Roku mobile app version 9.4.0

What troubleshooting steps have you done so far to reproduce this issue - It is 100% reproducible.  I open the app, I get the Roku purple screen.  I see a moving circle for 15 seconds and then get the something went wrong / try again message.  Pressing Try Again does nothing.  I have tested with my VPN and my VPN off.  I have tested on wifi as well as a cellular connection.  I have deleted the Roku App and restored it.  Nothing helps.  I did a screen recording here if you would like to see.

Yes breaks every time. Open app, do what you want, lock phone, go back into app. Locks up.version 9.4.0 and a bunch of numbers , it says latest version

I can't do that since the app "breaks" every time / gets stuck on the something went wrong screen.  When I leave the app and come back, it's still stuck on the something went wrong screen.  There's nothing to click on and no other info on the screen. Screenshot 2023-06-24 at 6.59.19 PM.jpeg
