Google has restricted the ability to sideload APK files on Android devices for several years.
Instead of allowing it for all users, they have implemented a safeguard to ensure that users are aware of the risks involved. This feature is called 'Enable Unknown Sources.' With the release of Chromecast with Google TV, Google added an extra step for installing unofficial apps.
If you want to sideload apps on your new Google TV, you will first have to enable developer mode in the settings.
1. Turn on Developer Mode on Chromecast with Google TV
You have to navigate to Settings > About > scroll down to the Android TV OS Build entry,
and then click on the line 7 times in a row.
You will see message boxes at the bottom of the screen, counting down the remaining clicks. The final message box will congratulate you and inform you that you now have developer access!
