You should be able to add this code to a customcontroller.SiriRemote.xml file:

xml:
<keymap>
<global>
<customcontroller name="SiriRemote">
<!-- up --> <button id="1">Up</button>
<!-- down --> <button id="2">Down</button>
<!-- left --> <button id="3">Left</button>
<!-- right --> <button id="4">Right</button>
<!-- center --> <button id="5">Select</button>
<!-- menu --> <button id="6">Back</button>
<!-- hold center --> <button id="7">ContextMenu</button>
<!-- swipe up --> <!-- <button id="8">FirstPage</button> -->
<!-- swipe down --> <!-- <button id="9">LastPage</button> -->
<!-- swipe left --> <button id="10">FullScreen</button>
<!-- swipe right --> <button id="11">Skin.ToggleDebug()</button>
<!-- play/pause --> <button id="12">PlayPause</button>
<!-- ir play --> <button id="13">Play</button>
<!-- ir pause --> <button id="14">Pause</button>
<!-- ir stop --> <button id="15">Stop</button>
<!-- ir next track --> <button id="16">SkipNext</button>
<!-- ir prev track --> <button id="17">SkipPrevious</button>
<!-- ir fast forward --> <button id="18">FastForward</button>
<!-- ir rewind --> <button id="19">Rewind</button>
</customcontroller>
</global>

In the above example swiping right should toggle the Skin Debugging window but you can customize it to your liking.

Do the following:
Create a new file at your nfs- or smb-server with the following name: customcontroller.SiriRemote.xml (click the link the see the xml code)
Open that file and copy the linked code into it, save the file
Start Kodi, go to the Kodi file manager
On the left side of the file manager choose "Profile Directory - Keymaps"
On the right side of the file manager choose the path to the keymap customcontroller.SiriRemote.xml on your nfs- or smb server
Copy that file by the context menu (normally hold the center key) to your apple tv 4k directory "Profile Directory - Keymaps"
Exit Kodi and start it again, Now it should work "as expected".

Credit goes to @hoppel118 for the above instructions to add the xml file using tvOS Smile

I hope this helps you.
