Install Kodi On iPhone or iPad

IMPORTANT NOTE: Kodi on iPhone is currently unavailable. Please check back for updates.

This tutorial will show you how to install Kodi on iPhone or iPad.  Kodi is a free media streaming application that is available on almost all operating systems. This home media hub acts as the primary source that lets users play and stream all kinds of stored media.

What makes Kodi a leading entertainment app is its easy navigational features, customizable interface and unlimited add-ons and builds that are completely free.

What is Kodi? Everything You Need To Know

The Kodi app for iPhone or iPad allows you to take this free media center app with you on the go! However, unlike Android based devices such as phones and streaming boxes that provide Kodi within the Google Play Store, Apple does not offer this application.

Because the Kodi App is not available anywhere on the App Store, we must install it through a third party app store.

There are numerous tutorials on installing Kodi on iOS using a computer or with a jailbroken phone. Using the steps below requires neither and takes less than 5 minutes!

TROYPOINT always recommends a VPN when installing or using Kodi. By installing a VPN on your Kodi device, you will encrypt your IP address making it impossible for your Internet Service Provider and others to view your activity.

Kodi for iPhone or iPad Installation

Since it’s impossible to find Kodi on the App Store, we need an installer for this process. TweakBox is a third-party app installer that is highly recommended because it hosts numerous apps that are not available for download within the Apple App Store. You can do this through its Flash Apps feature.

TweakBox is also packed with other features. It lets users download premium apps, apps still in beta mode, modified apps that are packed with additional features and cracked versions of popular games. Often times, these are paid applications that TweakBox makes available for free.

Do you need to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad to add TweakBox?

Not at all. TweakBox works on all types of iPhones, iPads, iPods as well as on Android devices. For Apple devices, the operating system (OS) must be at least iOS 7.

In the example below, I’m using an iPhone XS with iOS version 12.1.2. However, this guide will also work on other versions and devices including the iPad.

Currently, the only version available for installation from TweakBox is Kodi 17.6 Krypton.

What’s a Kodi Skin?

You can modify your Kodi interface by changing its skin. Since Kodi version 17 was released, the default skin installed are Estuary or Estouchy. The latter is designed especially for touchscreen devices, which comes in handy when using Kodi for iPhone or iPad.

While considered by many to be a clone of Estuary, Estouchy has a better look and feel in terms of interface. Its advantage over other skins include:

• Displays more information on a single screen
• More organized layout
• Easier access to add-ons
• Better resolution
• Easy customization

To check if your existing Kodi skin is set to Estouchy, follow the steps below.

Step 1
Launch Kodi.

Step 2
Tap the Settings icon .

Step 3
Tap Interface.

Step 4
Tap Skin > Skin. The Skin name will be displayed. In this example, the default skin is already Estouchy.

Step 5
In case it is not yet set to Estouchy, tap the existing name then tap Estouchy on the pop-up window.

If you want to switch to another skin, you can select from the other options. To do this, follow the steps below:

Step 6
Click Get more….

Step 7
Tap on your skin selection.

Step 8
The installation will begin. When prompted with the question, Keep skin? Would you like to keep this change? Tap Yes.

This will complete your installation.

Kodi on iOS Extras

With TweakBox installed on your iPhone or iPad, you will now have access to tons of apps not available within the Apple App Store. These incude emulators, games, and paid apps, all for free!

TweakBox is listed as one of the Best Tweaked Apps Stores and can be used to install various other streaming applications.

If you find the guide above did not work to install Kodi, I recommend using AppValley as an alternative. Aside from its advantages mentioned above, AppValley is similar to TweakBox but also hosts two versions of Kodi for your respective device.

How To Install AppValley

Important Note: If you find that Kodi does not work after a limited time, I suggest installing the NoThx App within TweakBox.

You can find this in the main screen of the Apps menu item. NoThx is a revoke protector that allows Kodi and other 3rd party apps to continue working as long as you are protected.

However, this will not work on all devices and is not a reliable form of revoke protection.
