iOS 14.5.1 - Local http connection via AP mode fails

With iOS14.5.1, our apps/browser are not able to talk to our IOT gateway. Our gateway is deployed in the field and has HTTP server running (not HTTPs).
We would like to enable that gateway connect to iOS14.5.1 apps or browser.

We tried both:
NSAllowsArbitraryLoads - true
 
NSAllowsLocalNetworking - true
 
and with no luck.
For those reading along at home, Matt is helping ssaraogi via another channel.
