Hi, anyone side loaded Kodi on iOS 11 yet? I have installed both but do not get a keyboard when doing and input (creating a new source in file manager for example). Tried different skins and different versions of 64bit Kodi, always the same. Any function that requires a keyboard input causes the display to freeze (although looks like Kodi is still running and waiting on an input). Log file is here

Suspect it is something to do with the new keyboard options in iOS 11.
NOTE: Once you activate a keyboard input, it is impossible to get back to Kodi so you have to kill the app....so not sure if it captures the correct log!
UPDATE: Here is the old log file from previous run (sorry)
https://paste.ubuntu.com/24799274/ reading the log, can see this:-
[/code]08:49:40.423 T:6408204288 DEBUG: Thread keyboard start, auto delete: false
08:49:40.496 T:6408204288 ERROR: Action - thread keyboard, Unhandled exception caught in thread process, aborting. auto delete: 0
I'm seeing the same behavior on iOS 11beta1 on a 2017 ipad using the arm64 deb for 17.3. Freezes when keyboard is called up. Otherwise it works fine.
That has to wait until ios 11 is released because i never do betas (and have no payed developer account anyways). Would be great if one of you would be a real developer. I think this can be fixed pretty easily once debugged.
Same thing, used my mac Bluetooth keyboard to type, and still gives me no pvr add-on enabled when I try to type it’s a kodi issue not the iOS
Am I running the wrong version it wont even open on my iPad. I thought it was because it was a 32bit app.
Hey @
Memphiz,
I am a very real developer and also have a payed apple developer account.
If you could give me access to the source code and perhaps a little setup guide I would be able to build a tvOS 11 compatible version.
As you obviously know, debugging with only having a .deb file is not possible...
My AppleTV is also running on tvOS 11, therefore I would really like to fix this issue. (it effects me as well).
Ok great
- i am pretty comfortable staying in english if its ok for you too?
https://github.com/memphiz/xbmc/tree/yab - this is the tvos branch
There is no tvos readme yet. Use the ios readme as a base her:
https://github.com/Memphiz/xbmc/blob/yab...README.ios
Start at point 3.2 but don't execute the configure like mentioned in the readme but do it for tvos like pointed out here:
https://github.com/Memphiz/xbmc/blob/yab...README#L18
Getting all the depends to build is the most struggling part. If it fails at one point - try a make without -j (for multithreaded compile) and figure out which package failed.
Once you got the failing package you manually redo this package by hitting:
make -C target/failed_package distclean
make -C target/failed_package
Do this until it states that dependencies were built successfully.
Everything else is according to the reame but you need to pick the tvos target in xcode then and fixup certificate settings and bundle names to your dev account.
The code for the native keyboard support is in MainKeyboard and MainKeyboardView here:
https://github.com/Memphiz/xbmc/tree/yab...arwin/tvos
Hey Memphiz,
thank you for the information.
I am comfortable with english as well
Cloning now...
Let me give it a shot.
If I run into any trouble I can't fix on my own I will contact you again.
Hopefully I will find the time to fix the issue within the next few days.
Has anyone tried Kodi with the new beta 2 just released?
I am also having this issue on IPhone.
Edit:
Just updated to Beta 2 and the issue is still there.
I have a developer account so if I may be of any help, please let me know.
Edit2: I was able to use the back up program and load my configuration without needing to use the keyboard. A second issue had appeared. Whenever a video is going to start, the app crashes completely. Has anyone experience this?
Hi, any progress on the keyboard fix?
Hey there,
I did not find the time to fix the bug, yet, sorry.
I will probably fix it this weekend.
Please have in mind that these iOS / tvOS / macOS releases are beta.
Therefore should not be used by non apple developers or with having in mind that many things won't work as expected
I will do my best to find the time this weekend because I am also annoyed by this bug!
How are you guys side loading Kodi? I was using cydia impactor but that dose not seem to work on ios11.
Hey everyone... I side loaded Kodi 17.3 onto tvOS 11, seeing same behavior. I have no keyboard on display. I haven't been able to bluetooth a keyboard to my ATV, however, considering there is no on screen keyboard, I don't believe it would work. The Apple remote app doesn't seem to even the keyboard option, during any moment, you would need it to. It's jus not being triggered. Good luck!

Xcode still works to sideload Kodi. If you don't have a Mac to accomplish this, just download a macOS virtual machine.
