Apple Seeds First Beta of tvOS 14 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Now that today's WWDC keynote event is over, Apple is seeding new software updates to developers, including tvOS 14, the latest version of the tvOS software designed to run on fourth and fifth-generation Apple TV models.

The tvOS 14 beta can be downloaded onto an Apple TV through a profile installed using Xcode.

tvOS 14 introduces the Home app for the Apple TV, adding native HomeKit integration that lets you control smart home products right from the TV.

With the Home app, you can do things like view HomeKit Secure Video footage on the TV, either full screen or in a windowed mode while you view other content.

Apple Arcade games now support multiple users, so when you switch profiles, you can keep your game progress even if others in the home are playing the same game.

tvOS 14 is limited to developers at the current time, but later this summer, Apple will provide a public beta of the software to public beta testers. tvOS 14 will be released this fall alongside iOS and iPadOS 14, macOS 10.16, and watchOS 7.

Did they talk about this during the conference?

They did. PIP is the main attraction.

 

[kirky29]

I’m just hoping it’ll be faster. the whole interface animations feel slow and sluggish to me. Switching between the previous apps usually stutters too

 

[ouimetnick]

Anyone know if it allows you to set the HomePod as a permanent target instead of selecting it every time?

Any new features for the HomePod?

 

[AppleTO]

Is the HD (non 4K) version of the Apple TV still supported?

 

[JWort93]

Yes, supports the 4th Gen (Apple TV HD) and newer.

when you do. Can you post if YouTube 4K is now supported?

 

[narenh]

All I want is audio bitstream support and I know it's never gonna happen and I should stop hoping but UGH

 

[zaneliu]

when you do. Can you post if YouTube 4K is now supported?

I can try but I'm running off a projector that doesn't support 4K. May not see the toggle

 

[Zorn]

Has the update shown up for anyone yet? I installed the tvOS profile and it just says the Apple TV is up to date.

 

[jimtut]

tvOS 14 will be released this fall alongside iOS and iPadOS 14, macOS 10.16, and watchOS 7.

Please update the article to say "macOS 11.0", not "10.16".

 

[dan71]

Does the audio sharing is working with two Bluetooth device simultaneously ?

 

[Joniz]

Someone please tell me they fixed the increasingly f’d up Unwatched list in Computers app.

 

[acctman]

I'm not gonna brick my Apple TV can someone post the new features? Like any new OS a lot of apps don't work right away until they're updated. I use my Apple TV to much to risk that...

 

[zaneliu]

Has the update shown up for anyone yet? I installed the tvOS profile and it just says the Apple TV is up to date.

Nope, haven't gotten an update either.

 

[Ant2369]

Still no update

 

[JWort93]

I got the update right away after installing the profile. No real issues so far.

Oh weird! Maybe it'll come eventually

 

[ejfontenot]

Oh weird! Maybe it'll come eventually

My 4th Gen updated immediately. 4K won’t. Also weird is that I don’t have the “Beta” option on my 4K
