When iOS devices are to be used for demo purposes, they are restored with a special demo restore bundle that contains demo apps and restrictions. Unfortunately, flashing an Apple TV with demo content is not as easy. This is where Apple TV Demo Setup comes in.

When launched, the application will check for any Apple TVs paired to the host Mac (via Paired Devices.app). When found, it begins to transfer demo content located in /private/var/tmp/AppleTV/ to any paired Apple TVs. The process takes about an hour.

Payload

The most recent build at the time of writing installs the following applications onto the Apple TV:

If a demo app is paid, Setup will install a special "retaildemo" build of it instead, which typically only allows customers to experience select portions of the app.

Setup will also install a profile called Retail Demo Mode onto the Apple TV, which sets com.apple.appletv.demo.trigger to Channel in the defaults domain com.apple.demo-settings. The payload identifier is shepherd.demo.
