I am from India, I have published a non-certified roku channel for preview (testing purpose) vanity access code is "PRKZ6VP". When I try to add the channel to my user account, I get the error "The channel code provided is not associated with a valid channel". Please let me know where am i wrong.

Hi, I have the same problem as the user forum balbant, I have published a non-certified roku channel for preview (testing purpose) When I try to add the channel to my user account, I get the error "The channel code provided is not associated with a valid channel".  the images below show that the loading of the channel was normal, but the vanity code does not work, thank you in advance for the support you can give us.

Make sure you have chosen app to be avail in all regions (i think by default it's US only - that would be a problem if trying to add from account in another country). Also make sure after uploading you have pressed the "Publish" button, simply uploading does not make it available

Hi RokuNB, Thank you in advance for your quick response, during the process of loading the package for the new channel we have selected in this case Region Colombia, among others, and the channel is trying to add to the device from an account from Colombia (the device is also located in Colombia) with the following error message: "The channel code provided is not associated with a valid channel".
In the following two image you can see that the complete publication process has been completed (Submit For Publishing and and the answer where the channel is supposedly published), but impossible for now that the channel be added

waiting for your comments, thanks for your cooperation

Hi RokuNB, we have selected Region "Rest of World" only, because India is not available in options. "Submit for Publishing" successfully completed, after one week I have tried to add a number of time, all time get a same error. I have first time published and poor knowledge about of Roku store.  Please let me know what will have to do for add this channel in my device.

My problem has been solved.

The old account that I had of developer was created in the United States, but my channels were loaded from other countries and to see on devices outside the region of the United States, now when Roku added more regions this did not work anymore, today I had to create a new Roku account linked to another country that was not United States, in my personal case I chose Argentina, which is the country where I reside, finished creating the account I was able to add my channels again, previously selected the regions where I wanted my channels could be seen.

Finally I verified that the vanity code worked in the authorized regions of when the channel was created, everything was successful.

Try selecting all countries in that list for the app to be available. Since it's private/test app, that won't increase undesired exposure - but may avoid some mismatch between account/geolocation/etc. Save, re-upload and re-publish the app, try to add again.

@RokuNB, now your web portal doesn't provide any such error message in case app is not available in user's country, please fix it.
