Apple TV is Set Up for Installing Applications
Posted October 4, 2010 at 3:07pm by iClarified
Developer Steve Troughton-Smith has discovered that the new Apple TV is set up for installing applications.
"You can definitely add an AppleTV to the provisioning portal, and if you give an app a UIDeviceFamily of 3 it will install on it when signed"
"The application definitely installs on the AppleTV, I used iPhone Explorer to verify"
"So, not only is the AppleTV set up for installing applications (of UIDeviceFamily 3), but the installation actually works"
It seems like only a matter of time until enterprising hackers figure out how to modify Lowtide to launch applications.
Stay tuned!
