Apple Seeds Fifth Beta of tvOS 16 to Developers

Apple today seeded the fifth beta of an upcoming tvOS 16 update to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming a little over a week after Apple seeded the fourth beta (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/07/27/apple-seeds-tvos-16-beta-4-to-developers/) of tvOS 16 to developers.

Developers can download the new tvOS 16 beta by downloading a profile onto the Apple TV (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-tv/) using Xcode.



tvOS 16 enables cross-device connectivity, a feature that allows developers to integrate &zwnj;Apple TV&zwnj; apps with iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/), iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/), and Apple Watch apps to unlock new experiences on the TV. Apple has also improved how multiple user profiles work in tvOS 16 by adding a shared keychain, so users won't need to sign in and choose their profile when launching an &zwnj;Apple TV&zwnj; app.



Game controller support has been expanded to the Nintendo Joy-Cons and Pro Controller, and HDR10+ support is available in the tvOS 16 &zwnj;Apple TV&zwnj; app. With tvOS 16, the &zwnj;Apple TV&zwnj; will support Matter, an upcoming standard that will improve interoperability between smart home accessories from different companies.



Apple has also seeded a new beta of the HomePod 16 software. <div class="linkback">Related Roundup: Apple TV (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-tv/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: Apple TV (Neutral) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Apple_TV)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: Apple TV and Home Theater (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/apple-tv-and-home-theater.100)</div>
