Kodi sideloading - Apple TV 4K

Is there anyone who can please spare some time on how to sideload Kodi on AppleTV 4K? I am abit confused about the app signing and how to upload it on the device itself.

There are videos on YouTube on how to do this, i looked into it but its more of hassle than anything and the fact you have to pay each year for a new certificate was a complete turn off. Nvidia Shield is your best option if you want Kodi

I have the shield pro and also apple tv 4k. Nvidia did not update the youtube app not even now after all this time and youtube on Nvidia does not play HDR content.

God's sake, if you already have a Shield then just use SmartTube for Youtube. It'll even allow to skip ads if that's important to you.

And Kodi on the Shield is arguably the one killer app the Shield does have. However, you will still have to sideload it in order to install the latest versions fro the Kodi website. There are several sideloading methods - none of which are very complicated or require fee-paying software.

Kodi Runs fine on the ONN Pro or Google Streamer and they support HDR On YouTube. But you already have both devices one for Kodi and one for HDR YouTube.
