You have probably heard about Kodi, an open-source media center that is capable of streaming different types of content. The app is available for many types of devices, among them are the iOS devices.
If you want to install Kodi on your iPhone or iPad, then you’ll have to look past the App Store since Apple doesn’t allow the app to be part of it. Until now, the only way of installing Kodi on an iOS device included jailbreaking the device, but from now on you can install it on any iOS device.
