Hi,
This might be a silly question, but is there a fundamental reason why Kodi for Apple TV can't be approved by Apple? Plex is on there, and links to a back-end for scraped metadata.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the unofficial plugins, but wouldn't it be possible to provide a version that will only work with the official Kodi repository? I'm sure most users (certainly the ones the team is most interested in) would only use entirely legal plugins anyway.
It's such a shame that there is a need for the jailbreak. I personally have no intention of jailbreaking my new ATV4, as I suspect this would affect my ability to install other apps or update the software. I'd personally rather just have the one device for everything, including Kodi, but an AppleTV and a Raspberry Pi is not a bad combination.
Best wishes all.
