I went back and rechecked everything. Following the transfer of the latest tvOS build from iTunes, AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes. Since you are saying this is expected behavior it appears my hardware is responding appropriately in that regard. I have confirmed the AppleTV Dev Kit connects to the network and my iTunes developer profile account has been entered. XCode 7.1 beta still contines to show "No devices connected to My Mac" when I access the devices/simulators menu. I have tried the following
Unplugging all cables from AppleTV dev kit, connecting only USB-C to Mac Book Pro. Then power cable. Launching XCode 7.1 before and after USB connection, etc... One thing worth noting. When I connect the USB-C cable XCode does show "waiting on device" very briefly in the center toolbar region under the top menu (where it shows the build time stamp). The "waiting on device" message occurs when USB-C cable is connected and last about a second.
What additional steps must be taken on the AppleTV Dev Kit in order to enable XCode to connect to it? Do I need to install a provisioned profile like is required on iOS devices? Again, I have given AppleTV my AppleID which is the same AppleID tied to my provisioned profile. Are there additional steps/any steps in XCode 7.1 required to make it identify the AppleTV device or does this reconition happen automatically?
Thank You!
