My question

Hello,

I was wondering if it’s possible to install YTLitePlus on Apple TV by simply injecting the tweak into the official YouTube IPA.

Has anyone tried this method, or are there any tvOS-specific limitations compared to iOS?

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I tried running the Github Workflow today, I obtained the Youtube decrypted .ipa from the iOSGods tool and used atvloadly to try installing, it proceeded until the following error:

This tweak is not built for the APTV app, you can look at https://github.com/Exaphis/mutube as an alternative.
