[Feature] Wireless Apple TV pairing/install support

[Lunascaped]

Report

Impactor is unable to prompt an Apple TV for trusting, so it's never able to obtain it's UDID and always stays as an IPv6 address in the menu. Which obviously doesn't work for sideloading and will fail when trying to sideload something. I have tried hitting trust device, it does not work.

• I will send an ipa of the app I'm having trouble installing if any
• I'm willing to provide crash logs or debugging information if needed

[CLARATION]

Not a bug as it's never been implemented on the library used for idevice communication: https://github.com/jkcoxson/idevice

There's a WIP branch for wireless pairing https://github.com/jkcoxson/idevice/tree/rppairing-try2 but it's not full, while it does pair to the ATV it cannot properly do communications such as installing an app.

Feel free to contribute :)

Alternatively, you can pair manually via Xcode/Sideloadly then use Impactor afterwards.

Apple TV WiFi pairing use to work on tvOS 26.3 but something changed and doesn’t work anymore on tvOS 26.4. It does pair with Xcode but Apple TV doesn’t show up on Sideloadly or impactor

Ah my bad! Didn't notice that. I did actually pair via xcode however it still didn't work. Then again it is a WIP feature haha. Thanks!

Keep this opened for those curious about ATV support, will be closed if ever properly implemented.

I'm reporting a possibly relevant issue with atvloadly (uses Impactor). Apple TV 26.3 can pair and sideload successfully over ethernet. However, ATV 26.4 only pairs and sideloads successfully over wifi.
