Can I test tvOS apps on the AppleTV?

Question

I'm aware the deadline for the developer kit for AppleTV has now passed some time ago.

What I'm confused by is, is it not possible to test tvOS apps on the actual AppleTV itself?

Is it possible to say hook up your mac with the tv device via HDMI and test it that way, like the way you do with other apps?

Many thanks

I have made a video showing how to test an app in Apple TV with TestFlight. https://youtu.be/Bsgdnl3dd4U .

1. Install TestFlight in your Apple TV first
2. Use "redeem code" to be able to see the apps in your TestFlight
3. Afterwards, you can see your beta versions on TestFlight.
