It's part of the closing of the iPlayer loophole as agreed with the government a few years back

So to ensure that the BBC know who is using iPlayer, the app requires a sign in.
Sky currently doesn't, as they're using their own delivery system so already know who is accessing the content. If or when they get the full iPlayer app, you'll also need a BBC account for then too.
