Apple releases inaugural tvOS 11.4 beta to developers

Apple seeded the first beta of tvOS version 11.4 to developers for testing on Monday less than a week since releasing the final version of tvOS 11.3.

Designed for the fourth and fifth-generation Apple TV models, the new tvOS 11.4 developer beta can be downloaded onto the Apple TV through a profile that’s installed using Xcode.

It is not clear yet what new features this new version will include, but will address minor bug fixes not discovered since the release of tvOS 11.3. It is also possible tvOS 11.4 could possibly include the re-emergence of support for AirPlay 2, which was removed from version 11.3.
