Description

Attempting to sideload any IPA to my Apple TV results in the following error:

Your device could not be registered with your development team. This device's UDID is invalid

I have a paid Apple Developer account, and can deploy apps I build myself in Xcode to the same device using that account. The device is present in my developer device list with the correct identifier, and is visible and connected in Xcode's "Devices" window.

The same error occurs in 1.7.1 and 1.8b.

Note: removing and repairing the Apple TV does not fix the issue.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the sideload attempt to Apple TV and compare the device identifier shown in Xcode's Devices window with the Apple Developer device list. Check the behavior in AltStore 1.7.1 and 1.8b; done when a valid registered Apple TV can be sideloaded without the invalid UDID error.
