Companion App connection problems? [iOS 18] [macOS 15]

Well,today it took like 5 minutes to start the app and I missed the first 2 minutes of Tour de Zwift. It seems to be taking a lot longer from invoking it to usability, and today it seemed to take a lot longer. I force quit it, restarted and it seemed to take less time, but I’m not sure what it was trying to do. I expected a notice that it needed approval to install something, but nope.

Are other users reporting such lags? It’s sure gotten worse over the past few updates.

Thanks. And Companion was right there, ready to go. I updated both…

And today, signed up for the short TdZ, and Companion would not connect. I deleted it, reinstalled it, rebooted, all while riding, and NOTHING!!

So I go to Privacy and flip the switch (off/on) on Local Networks, and BOOM Companion works FINE!! FOR THE WHOLE RIDE!!

It’s Apple’s problem, and I’ll lay money on it… Sound slike they need a 15.2.1, a plus one like their other OS’s.

I’ll have to try this next ride. iPhone companion app would not connect. It does seem random and dies t stay “fixed”.
