Apple TV not detected by Xcode or iTunes

Question

I am developing an Apple TV app using OSX 10.11.1, Xcode 7.1.1, and iTunes 12.2.2.25. My Apple TV is a 3rd generation model.

My Apple TV is not detected by my iMac. It's also not detected by iTunes.

Answer 1

You need an Apple TV 4th generation to develop apps. The 3rd generation Apple TV is not supported by the new tvOS platform.
