You can purchase the new remote and it'll work with your older Apple TV, too.
Apple released a redesigned version of the Siri Remote with the latest Apple TV 4K, and the new remote is thicker and less symmetrical, so it's more comfortable to hold and easier to use in the dark. Doesnt work anymore, lets me play a song for like 10 seconds, but then stops and says need to connect device to wifi. Of course, you can still use the Siri Remote to control your Apple TV, which is probably the easiest option for most people. Alternatively, treat yourself to the new-and-improved remote Im not sure why Unity Remote is so difficult to get working. If you have the right software and are on the same network but don't have a connection to the Remote app, the problem may be easy to fix. On Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network > Wi-Fi and select the correct network.
ITUNES REMOTE NOT WORKING UPDATE
You just have to remember that you look for this remote control feature in a different place. iPhone is selected in the Project Settings -> Editor -> Device iTunes has been downloaded, logged into and open when attempting Update iPhone/PC, restarted iPhone, restarted Unity Nothing is working so far. On a Mac, select the Wi-Fi icon in the upper-right corner and do the same.
The release notes tell us that the update is 'faster and more responsive', but in normal. It works exactly the same as the TV Remote app, so there shouldn't be a learning curve. ITunes has been updated to 8.1, and the accompanying iPhone Remote application has gotten a bump to v1.2. Simply download the app to your iPhone or iPad, and connect directly to Apple Music, iTunes, or the Apple TV app on your Mac or PC. If you don't see it, you can turn it on by going into Settings, then Control Center and enabling it if you already turned it off. iTunes Remote is the best way to control Apple Music, iTunes, or the Apple TV app from anywhere in your home. Once in the Control Center, you'll see the icon for Apple TV Remote. Control Apple Music, iTunes, or the Apple TV. If you have an older iPhone with a Home Button (meaning no notch), you can access the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. You can access the Control Center by swiping down from the upper-right corner of your iPhone (this applies to any iPhone with a notch). The Remote feature has been integrated into the Control Center on all iPhones running iOS 12 or later.
