Apple Seeds tvOS 13.4.5 GM Update to Developers

Apple today seeded the golden master version of an upcoming tvOS 13.4.5 update to developers, two weeks after seeding the fourth beta and more than a month after releasing tvOS 13.4.

Designed for the fourth and fifth-generation Apple TV models, the tvOS 13.4.5 developer beta can be downloaded onto the ‌‌‌‌‌Apple TV‌‌‌‌‌ via a profile that's installed using Xcode.

tvOS updates are typically minor in scale, focusing on under-the-hood bug fixes and improvements rather than major outward-facing changes. There's no word yet on what's included in tvOS 13.4.5, and we saw no new features in the first four betas.

Though we don't often know what's new in tvOS during the beta testing process, we let MacRumors readers know when new updates are available so those who are developers can download it upon release.

Plrease, for the love of God, fix the bugs in the AppleTV. It’s unusable for Apple’s biggest customers.
What bugs are you talking about?

I'm personally waiting for Apple to bring out a live TV streaming service. I would guess if they're going to do it this would be the year since they're currently shifting towards a service-based business. I feel like the best option right now is YouTube TV but it still has some glaring issues. Anyone else think Apple is going to do streaming TV?
