Steps to set-up Roku Developer Account:
⚠️ In order for the Apps Team to complete your app, your Roku developer account must be connected to a Roku Device
Roku requires the Account Owner to link a device to their developer account.
This can be a Roku Streaming Player or Roku TV™.
This must be done before we can develop, update, or publish your Roku app.
