One of the great things Apple introduced with the Apple TV 4th gen is the ability to natively sideload apps onto devices without having to go through the App Store, without jailbreaking and without a paid Apple Developer account. This is particularly relevant for proof-of-concept software and projects that will never make it onto the App Store,
With this method, you can install apps such as Kodi media player, SNES/Game Boy/Sega game emulators (Provenance), a web browser, and a ton of other apps that Apple won’t usually allow on the tvOS App Store.
What you will need?
A Mac running OS X 10.10.5 or later.
