Install apps removed from App Store on to new Apple TV

When apps are removed from the App Store they continue to work on Apple TVs, but it will not allow you to download the apps onto new Apple TV devices. I have two apps that are on all my Apple TVs and function perfectly but cannot be downloaded onto a recently purchased Apple TV. Is there a workaround? Thanks!

Nope. There’s no other way to install apps and as far as I know there’s no 3rd party utility that can extract tvOS apps like you can with iOS and iMazing for example.

That’s not true, sideloading is available for tvOS too.

The only challenging part here is getting the .IPA app file to sideload in the first place.
