Install XBMC on iPhone and iPad - how it works
You can also install Kodi (formerly Xbox Media Center, XBMC) on an iOS device such as the iPad. With the app, you can play more audio and video formats and stream media from a network. We explain what you have to do for it.
Jailbreak: Requirement for Kodi on iPhone or iPad
Unfortunately, you cannot install the app directly from the iTunes Store. To install Kodi, you need to jailbreak your device. How you jailbreak an iPhone 5, for example, is summarized in another practical tip for you. The software is supported from iPhone 4, all models work with iPads. You must have at least iOS 4.0 installed as the operating system. After you have finished with the linked instructions, proceed as follows:
- Open Cydia and choose "Mananage" -> "Sources" -> "Edit" -> "Add".
- Now a window pops up, in which you have to type the following link: "//mirrors.kodi.tv/apt/ios/" (without quotes). Then confirm with "Add Source".
- Now tap under "Manange" on the point "teamKodi" and then on "Kodi-iOS" (see screenshot). In the upper right corner you only have to click on "Install". Now the app should appear on your home screen.
