I've checked all connections and even replaced the hdmi cable but still same issue.😟

Is it just Airplay that you have problems with.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.

Hi thanks for your reply . I have tried what you said and still the same its not just during AirPlay it's even the atv's menu screen blinks on and off constantly as if it was a faulty cable or connection but both are ok .
Try it with another cable on another TV.
Yes, that is a reasonable next step.
