I got my Apple TV Developer Kit today - feeling really lucky BUT looks like it's missing a USB-C cable?
I could only find 2 cables out of the box and it's the black power cord and a white USB to lightning cable. After searching in here I found that there should be a USB-C cable included, according to this post: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/19428
Hopefully I can get one from shops.. Anyone know if this cable is standard/common?
ATV dev kit is not available here in China and I had to buy the public released ATV 4 from hongkong, no surprise that the USB-C to USB-A cable is not included in the package. When I opened the box and saw the white lightning cable, and just found that there is no lightning port on ATV but the Siri remote, then I connected the remote to my Mac, and I was thrilled to tell my dev mate BEFORE I checked on my Mac -
"Dude, Apple is genius, they do not need us connect Mac to ATV, but the remote.... it is ******* awesome that we don't have to code the app close to the big screen."
And, it is quite embarrsing when I just found it does not work that way and I have to buy a C-A cable.
Thank the "made in china" thing, I got one generic usb-c to usb-a cable for only $2 and it works just fine.
Its funny that they say that its recommended when its really required for most use cases. Managed to snag one from my local Frys.
