  1. Check Internet Connection: Ensure that your Roku device has a stable internet connection. You may want to restart your router or modem to rule out any connectivity issues.

  2. Update the Apple TV App: Make sure that your Apple TV app on Roku is up to date. Go to the Roku home screen, navigate to the Apple TV app, press the asterisk (*) button on your remote, and choose "Check for updates."

  3. Restart Roku Device: Try restarting your Roku device by unplugging it for a few seconds and then plugging it back in. This can often resolve temporary glitches.

  4. Reinstall Apple TV App: Remove the Apple TV app from your Roku and reinstall it. To do this, highlight the app on the Roku home screen, press the asterisk (*) button, and select "Remove Channel." Then, go to the Roku Channel Store, search for the Apple TV app, and reinstall it.

After trying these steps, attempt to sign in or sign up again. If the issue persists, you may want to contact Apple TV or Roku support for further assistance.

I am also facing this issue when I play a video Game Car Simulator 2
