Since its launch, the Apple TV has seen an avalanche of unofficial plug-ins for doing things such as reading RSS feeds or playing obscure video formats. To further nourish this growing pool of plug-ins, Alan Quatermain has released a Software Development Kit for BackRow, the Apple TV interface.

The free download includes a project template for Xcode and even a little Apple TV interface emulator to test your apps. The process of creating these hacks is not for the faint of heart, however, not to mention installing them on the Apple TV itself. But if you’re an enterprising developer and Apple TV user, take a look at the SDK and the BackRow tutorials Alan has created.
