The Apple TV app doesn’t currently support in-app purchases on select devices, but does support that on other devices. The workaround is to do any subscribing, buying or renting on a different device (e.g. iPhone), and then watch that paid-for content on the first device, as linked through the same used Apple ID account.


Get the Apple TV app or Apple TV+ app on your smart TV or streaming device - Apple Support

2. On Amazon Fire TV, Android TV and Sony TV devices, you can't purchase content from the Apple TV app. You can buy, rent or subscribe on another supported device and then watch in the Apple TV app on your Amazon Fire TV, Android TV or Sony TV device.


When subscribed, your content is accessible through the in-app Channel (Apple TV+ or others).

When purchased or rented, those titles would show up in the Library tab of the Apple TV app.
