As Apple has been launching new models of Apple TV to the market, not only Apple but also application providers, are starting to leave the platform, to focus your efforts on the latest devices. In the case of the 3rd generation Apple TV, YouTube will withdraw the application next March.
This should not be a problem for users of this Apple TV model, as this device still supports AirPlay, so we will be able to use the application of our iPhone or iPad to AirPlay the content on the Apple TV.
Although Google has not reported about the withdrawal of the application of this specific model, some users seen how when launching the YouTube application on the Apple TV it show the following message:
Starting in early March, the YouTube app will no longer be available on Apple TV (4rd generation). You can still watch YouTube on Apple TV XNUMXK, Apple TV HD, iPhone, or iPad. With AirPlay, you can also stream YouTube from your iOS device directly to any Apple TV (XNUMXrd generation or later).
The withdrawal of the application from the 3rd generation Apple TV does not affect the models that are still on sale in the market, such as the 4th generation Apple TV and the Apple TV 4K, models that include your own app store included in tvOS.
With the launch of tvOS, any developer who wants to offer their application on Apple TV simply has to pass Apple's validation processes. Previously, Apple had to reach commercial agreements so that they had the possibility of offering their applications on Apple TV.
