I just wonder how much more work would need to go into it? More than what MrMC has already done? Maybe there is a lot more to it, I'm not a programmer so forgive my ignorance . I just think the ATV Kodi community should be concentrated on sideloading only. Who cares what Apple approves?

Although MrMC is opensource, its also a paid for app on the app store.

I'm just guessing, but the former team members who set it up are hoping to make a business out of it. I believe its also possible to side-load it for free if you are that way technically inclined.

Some fixes have already made it back into Kodi mainline, so this isn't such a bad thing at all

Yes if you knew the contribution MrMC + co. has put into the Kodi project codebase over the years on a number of different platforms now, they deserve all the success that is coming too them. That it is Open source is fantastic for the Kodi community as everyone feeds code and bounces ideas off one another.
