There is a solution in another thread which works for many people and me.


In IOS 7, safari configuration was updated and it block cookies now by default. On IOS 6, it was not blocked by default.


Go in Settings -> Safari -> In the privacy & security section.

Change Block Cookies from "Always" to "From third parties and advertisers".


Then, make sure to close Safari and Netflix so that the new configuration take effect.


Then it should work if you had this specific issue.


Greatings goes to whoever found the solution in an another thread...

To clarify: I'd first uninstalled and re-insalled the Netflix app. When that didn't work -- login was still failing on application launch -- I looked for other remedies. I found the Safari cookie setting suggested remedy here. I followed that suggestion and Netflix was able to launch and login successfully.


FWIW -- Since updating cookie settings on Safari, the gMail app is also working correctly. I had not previouisly deleted and installed that app.
