Apple TV Delivery Guide — Avails, Specs & Workflow

Apple TV delivery requires Transporter, an iTunes Connect content-provider account under the Apple Video Partner Program, and the .itmsp iTunes Package with Dolby Vision HDR, Dolby Atmos, and 4K UHD for premium releases. Here is the complete workflow — avails format, technical specs, QC requirements, and how Molten Cloud automates Apple TV delivery and TVOD/SVOD royalty tracking across 114 storefronts.

Apple TV, the subscription service rebranded from Apple TV+ in October 2025, and the broader Apple TV app represent the highest technical quality bar in the streaming industry. With a transactional (TVOD) tier selling purchases and rentals alongside the Apple TV subscription service, Apple distributes across 114 territories through a strict, partner-gated pipeline.
