Hi all!
I absolutely love RetroArch and have been using it for years to play all of my childhood favourites whenever time permits and the mood strikes.
I just got an Apple TV 4K from a friend who didn’t want it anymore, and thought it would be cool (and handy since I currently have to play on my laptop) to try installing RetroArch on it.
I have followed this guide to download the *.ipa and attempt to install it on the device, but AltServer refused to deploy it for some reason. Which led me to this guide for building the app yourself, and even though I’ve followed it to the letter, I’m stuck on the final step of deployment.
Xcode connects to my Apple TV and the app builds successfully, but when attempting to deploy it, Xcode spits out the following:
Failed to install the app on the device.

Any ideas what the issue could be? Those error messages seem pretty vague to me, and the more technical stuff goes way over my head as a non-Apple developer. I’ve been a Windows desktop and web developer for over a decade now but have never dabbled with anything Apple-related, so any guidance from an experienced tvOS developer (or anyone that knows anything about this stuff) would be very much appreciated!
