The one or two things I read about it seems to have fixed the issue.
@azizkaraman I found the 05.30.10 Update for my LG 55UK7700LLA on the german support side for this model. Works with my iMac, iPad and MacBook. Max Resolution (Easy) 1080p NTSC. DOn't know why there is no option of PAL and 50Hz (im in Germany).

Update now available here in Austria for my 43UK6950PLB as well, but only as update from the LG webpage.
Installing it was no issue. Airplay2 is working fine.
But homekit integration needs improvement.
I can switch the TV on and change the input source.
I can not change the volume and when I switch it off it switches on again after a few seconds.
Tried it several times, no luck. No matter if I switch it off by remote or over my iPhone / iPad.
Only after removing the TV from homekit again, I could permanently switch it of...
So, at least for the moment, no homekit integration for me :-(

It seems now that the update version switched from 05.30.02 to 05.30.10 for this bunch of TVs.so it's finally out now for my 55UK6300MLB - SW File (Version 05.30.10) yes yes yes
Yesssss. Finally I could update my 55 uk 7550 pla via dowloanding the file from website. So far so good from Turkey btw.
Hello,
How can you switch channel? Or can you use siri to change channel? When i say siri change the channel it does not do anything :/

OK, so when I checked the LG site here in the States, it showed the 05.30.10 update available for my 43UK6200PUA. But no matter how many times I tried to grab the update OTA, I couldn’t.
So I downloaded the file, slapped it on a USB stick, and updated the SneakerNet way.
Everything is running fine except… HomeKit/Siri can’t turn the TV on. When the TV is off, it shows as “Not Responding” in Home.app.
I’ve got all the relevant functions turned on in Settings on the TV: Mobile TV on, Quick Start+ on… How the heck do I get the TV to respond to the power on command?

My phone is about six feet away. My HomePod mini is literally under the TV. And... I don't know if the TV has Bluetooth. I didn't see anything in a menu about it.
So apparently LG made it where it connects to HomeKit via Bluetooth instead of wifi, and it connects to you device rather than the HomeKit hub, both of which are stupid.
My LG 55sk9000pua just updated to 5.30.10. Still has airplay 2 support
updated from firmware I downloaded and installed from lg website (5.30.02) which installed airplay support
