How to Install Kodi On iPhone or iPad – Guide
Kodi is a free, open-source, cross-platform app formerly known as Xbox Media Player or Xbox Media Center (XBMC) that can play and view videos, music, podcasts and other digital media from local or network storage and online. It has evolved into a universal streaming app that works on virtually any device and can play virtually any media file format. However, it is not available on the Apple App Store, so it is not authorized to be installed on any iOS device.
Kodi is a media player that can be used to consolidate different media contents. It can also stream media that you would not normally have access to, such as copyrighted programs that you would need a subscription to watch, region-restricted programs that do not play in your country, or restricted live TV shows. Kodi also offers a flexible user interface and library system for storing and viewing materials such as posters, cast information, plot descriptions, and more.

To install Kodi on your iPhone or iPad, you’ll first need the Kodi deb file. You can find it here. We recommend using version 15.2.1, but version 18.2 is now available - luckily, the method doesn’t change with different versions. You’ll also need iOS App Signer - click ‘Download v1.12’ and unzip the file. (You may see an ad below for a different download, but if you hover over the link, you’ll see it’s for something else.) ..
You need to install Xcode if you don’t already have it. Once you have the first one saved on your desktop and the others installed on your Mac, we can get started.
Open Xcode and create a new project. In the project’s main window, select the iPad or iPhone you want to connect to your Mac. On the left side of the main window, click on the “Link Binary File” button. In the resulting dialog, select the file you want to link to your Mac. Click on the “Link” button.
On the next screen, name your project and click Next. On the final screen, choose a location for your project and click Create. ..
In the next dialog, you need to identify the application you are building. Fill in the Product Name (we suggest Kodi) and the Organization Identifier (which should be something unique – I went with com.DavidPrice). The other fields must already be filled in, and you can leave the options as they are. You can choose to make the app specifically for iPad or iPhone at this point, but we can leave it as Universal. Click Next. ..
In the next box, choose a location for your Git repository. We just saved it to the desktop. Click Create.
Don’t let Xcode access your contacts. Or do it if you want. We said no, but we think it makes no difference.
This error message means that the app doesn’t have a code signing identity, which is necessary for verifying that the app is authentic and not counterfeit.
Fix Problem: I can’t login to my Apple ID. Add…: I can’t login to my Apple ID.
If you have trouble finding a development team to use for provisioning, select the ‘Development Team’ option and then click Choose. Xcode will say that it is solving the problems and after a little wait, everything should be fixed.
Open App Signer is a tool that allows you to sign your Kodi files with just a few clicks. Simply double-click the icon on your desktop and it will open up the Kodi deb file you downloaded earlier.
Save As: filename.txt, location.txt
Now you’ll see a list of your connected devices. Click on your iOS device in the left pane. At the bottom of the right panel containing the details of your iPhone or iPad – you may need to scroll down to see it – there is a small minus sign. Click here. (There’s a minus sign at the bottom of the left panel too, and that’s more easily visible. But you want the one on the right.) Now you can delete your old iOS device by selecting it and clicking on Delete from this list. ..
If you have an iPhone or iPad, disconnect your device and then open the Settings app. In the ‘General’ section, tap ‘Restrictions’. Tap ‘Add New Rule’ and enter the following: Name: Kodi Enabled: True Now connect your device and unlock it. You should now be able to install Kodi without any problems. ..
That’s it! Go back to Home screen and tap the icon to run the app. ..
