New Software Issue: Roku can't log into plex account set up with Apple

I can no longer log into my Plex account on my roku TV because my account is set up using “Sign in with Apple” and there’s no set email/password combination for this arrangement (email is a random string with a private relay email, but there’s no distinct password since you’re usually then prompted for an iCloud login when using the web app).

This is a new issue for me, since I used to be able to log into my Plex account on my Roku tv using the “tv link” code option. Now, when I try to log in on Roku I’m asked if I want to log in using my Roku credentials (which is a completely separate account from the plex account I set up), or whether I’d like to enter an email/password combination (which doesn’t work per my first paragraph). If I could still log into Plex on roku using TV device link, this issue would be solved, but it seems the latest version of the plex app for Roku no longer has this option.

Server Version#: 1.32.5.7349
Player Version#: 7.6.1.8501

My current workaround was to create another plex account that I can log into using an email/pw combo, and then share my library with that account… not ideal but gets the job done.

The plex app on roku honestly is quite annoying - I often have to log out/in to be able to access my plex server, which resets all my customizations.
