Apple TV integration failing to initialize

[bobbeims]

The problem

A day or two ago all of my Apple TV integration provided devices have started failing to initialize. As far as I know, no updates to either Home Assistant or any of my Apple media devices have been applied in the last two weeks.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

Here's a screen cap of what is displayed in the UI during the time span captured in the debug log. https://github.com/home-assistant/core/assets/2170636/445288c3-abc0-441c-9e2c-5e19db9b0172

One other bit of information. I've tried completely resetting the HomeKit home (shut down all Apple devices, including TVs, HomePods, iPhones, iPads, watches, laptops and desktops ... left them off for 5 minutes before bringing them all back online) and restarting the HA system.

Noticed the same issue with the Apple TV integration failing to initialize. I'm experiencing this problem on Home Assistant versions 2024.6.0 and 2024.6.1. However, after downgrading to version 2024.5.5, the integration is working again without any issues.

I am seeing the same issues with it getting stuck on initialising running version 2024.6.1. I removed the integration and restarted then installed. It worked for 2 days but now gone back to doing the same

I seem to be having a similar issue. However after removing my Apple TV, I'm also unable to add it back to Home Assistant. :|

Edit: Restarting home assistant seems to have resolved the pairing issue for me.

Same issue here, restarting home assistant fixed it for now...
