Thanks. My model number is not on this list. Never again will I buy a TV with the Roku built into it.
The Apple TV+ app is not available through the App store on this ROKU TV model. It is available on other models but not this specific one. Apparently here are the only ROKU Sharp TV's that you can get the Apple + on. There should be a work around. I have used ROKU for years but this will be the last.

jimmy691, the only workaround is to connect a separate Roku device to your Roku TV. If that TV doesn't have the horsepower to run Apple's (Roku didn't create the channel/app) bloated code then there's nothing anyone outside of Apple can do about it.
The resolution should be, Sharp & Roku both should have resolved this issue by now. Why haven't they offer customers a free Roku stick or issued an update is just bad customer relations. This is a good reason not to buy a tv that uses a primary streaming service platform like Roku, Google or Amazon. My suggestion is not to buying a tv with Roku, Google, or Amazon as the primary platform on the tv. Your next tv should say works with those streaming apps, So you don't get stuck with a Sharp Roku Tv that doesn't come with one of the top rated streaming services like Apple TV.
Make it right Roku, fit this issue by offering a free Roku stick to your customers. You know my address, I'll be waiting, but until then I will never recommend Roku to friends and family.
AMO2023 If you want apple TV you, should buy an Apple TV device. I do not know how many years Apple supports it's TV devices though. Perhaps, apple might send you a new device for free when your current Apple TV is no longer getting updates.
