Hi, which Xcode are you running tvOS 17 beta 1 with? It will work with Xcode 15 Beta, and not the previous released Xcodes.

  • Shouldn't it work without Xcode, just by visiting "Get Beta Updates"?

I was just trying to install the beta through software update without xcode

Yeah, same here. I've tried both methods - through Apple Config and direct software update with no luck utilising 4K Gen 2.

Well I guess beta 2 might fix this.

On my 4K Gen 1 Apple TV:

  • I installed the profile using Apple Configurator
  • I restarted the Apple TV
  • Go to the Settings - Software Updates and Turn off "Get beta updates"

By following this steps, I managed to install tvOS 17

  • Unfortunately didn't work for me :(

    I guess the next step is waiting for beta 2 or reset.

I have the same behavior when trying to install iOS 17 developer beta to my iPhone 14 Pro Max. No idea what's the issue.

GUYS I FOUND THE FIX !

first you want to update your tvOS to 16.6 from 16.5 so to do that

first click on beta updates -> tvOS 16 public beta -> let it update -> now ur tvOS is 16.6

Then what you wanna do is

beta update-> tvOS 17 public/dev beta -> let it install -> congrats you now have tvOS 17.

It worked for me. Simple yet complicated fix.

Let me know if it worked. Cheers !
