When can we expect to see support for the Apple TV app on the Sony A90j TV running the Google TV app? I am having a hard time logging into my Apple account on this TV.
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14
Just suffered with the “verification error” for a half hour but found a way. None of the privacy settings or app update methods worked for us.
Maybe this can help someone.
On your iphone (this needs to be a device with same apple ID you want to sign into the tv app with), go to a video you’ve taken and use the corner swipe menu to screen mirror to the sony tv. The tv should show up in your list of devices. Let the video play for a bit then pause. Don’t stop screen mirroring but press the home button on the tv remote and navigate to the apple tv app. From the settings menu get to the sign on screen and choose sign in with device. Use the same device you screen mirrored to enter the code.
Once you have successfully signed on this way, you should be able to add other apple id accounts from the settings menu as well.
Hopefully this helps someone else!
Thank you for posting. After following the privacy policy suggestions, it still didn't work. I tried your workaround and Bingo! it worked. Really, for the price of the the A90J the app should work straightaway, but very glad you posted instructions that work!
I still have the same issue on a brand new X90J. Tried all the steps. Loosing my cool pretty badly.
All other streaming services installed in less than one minute each. Smooth sailing. This is the only one causing problems. Currently I have spent over two hours on this, and no solution has been found.
Having the same issue, tried changing the policy agreement, and still getting “Verification Failed”
Thank you, thank you bubs247cafe...What a crazy work around...This worked for us after we tried the first two options. What a major pain in the B... Thanks for posting friend.
Great work around thankyou! Tried earlier tips only this one worked you saved the day
It won’t even accept my mirroring code at the first step. Any other suggestions?
Great job finding that, it worked for me!!!
Genius, thank you!
This is super helpful, tried everything else and only this works! Thank you so much @bubs247cafe!
@roboedit

OMG, this actually worked. At least I don't feel like a bozo because this was the least intuitive solution ever.
This was amazing - thank you!!
Tried for hours trying to get Apple TV to work. I would’ve never thought of this. Thank you so much for sharing! It worked!!!
🎉 thank you for taking the time and writing this. 50 minutes later I started googling and found your answer. Manual would have helped 🤣 thank you again!

I read every response on this thread. I tried every other suggestion listed. Finally, tried this one. It worked!
Thank you for the solution!!
