A couple of weeks ago, are AP's had their firmware upgraded to MR 30.6. Since then our Iphone devices can no longer connect to the App Store while connected to our Public (open) wifi. Android devices have seen no change. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Well they can drop off wifi, and the app store can connect. Once they get back on wifi, they can connect, it doesn't stay connected though. It will drop again, the only thing that has changed is the firmware update.
We don't control the actual firewall, another organization does that. We can get to apple.com from all of our iOS devices, at least from the ones tested. Haven't checked Mac devices as we only have a few and they connect internally and haven't been tested. I can not honestly say that any rules have been changed on the firewall, but if the users drop off the Wifi they can connect to the App Store. If they turn the Wifi back on , they can connect to the App store. It's when they try to get to the App Store 20 minutes later that it doesn't connect. So I don't know for sure if the cellular data is holding on at that time that they disconnect and reconnect that it continues to work. If that makes sense.
Figured it out. (I think, it's working now regardless)
I added these into the allow list for content filtering. They are the only things in there, and I've never had to do it before, but that is the only change I made.
It might pay to check the content filtering category those are associated with.
Also mzstatic.com is used to host images on the App store so if you ever find that images are not loading it's likely this domain is blocked or isn't excluded from SSL inspection.
