How to sign into apple tv on roku

A year after users started reporting problems with signing in to the Apple TV app on various Roku devices, it still hasn’t been fixed. This is a terrible experience for users and is a disgrace to a company know for its customer service. Either fix the app or remove it.

I have a TCL model 55S403, Roku model 7105X.

The software version on the TV is 9.3.0 build 4194-30. The Apple TV app version is 5.0 build 81.

If I attempt to sign in on mobile, it immediately reports “Verification Failed”. Using the sign in on device, I can enter my Apple ID and password, it will show a spinner briefly then shows the “Verification Failed” message.

I know I’m not alone with this issue. And many solutions have been suggested but none have worked. There is a problem with your Roku app. You need to address it.

Op apple.com/nl/apple-tv-app/devices/ vind je een lijst met specifieke Roku-modellen die geschikt zijn voor de Apple TV-app.

  1. Ga naar het beginscherm van je Roku-apparaat en selecteer 'Search Channels'.

  2. Zoek op "Apple TV".

  3. Volg de instructies op het scherm om een kanaal toe te voegen en kies vervolgens de Apple TV-app

    .

    De Apple TV-app wordt toegevoegd en verschijnt in het gedeelte met kanalen in het beginscherm.

  4. Selecteer de Apple TV-app om de app te openen.

  5. Scrol in het scherm 'Kijk nu' omlaag naar Apple TV+, Apple TV-kanalen of uitgelichte films en tv-programma's en selecteer een onderdeel.

  6. Voer een of meer van de volgende stappen uit:

    • Het onderdeel afspelen of in een kanaal openen: Selecteer 'Speel af' of 'Open in'. Als je niet op het kanaal bent geabonneerd, volg je de instructies op het scherm.

    • Abonneren op Apple TV+: Selecteer de abonneerknop en volg de instructies op het scherm om je abonnement te bevestigen.

    • Abonneren op een Apple TV-kanaal: Selecteer de abonneerknop en volg de instructies op het scherm.

    • Een film kopen of huren: Selecteer 'Koop' of 'Huur', selecteer de gewenste optie en bevestig je keuze.

    • Een aflevering of seizoen van een tv-programma kopen: Selecteer 'Koop', selecteer de gewenste optie en bevestig je aankoop.

Question:

I've installed the Apple TV app for my Roku 3 and tried to sign using my Apple ID and through a mobile device (specifically my iPhone running iOS 13.1.3 that I installed last night. Neither method works. Directly using my Apple ID yields "Signing in..." But hangs there until I force-vlose the app. When I try the remote device option I immediately get:

Verification Failed

There were errors signing you in. Wait a moment, then try again.

I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled the app.

I know my Apple ID and password. I checked them on my iPhone. And help would be much appreciated. I'm really looking forward to seeing my iTunes movies and shows on my TV.

Thanks much,

Joel
