Unable to download BBC iPlayer on Firestick

[Trooper1954]

Hello all,
First post here. I have become extremely frustrated over the last few days as I have been unable to download and of the UK tv apps, My5, All4, BBCiPlayer and ITV hub.
When I click on any of these apps and try to download I get the error message next to the cart saying "Unavailable".
The fire stick was purchased in the UK and set up there. I have an Amazon.co.uk account to which the stick is registered. The firestick also has a vpn installed that I have set to the UK.....still unable to download these apps. I tried downloading the APK for BBC iPlayer....it downloads but will not allow viewing of selected shows...error "Opps....something went wrong!"
Can anyone talk me through solving this... it's driving me nuts.!!!
Any and all help appreciated.

You have to enable the installation from unknown sources.

Thats weird, did you try to "purchase" (i know they are free) the apps on your computer? Sometimes is the only way to enable the app to be downloaded on the firestick...

Worked for me a few times

Can someone please upload bbc iplayer apk for fire stick? In Google I am able to find only version from April 2022 2.0, but amazon store shows latest one is from 28 September 2022.

Nah thats for a smartphone, not for a fire stick. I was able to get the version for firestick by registering a fake Amazon account with UK address. It's 2.1 or 2.2 or something like that.
