Hello @peterparkero
In the Advanced menu you can find a Enable Trace logs option and the ShareLogs button. Could you send me the logs after an unsuccessful connection attempt?

Still an issue on every iOS device tested. iOS 17 and iOS 18

As above, log shows "no peer auth method provided" - and of course peer auth is a business-only feature.

The iOS app also doesn't work with setup keys - always says the key is invalid.

Kind of a bummer, as iOS is literally 100% of my use-case for Netbird.

Same problem here: Can't connect to the Netbird Cloud via iOS App - using iOS 17.7.

Trace Log:

I used the self hosted version before and had absolutely no problem to connect to my own Server with the iOS App.

I cant't belive that this issue doesn't get more attention as this is one of the official supported clients to connect to the Netbird Cloud.

I ran into a similar issue with self-hosted. It worked initially, then disconnected, added more server/desktop systems and was then unable to reconnect the iOS devices.

Wasted too much time on this and have since moved to Headscale and Tailscale - not looking back.

Tried again a few minutes ago and it seems to work now. Maybe the new 0.30.x Release?
Can someone else give it a try?

Tried on another IOS device and I found out that actually if you have a VPN profile (even one that has nothing to do with netbird), the Netbird app won't ask for permission to create a VPN profile and then it just doesn't try to connect and you don't have any errors, warning or anything.
Not really user friendly, but at least I know what to look for

This is happening to me and its mid August. No prompt to log in. I hit connect, allow VPN and then nothing happens.

Edit: Turns out my iOS 26 beta firmware was causing issues... Had to disable passcode and face id to allow new vpn configs.
