1
Open LG Apps
On the LG remote, press Home, open Apps or LG Content Store, then search for Developer Mode.
If the app does not appear, the TV may be too old or may not support the Developer Mode app.
LG webOS setup
Set up LG Developer Mode
LG TVs need Developer Mode before a phone or computer can install MAC Player. Follow these steps on the TV first, then use the MAC Player Phone Installer.
LG account
Developer Mode app
Key Server ON
Before you start
- The LG TV must be connected to the internet.
- The Android phone installer and the LG TV must be on the same WiFi.
- You need an LG account for signing in to the Developer Mode app.
- Keep the Developer Mode screen open while copying the TV IP and passphrase.

Install Developer Mode
Select the official Developer Mode app and install it. When it finishes, open it from the LG launcher.
3
Sign in with LG account
Sign in inside the Developer Mode app using an LG account. If the sign-in fails, carefully check the password and use Show password if available.
4
Turn Dev Mode Status on
Switch Dev Mode Status to ON. The TV may ask to restart. Allow the restart, then open the Developer Mode app again.
After restart, reopen Developer Mode and confirm Dev Mode Status still shows ON.
5
Turn Key Server on
Inside Developer Mode, turn Key Server ON. This allows the phone installer to fetch the secure SSH key from the TV.
6
Copy TV IP and passphrase
Leave the Developer Mode app open and copy the TV IP address and passphrase exactly into the MAC Player Phone Installer.
The passphrase is case-sensitive. If the installer cannot connect, recheck WiFi, IP address, Key Server, and passphrase.
Then install MAC Player
Once Developer Mode and Key Server are on, use the LG install guide to send MAC Player from your Android phone to the TV.
