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.
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 3rd party app store.
There are numerous tutorials on installing Kodi on iOS using a computer or with a jail-broken phone. Using the steps below requires neither and takes less than 5 minutes!
With Kodi installed on your iPhone or iPad you will be able to take it with you on the go!
Before installing Kodi on your iPhone or iPad, be sure that there is enough storage available to host this app and any subsequent add-ons. You can find available storage on iPhones and iPads using the steps below:
- From your device’s home screen Click Settings
- Click General
- Click About
- Your usable storage in GB is listed next to “Available”
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.
To learn how to install a VPN on an iPhone or iPad, click the link shown below:
In the tutorial below, I am using a 3rd Party App Installer known as TweakBox to download Kodi. Tweakox hosts numerous apps that are not available for download within the Apple App Store. Often times, these are paid applications that TweakBox has for free.
In the instance below, I am using an iPhone XS with iOS version 12.1.2. However, this guide will also work on other versions and devices including the iPad.
Use the following instructions to Install Kodi on your iPhone or iPad.

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. AppValley is similar to TweakBox but also hosts two versions of Kodi for your respective device.
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.
CAUTION - YOUR STREAMING ACTIVITY IS BEING LOGGED
TROYPOINT does not verify the legality or security of any applications or services covered on this Website.
You should always use a VPN in conjunction with free or low-cost streaming solutions to protect your identity and security.
Your Internet Service provider, government, app/addon developers, and hackers can log your online activity through your visible IP Address and location.
A VPN will encrypt your connection to the Internet and mask your IP address so you will remain 100% anonymous while online.
TROYPOINT recommends IPVanish VPN due to their blazing fast speeds and zero-log policy.
IPVanish is providing a 60% discount through the following link.

I have tried to download and the verification is different than yours and asks for the one you posted also I cannot get the zip file to open
Any suggestions?
Successfully installed Kodi 3 times on my iPad times now. Installed Exodus Redux each time and everything works perfect…..for 2 days…..then Apple nukes it by saying the “app is not verified”. Once installed and verified, if Apple rescinds the verification, the only option seems to be deleting Kodi and doing it all over. Any other ways? Exactly the same issue as Irene below…says I need internet when I try to verify and I have internet.
Hi Tim,
Try AppValley: https://troypoint.com/appvalley/
Or install the NoThx app within Tweakbox.
go into Settings, then General, then Device Management, then verify
NoThx is going to be your best bet….it blocks most of the certificate revokes by apple……OR…if you’re technically able….get yoursefl a raspberry pi-hole on your network…..that can block the apple revoke servers….
Kodi Installation step 21 on my iPad doesn’t give me the path to the recommended movie sites. Can anyone give me step by step on installing kodi properly? Thanks, mike
Hi
Everything worked great except when i went to install from zip…. i don’t get that option… when i click on the package i only get program add on but that doesn’t take me to anything.
Thanks
I’ve downloaded the Kodi app on multiple devices and it works great! So props to you guys for making such an amazing app accessible for us.
But I was wondering… if there was a secret to using chromecast to cast Kodi unto other devices such as a random tv that doesn’t have an Android box or fire stick?
Because most videos tend to have an option to chromecast it onto a tv, but I’ve noticed that the videos that play On Kodi don’t have that option.
Should I hope for a way?
Hi I downloaded and set up Kodi and everything was working great for a few days. Now it’s telling me I need an internet connection to verify when I clearly have internet in the phone.
Hi Irene, unplug both your streaming device and router from power for a few minutes and then plug back in. Something not right with your network and you need to reboot everything.
I have the same issue. The Kodi app worked yesterday and now under settings(profiles and device management” it is noted as “not verified”. I try to verify, and it’s telling me I need an internet connection…
When I click the download link on my iPad Pro, it asks me what app I want to open it in (open in…). What do I select please?
Hi there,
What options are provided? I haven’t encountered this.
Use safari, this happened to me on chrome.
Also happening to me on Chrome and Firefox. “Open With”. Chrome reply’s that it can’t handle it???
This did not work for me, I can only use Kodi on Android Devices…but I have several iPads that I would LOVE to use them on!
Hello,
Thanks so much for all of the information you share. You have helped me immensely. However, I am not able to get the tweak box on my IOS device. I would like to show you some screenshots of what is happening if you can provide me with an address. Thanks!
Jeff,
Try AppValley: https://troypoint.com/appvalley/
It also hosts Kodi.
Tutorial worked like a gem. Kodi worked fine on my iPad Air 2 for a few months, but then I got a pop up when I tried to open the app a few weeks ago saying the developer cannot be verified. I deleted the app and reinstalled and it worked fine for the last week. Tried to open today and got the same msg that the app developer cannot be verified. It’s a bit time consuming to keep deleting and reinstalling. Any work around for this issue? Anyone else having this problem? Really getting frustrating.
