When an iOS 26.0 device is prepared in supervised mode, wifi connection screen is showing when the device is restarted. This wifi connect appears always on restart.

I have tried using Apple Configurator GUI and Command line (cfgutil) command. In both cases, The behavior Wifi screen is showing up on restart for supervised mode.

Cfgutil command:

cfgutil -C {Certificate} -K {Key} prepare --supervised --name  {NAME} --host-cert {Certificate} --skip-all

Note: In non-supervised mode and other iOS, the wifi screen is not showing.

Apple Configurator version: 2.18 iOS version: 26.0 Device model: iPhone 11 and above.

Anyone else facing this issue? Any help is super appreciated.

This behavior still exists in iOS 26.0.1 and iPadOS 26.0.1 even after upgrading the Apple Configurator host to macOS Tahoe 26.0.1.

On every restart, "Software Update Complete" is displayed, along with:

Your iPad has been updated to iPadOS 26.0.1.
Your iPhone has been updated to iOS 26.0.1.

Followed by the Welcome screen with the "Get Started" button.

(Upgrading the Apple Configurator host to macOS Tahoe 26.0.1 did, however, fix the blank Profiles bug in Apple Configurator Version 2.18 10A23.)
