How To Install Kodi On iOS 9 Jailbroken Devices

Those wishing to take advantage of the excellent Kodi can do so on their jailbroken iPhone and iPad running iOS 9 right now.

Originally known by all the cool kids as XBMC, Kodi is the big name in cross-platform media playback right now, and it’s very popular indeed.

We have already told you how to sideload Kodi on iOS without jailbreak, and while certainly an option for those not on the jailbreak merry-go-round, the steps required to get it working aren’t exactly few.

Just make sure you’re jailbroken on iOS 9.0-9.0.2 though. If you havent jailbroken yet, you can find the instructions on how to do so here:
