How To Sideload IPTV Apps And APKs On A ChromeCast With Google TV
If you have ever sideloaded an app or apk before you will know exactly what this is for.
What Is Sideloading Apps?
For anyone unsure what sideloading is, it’s a process that allows you to install third-party Android apps to an Android-based device such as Google TV, Nvidia Sheild, and Amazon devices such as Firesticks and FireTV devices.
The benefit of sideloading is having the ability to add any app you want to your device so that you can’t download it from your device’s app store.
Sideloading is especially good on Amazon devices as they don’t have a Google Play Store and tie you down to their own apps and games so adding some of the latest Android games from an APK is worth it and can help you turn your firestick into a mini console.
let’s get back to sideloading apps on a Chromecast With Google.
- Make sure you have developer mode turned on to be able to sideload Android apps and apks on the Chromecast
- To turn on developer mode go to Profile icon → Paramètres → System → About → Tap Android TV OS Build until you see the pop-up “You are now a developer.”
- Now go back to the Chromecast home screen and choose the search
- Search for an app called Downloader (orange icon) and install it
- Allez maintenant sur Paramètres → Apps → Security and Restrictions → Unknown Sources. Now, tap the toggle button near the Téléchargeur app to enable it
- Go back and launch the Downloader app on your Chromecast
- enter any code or URL for any IPTV app or app/game of your choice you want to sideload onto your device
- Now once you have an IPTV app on your device open it and continue to set up the app to your IPTV provider institutions
