Why not? What happens instead? Do you get an error message? What does it say?
Sign in to the Apple TV app on smart TVs or third party streaming devices - Apple Support
What brand and model TV and platform (smart OS) is this for?
When I try to use Apple tv app on my iPhone and click the button, …
Which button?
… only airdrop iPhone comes up?
Did you mean AirPlay? If that comes up automatically, then you can click the iPhone option to not send the stream elsewhere. If iPhone is the only option, then other nearby AirPlay receiving devices may be incompatible, unpowered, have AirPlay functionality turned off, or not be on the same home network. iPhone on cellular but not on Wi-Fi wouldn’t be able to stream locally.
(AirDrop is a file sharing feature, which wouldn’t be available from the Apple TV app.)
The Apple TV app on a smart TV, and TVs that are AirPlay-enabled, those are two separate features, that may or may not be both present on modern smart TVs. TV manufacturers can have models with one or the other.
