Apple Seeds tvOS 27 Beta 3 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the third beta of tvOS 27 to developers for testing purposes, with the update coming two weeks after Apple released the second beta.

The beta can be downloaded and installed through the Settings app on the Apple TV. A free developer account is required.

tvOS 27 has few new features compared to the other 27 software updates, but it does add a redesigned Podcasts app, options for larger text, and a more responsive Control Center.

AirPlaying to an Apple TV from another Apple device is faster, and apps and animations are smoother. You can also now see AppleCare coverage details in the Settings app.

More on the features in tvOS 27 can be found in our Apple TV roundup.

I hope it corrects the “unable to connect to AirPlay” issue when you’re not even trying. Also, some more stability for high resolution Apple Music streaming would be nice….

Oh yeah I got that too and it took forever to clear it.

Same. It appeared like 3 days ago, and I have this beta installed for 14 days now... strange.

Same! This just started a couple days ago and homekit quit working for some matter devices when this error started too. Switching it to my other Apple TV as the main Home Hub resolved that piece though.

Looks like it has.. not come up for me since I updated..

Similar to me. My apple music would fail to play audio through my hompemods more than half the time.

Anything from pausing and playing, skipping tracks or even picking a whole new album to play.

The only way around it was either closing the music app or worst case rebooting the Apple TV and sometimes HomePods.

At first I put it down to my HomePods being stuck on 26. But maybe it’s a tvOS issue as well.

Either way, looking forward to the HomePod os 27 public beta this month.

Yes, that was very annoying and I could never figure out what triggered it.

That "unable to connect to Airplay" business hit me over the weekend, and was driving me nuts. Glad to see that others had it. A couple times I could only fix it by unplugging the AppleTV for a few minutes then plugging it back in. Sure hope this new beta fixes it.

I had that happen to me twice.

Still waiting for the new Apple TV to be "imminently" released. But, at this point, I am too afraid of the price.

I updated as soon as I got home last night, when the first thing I saw when I turned on the TV to watch the USA/Belgium match was this damned warning. So I paused the recording, ran the upgrade, and no issues after that. We'll see how long it holds. I've been using betas of Apple software since the late 80's at least, and this it the most annoying thing that's happened to me. I guess I've been lucky.

This was pretty annoying, but not unexpected from a beta. I also had a few streaming apps crash on me in beta 2. So far so good with beta 3.

I found a way to get rid of the Airplay error that constantly pops up, sounds silly but i did a full reset of my Apple TV 4K, erase everything. Resign in with your iphone and no errors so far, even after restarting device and leaving for awhile. Let me know if this works for you.
