how to use XBMC on iPad Air?
Thanks.
Is it jailbroken? No? Then you can't use XBMC on the iPad Air.
so sad...
And as far as I am aware there is no available Jailbreak for iOS 7.
There should be sometime soon, probably shortly after 7.1 gets released.

It's the price to pay for jumping to brand new hardware first.
to work around the problem, if I have xbmc installed on my computer, there's a way to forward the streaming from my computer to the iPad?

Otherwise there are plenty of ways to stream to the iPad from a computer/NAS without a 'library' view, many of the app store players support FTP / Samba / DLNA / UPnP etc.

Streaming from a PC, look at Plex or Mediabrowser. For other types of streaming look at apps like AVPlayer, nPlayer and It's Playing - There are quite a few like these so just need to look around :/
Well that day has come, there is a iOS 7 jailbreak just released this morning http://evasi0n.com/ and instructions http://modmyi.com/content/13169-how-jail...l#comments

Nice!
XBMC is running on iPad air at 1024x768 resolution. XBMC probably doesn't have the right settings for iPad Air.

Does anyone know how to fix it and allow it to run at 2048x1536?
yes i have to add support for it ...
retina support for iPad Air and iPad 2 Mini will be enabled as of the next nightly build.
For GUI only I presume Wink
Yes if you have read around you know that anything else will happen after gotham when we bump the ios SDK to version 6 or 7 Wink
I hope you keep using the old SDK for now as it fixed all my issues when I loaded a recent nightly. It's a shame with the recent iOS 7 jailbreak there was no support for ATV2/3 so many of us are stuck with very old versions of iOS that we can't do anything about.
