The company’s tech experts are working with a team of reputable iOS developers on a solution that is expected to roll out within the following weeks. Recent discoveries of security exploits brought the development project in beta-testing. There are still a couple of things that need to be tested more intensively and Mike Dabies, one of the developers, is now requesting the help of users.

There are currently over 10 developers helping with the Apple TV 3 jailbreak project but people can still join if they are interested. To get involved in the jailbreak project, users have to download the Apple TV 3 files and extract the keys from the keybag file. All the details are available on the AppleTV3Jailbreak website.
