Add instructions for tvOS (Apple TV) #347

Open ghost opened 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

As you can use the same configuration profile used for iOS onto tvOS (Apple TV), it would be great to show an option on both the Connect to public AdGuard DNS server and private server instructions.

tvOS

  1. Choose a DNS server according to your preferences and tap the button to copy the URL for a configuration profile
  2. Once you have copied the URL for the desired configuration profile, open the Settings app on your device
  3. Go to General → Privacy.
  4. Hover over Share Apple TV Analytics without pressing.
  5. Press Play on the remote.
  6. Select Add Profile.
  7. If you have an iOS device, use the Apple TV Keyboard notification to paste in the copied URL. Alternatively, manually enter this URL: https://api.adguard-dns.io/settings/placeholder/doh_mobileconfig.xml
  8. Install the profile following the onscreen instructions.

Curious, I don't have an Apple TV so can't confirm this, does it actually work?

The reason I ask is because the Apple Developer website doesn't state tvOS in the devices, unless this is a new addition of the new tvOS that hasn't been documented yet?

It has been supported as of tvOS 14, and NextDNS already provides setup instructions in https://apple.nextdns.io You're right, interesting it's not documented, but is supported and working with configuration profiles.

I also personally tested this and got it working with NextDNS and private AdGuard DNS successfully.
