Access Not Authorized After Placing Internet Order

I purchased an Xfinity home internet plan today, and my order was confirmed. I also received an email saying my equipment is ready for pickup and that I need to install the Xfinity app for activation.

However, when I sign in to the app, I get the error: "Access Not Authorized. You signed in successfully, but you must be an Xfinity user to enjoy this service." I can log in on my computer, but whenever I try to access my profile or account settings, I get an unexpected error.

Could you please check if my Xfinity ID is properly linked to my new account and help me resolve this issue?
