When connecting my iPhone to my Roku Express 4K+ I have noticed some issues when establishing the connection. While I am able to eventually get it to work properly it requires some manipulation. When I first initiate Airplay from my iPhone it will attempt to launch the Airplay screen on the Roku, to which my pin has already been entered and saved. Airplay will then terminate on the Roku while my iPhone will continue trying to establish the connection. Stopping and starting Airplay again from my iPhone however many times will fail to operate. It isn’t until I fully restart the Roku and begin again that I can finally get Airplay to function properly.
The above takes place whether I am already on the Roku Home Screen or if I am using my iPhone and Airplay to wake the Roku and TV.
My Roku and iOS are up to date according to the relevant systems. I do not have this issue when using airplay on my TV, only the Roku.
