Can't Load Builds onto Apple TV 4K

Hi all,


Is anyone else unable to wirelessly load a build onto their Apple TV 4K?


There are three ways to do this that I know of:

  1. Directly by running the build attached to Xcode (Run/Debug option)
  2. Using Xcode's Devices window (Drag and drop)
  3. Using Apple Configurator from the Mac App Store (Drag and drop)


Of the three, only the first option works. The other two options fail out at various points.


#2 fails with the error message: "There was an internal API error".

#3 loads a build onto the device (you can see a blank tile on the home screen), but attempting to launch it results in an error on the Apple TV 4K itself: "Unable to Install <app name>. This app could not be installed.".


I am able to load a build using all 3 methods just fine on an Apple TV 4.

What OS version are you running on Apple TV 4K, and which Xcode version do you have installed?

The 4k is running tvOS 11.1, and Xcode is 9.1 (9B55).

Hey @BTH, any further insight?
