great help. Thanks.

HI! I am developing a service for fans of movies and TV series. One of the features of the service is to view lists of sources where you can watch the film or series you're interested in. This includes AppleTV. Is it possible to access the AppleTV API with the ability to search for movies by title or by tmdbid or imdbid? For example for "Cars 2" I'd like to get a link https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/cars-2/umc.cmc.4qadx6arnfd0e5la03oodc4j1

My Apple TV 4K-2 has the developer HUD enabled. I am unable to turn it off wirelessly. The Developer option has disappeared from Settings on the Apple TV so I can't turn off the Developer HUD. Xcode 12.5.1 discovery sees the device and says that it needs to be paired. Apple TV remote App and Devices says that is already paired. I pair it again in XCode. The device shows as paired on the Apple TV, but Xcode still just gives me the "Pair with ..." message. Same thing if I remove the existing pairing and try it again. Did a restart on the Apple TV but it changed nothing. Don't want to do a reset as there are a lot of settings that would be lost.

These episodes completely break the way Watch Now works. Are there plans to allow a user to configure the AppleTV app to Ignore these "special episodes" within Watch Now? This seems to be a very simple but VERY impactful change to the way this app functions.

i want to integrate a interface to controll a Apple TV over my own app but i couldn't find any documentation about that. Can someone give me a hint?

Hi, We have a narrowcasting app that runs for long periods at a time on TvOS 14.4 without issues, however after updating the apple 4k tv to 14.6 or 14.7 the apple tv 'crashes' before 24 hours. This problem doesn't occur on a full HD apple tv. The crashes aren't logged in our crash logging system (Sentry) So we don't think the App crashes it. We suspect the app gets closed by the apple tv after a certain amount of time. Are there any changes in TvOS 14.5/14.6/14.7 that could be related to this issue?

Since Apple TV can pair with a universal remote, the siri remote and the new 2021 siri remote that has the dpad on it, we need a way to distinguish between each unique remotes. Are there APIs for getting the details of the remote being used in tvOS? Reason for this is we want to handle separate logics in using the old vs new siri remote.

On the newest AppleTV 4K, I have updated to TVOS 15. Because of that, Xcode 12.5.1 is building, but never runs the project because of the fetchsymbols issue: Failed to start remote service "com.apple.dt.fetchsymbols" on device. Please help! My option was to downgrade, however, it is not doable on the newest AppleTV 4K, 2021.
