Designed for the fourth and fifth-generation Apple TV models, the tvOS 14.7 developer beta can be downloaded onto the ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌Apple TV‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌ via a profile that's installed using Xcode.

Other than new releases, tvOS updates are often minor in scale, focusing on under-the-hood bug fixes and improvements rather than major outward-facing changes. There's no word yet on what's included in tvOS 14.7 update, but we'll update this article should anything new be found.

Though we don't often know what's new in tvOS during the beta testing process, we let MacRumors readers know when new updates are available so those who are developers can download it upon release.

Does it FINALLY fix the library tab not working on Apple’s own hardware?

Seems OK to Apple that it works on other companys’ hardware. So much for integration of hardware, software, and services.

I second this. I reported this issue the day the new AppleTV4K was released, and they have yet to fix it. Works fine on all my NON-2021 AppleTVs including other 4K ones. Fix this, Apple.
