Last Monday, Apple presented the four operating systems that will arrive in approximately three months: iOS 10, macOS Sierra, watchOS 3 and, what this post is about, tvOS 10. The new version of the operating system for the set top box of Apple will come with some interesting news, such as a more capable Siri that you can search on YouTube or the Dark Mode that you see above these lines. If you are developers and want to try it, in this article we will explain how to install tvOS 10 beta without having to connect Apple TV to a Mac.
Until now, testing tvOS betas was not the easiest task in the world even as a developer. Normally it is necessary to connect the Apple TV to a Mac, but has discovered a way to do it in which you will only need an iPhone with the Remote and Dropbox applications and have one Apple Developer account, that is, developer (the free account is not worth it). You have detailed the whole process below.
How to install tvOS 10 beta
- Let's go to the Apple Developer page, We download the profile and save it in Dropbox.
- On the Apple TV, let's Settings / General / Privacy and we are on top of Send to Apple.
- Above Send to Apple, we press the Play button.
- We click on Add Profile and we accept.
- We remove the URL that is shown to us.
- Now we take the iPhone, open Dropbox and go to the folder that has the configuration profile.
- We tap on the button next to the configuration profile, then on Send Link and then on Copy link in the sharing sheet.
- We open the Remote application, select the keyboard and paste the URL that we copied in the previous step.
- We change the 0 at the end of the URL to 1 and press the Enter key.
- The Apple TV will ask us for a restart. We reboot.
- Finally, we will Settings / System / Software Update and we installed the iOS 10 beta version.
Following the steps well should not be a problem. Of course, as always, say that we do not recommend installing software in the trial phase For the problems that we may be experiencing, and less on a device that we do not control as much as an iPhone. If you decide to install it, do not hesitate to leave your experience in the comments.
Is there any way to update apple tv 3 to tv os?
Good, Facebook closes itself and Twitter when you give a notification does not go to it, it simply goes to Twitter, navigation fails enough the links. For now, the rest is fine and I like the appearance.
Hello! And there is no way to install it without the developer account and if you have a Mac? Thanks.
Hello Jose. The tvOS betas are the hardest to use. You will need a developer to send you a profile or to install it on your Apple TV.
A greeting.
Thank you very much Juanma. It's nice with colleagues like you !!!
People installed it without problems? I know
I keep adding profile and never restart ...
Hi, exactly the same thing happens to me. It stays forever "adding profile." When I click on the menu after getting bored, it seems that the profile has been installed correctly, I restart on my own and I search for updates and in principle it seems to be going well, the beta appears and I download (it takes 2-3 hours, horrible). The problem is that when it finishes it asks you if you want to install and you hit Ok, and suddenly it loops and tells you again that there is a version to install and it starts to download again ... ;-( ... happen? Do you know why it takes so long to download?
