I'm starting a project and I plug my apple tv 4 in to my mac. I just updated all software [xcode 7.2.1] and mac is latest El Capitan. Apple tv latest version. Where my device normally pops up I show no devices. I know my connecter works because if I proceed to Windows-devices it shows up under it's alias of "Living room". I plug in my iPad and several other devices and they show up in no time. I tried plugging it in while it was connected to a monitor to see if there was a "trust box" to be checked. Nothing. I've rebooted, and restarted Xcode and I'm out of ideas. Is there a manual way to enter the info so it will get the proper provisioning profile?

This can happen if the machine running Xcode and the AppleTV aren't connected to exactly the same WiFi network - this includes if the type differs such as having a WiFi network that operates on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz (with the same SSID network name) then the two devices need to be connected on the same frequency range - if necessary you may need to rename/switch off one type temporarily. It can also make a difference if you have them connected to different Access Points that use the same SSID.
Once they're paired it doesn't seem to matter which WiFi network they're on as long as it's on the same LAN/IP range.
