There is an issue sometimes with CORS ... I am thinking this is your issue as I have seen it as the most common can't get it to run problem...

Usually, one can tell by disabling it all together and if it works then most likely it is a CORS issue...

Personally, I use a chrome extension that I can turn on and off while developing...

If this does not help can you give more description on the error or copy and paste a small portion of it that might show insight...

If you are using an API that has not given access to your hosted app domain then you can use the packaged app solution. This is because the packaged app includes the web app components and it is served from the local filesystem, this will solve the CORS issues. Using a zip package for your web app will allow your app to work on Fire TV (for both testing in WAT & submitting to appstore).
