One of the most popular platforms for running the XBMC media center is Apple’s operating system, iOS. The XBMC software is fully compatible with most iOS devices, including the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. You must have already Jailbroken your devices in order to follow this guide; if you haven’t already, please jailbreak your device first.
Requirements
- Jailbroken iOS Device (iPad, iPad 2, iPhone, or iPod Touch)

Congratulations! You’ve now learnt how to Install XBMC for iOS on your iPad, iPhone, or iPad Touch. It would probably be a good idea to add the Fusion Installer to your XBMC configuration now. We should also advise you not to use XBMC using 3G Data on your iPad or iPhone, but connect to a Wi-Fi connection instead, due to the limited data transfer restraints offered on 3G mobile internet.
