Hi Team, Looking for an answer, if it's just us or a widespread issue. Since Sept, our clients Apple devices can't load a Captive Portal on Apple devices. Client wants the CNA to pop up and I can't get it to happen! Android and Windows devices all work correctly with their respective popups, but CNA will not work. No changes done on our side and after multiple tshoots and getting vendors to take multiple PCAPs found, Apple devices are not initiating a HTTP GET request as per Meraki >> https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/MR_Splash_Page/Splash_Page_Traffic_Flow_and_Troubleshooting The work around is to force a HTTP GET request by manually going into the browser and initiate a http site (we tried 1.1.1.1, also tried other public HTTP sites and it works) and that redirects to our Captive Portal page.

We are currently experiencing an issue that occurs only on iPhone 17 models. In our app, after connecting to an external device, users can download multiple video files stored on the device. When downloading several videos consecutively, the device consistently stops receiving responses midway through the process. As a result, no response is returned, and the connection between the app and the device is eventually lost. This issue does not occur on any iPhone models prior to iPhone 17. It is reproducible across all iPhone 17 devices within our company. This is a critical issue, and we need urgent assistance. The main error logs show two patterns: • Connection loss • Timeout At the OS level, the only error codes we receive are: • -1005 (Network connection lost) • -1001 (Request timed out) Unfortunately, we are unable to obtain more detailed error information beyond these codes, which makes further debugging difficult. We have attached the relevant logs below. We would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to further investigate or resolve this issue. 310.0 / :: 81 % ::: 251.21481481481482 310.0 / :: 82 % ::: 254.23280423280423 310.0 / :: 83 % ::: 257.3820105820106 310.0 / :: 84 % ::: 260.4 KeepAlive SEND id=423F1336-6239-4B3B-9414-5A987D85D564 at=2026-02-24T12:56:43Z timeout=60.000000s current: D20-Q2-PLUS, ssid: D20-Q2-PLUS_136a63 KeepAlive SKIP (in-flight) tcp_output [C10.1.1:3] flags=[R.] seq=4017430266, ack=4146413113, win=2048 state=CLOSED rcv_nxt=4146413113, snd_una=4017429847 nw_read_request_report [C10] Receive failed with error "Operation timed out" nw_flow_add_write_request [C10 192.168.000.0:443 failed parent-flow (satisfied (Path is satisfied), interface: en0[802.11], ipv4, dns, uses wifi, LQM: good)] cannot accept write requests nw_write_request_report [C10] Send failed with error "Socket is not connected" Task <5BDBE621-329A-45E9-B236-9C173E92A41F>.<7> HTTP load failed, 361/0 bytes (error code: -1005 [4:-4]) Task <5BDBE621-329A-45E9-B236-9C173E92A41F>.<7> finished with error [-1005] Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1005 "The network connection was lost."

Most of the issues occur during this keepalive process, and this is when the logs mentioned earlier are generated. Based on our debugging so far, the keepalive function itself is being called as expected. However, the execution appears to stall while waiting for a response from the device. After remaining in that state for some time, the session eventually ends with either a timeout or a connection loss error. We are use almofire 4.0.1. According to the firmware developer, when this issue occurs, there are no corresponding values or logs received on the device side. Therefore, we are currently investigating whether this might be related to a networking issue on the iPhone side. All other features are functioning normally. The problem occurs only when downloading VOD video files, and the reproduction rate is 100% under that condition.

I am referencing: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/pausing-and-resuming-uploads Specifically: You can’t resume all uploads. The server must support the latest resumable upload protocol draft from the HTTP Working Group at the IETF. Also, uploads that use a background configuration handle resumption automatically, so manual resuming is only needed for non-background uploads. I have control over both the app and the server, and can't seem to get it to work automatically with a background url session. In other words, making multiple requests to get the offset then upload, easy but I am trying to leverage this background configuration resume OS magic. So anyone know what spec version does the server/client need to implement? The docs reference version 3, however the standard is now at like 11. Of course, I am trying out 3. Does anyone know how exactly this resume is implemented in iOS, and what exactly it takes care of? I assumed that I can just POST to a generic end point, say /files, then the OS receives a 104 Location, and saves that. If the upload is interrupted, when the OS resumes the upload, it has enough information to figure out how to resume from the exact offset, either by making a HEAD request to get the offset, or handle a 409. I am assuming it does this, as if it doesn't, the 'uploads that use a background configuration handle resumption automatically' is useless, if it just restarts from 0. Note, of course making individual POST/HEAD/PATCH requests manually works, but at that point I'm not really leveraging any OS auto-magic, and am just consuming an API that could really implement any spec. This won't work in the background, as the OS seems to disallow random HTTP requests when it wakes the app for URLSession background resumes. As of right now, I have it 'partially' working, insofar as the app does receive the 104 didReceiveInformationalResponse url delegate call, however it seems to then hang; it stops sending bytes, seemingly when the 104 is received. However, the request does not complete. In other words, it doesn't seem to receive a client timeout or otherwise indicate the request has finished. Right now, I am starting a single request, POSTing to a /files end point, i.e. I am not getting the location first, then PATCHing to that, as if I do that, the OS 'automatic' resuming fails with a 409, i.e. it doesn't seem to make a HEAD request and/or use the 409 offset correction then continue with the PATCH. Any idea what could be going on?

We are developing a watchOS application that records long audio sessions and uploads them to our backend in chunks (~5 MB each) using pre-signed URLs and URLSession background upload. Current behavior: While audio recording is active, uploads continue successfully even when the app is in the background. Once the recording stops, if multiple chunks (e.g., 10+) are still pending, the remaining uploads do not proceed in the background and appear to be suspended. We attempted to use WKExtendedRuntimeSession (mindfulness type) to allow sufficient time to enqueue background upload tasks, but the session is invalidated when the app goes to the background (e.g., wrist down or app inactive), which prevents reliable scheduling of uploads. Additionally, we added the entitlement: com.apple.developer.extended-runtime-session (mindfulness) in the Watch app entitlements file, but Xcode automatic signing fails with: “Provisioning profile does not include the com.apple.developer.extended-runtime-session entitlement.” It appears that the provisioning profile is not being updated to include this entitlement. Our questions: Is WKExtendedRuntimeSession (mindfulness) expected to support scheduling background URLSession uploads after the app goes to background? How should we reliably complete pending background uploads on watchOS after a long recording session ends? Is there any additional entitlement or recommended approach for this use case? Why is the extended runtime entitlement not being applied to the provisioning profile despite being added in the entitlements file? We are aiming to follow Apple-recommended practices for long-running tasks and background uploads on watchOS. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm encountering a null pointer dereference crash pointing to the internals of CFNetwork library code on iOS. I'm spawning URLSessionTasks at a decently fast rate (~1-5 per second), with the goal being to generate application layer network traffic. I can reliably encounter this crash pointing to NetConnection::dequeue right after a new task has been spawned and had the resume method called. I suspect that this is perhaps a race condition or some delegate/session object lifecycle bug. The crash appears to be more easily reproduced with a higher rate of spawning URLSessionTasks. I've included the JSON crash file, the lldb stack trace, and the source code of my URLSession(Task) usage. urlsession_stuff_stacktrace.txt urlsession_stuff_source.txt urlsession_crash_report.txt
