The expectation is to deliver the same feature set that Kodi does for the AppleTV4/4K, that supports topshelf, the siri remote and fits in well with the tvOS experience.

The team are currently tackling the major items (let's call these the `big rocks` e.g. binary addons, storage etc.) and they understand what these are. We even understand what the medium sized rocks (e.g. refresh rates etc.) are and we'll need these too before we have something that we can provide test builds for. Once we begin to provide test builds this is when the community can help with figuring out what's left to tackle (i.e. the little rocks). If we provide test builds before this time we will be inundated with reports of things that don't work that we already know about . We hope you guys, our users understand this, the support burden would be immense if we provide early access builds before we deem them ready.

Thanks to @Memphiz for his work on which the majority of this is based on and to @davilla from MrMc for all their support. Thanks to @sy6sy2 for getting the tooling up and running and @kambala and @Fuzzard for contributing the lion's share of the work so far.

For those of you that are brave enough you can try to build this yourself (tvOS Build), but please bear in mind this is not ready for mainstream and the more time the team speed build questions the less time spent on getting it ready for Kodi 19!

Note: there are site's online selling Kodi 19 for tvOS, they are just re-selling (an outdated version of) what the team are working on. Please don't expect support for tvOS until it's officially launched with (hopefully) Kodi 19.

Decisions on when and how we release and update kodi today is with the team. To go to the App Store would mean it would be at the behest of Apple and not something we would have the capacity to support.
