Distribute Apple TV Enterprise Apps

Like any other enterprise apps, Apple TV enterprise apps are developed and used within a company, and are not available in the App Store. Apple has initiated the Apple Developer Enterprise Program for large organizations to develop apps for in-house use. The deployment of these apps to individual devices is a hefty task. However, you can now deploy enterprise apps to tvOS devices in bulk using Hexnode.

Note:

This feature is available on Hexnode UEM’s Enterprise and higher pricing plans.

  1. On your Hexnode portal, go to Apps > +Add Apps > Enterprise Apps > to add a new enterprise app.
  2. From the pop-up window, select the radio button next to the Apple TV icon to define the app platform.
  3. You can either Upload With:
    1. IPA file: Click on Choose File and select a file from your system.

    3. From Manifest URL: Input a URL where the app resides.
  4. Select a category or input a new category by clicking on the + button.
  5. Input a description of the app.
  6. You can also check the Notify admin via email once app upload succeeds/fails to notify the admin via email about the app update status.
  7. Click on Add to upload the app.

  1. Navigate to the Manage tab.
