Both changed files are behind the `ios` build tag — Android, desktop and the shared core are not affected. ### Problem `auth.Auth.IsLoginRequired()` is not a cheap probe: it calls `doMgmLogin()` and classifies the resulting error, so every "is login required?" check costs a **full `Login` RPC**. There is no lighter way to ask. As a result the iOS client issued ~7 `Login` requests before the first `Sync`, where Android issues ~3, and the extra ones were indistinguishable from real logins in the management logs. Three of those came from this package: 1. `Run()` called `LoginSync()` before starting the engine, which performs `IsLoginRequired` **and** `Login` — two RPCs. This duplicated the engine's own `loginToManagement` (`client/internal/connect.go`), which runs immediately before the first `Sync` and is the authoritative login. The `Login(ctx, "", "")` inside `LoginSync` could not even establish anything: with an empty setup key and empty JWT, a registration attempt fails by construction, so it was a pure check. 2. `Auth.login()` called `IsLoginRequired()` again before opening the browser, even when the caller had already determined that login is needed. This is not only wasted traffic: - **It pushes peers toward the server-side login ban.** In `management/internals/shared/grpc/loginfilter.go`, every login with unchanged metadata increments `sessionCounter`, and exceeding `reconnLimitForBan` (30) within `reconnThreshold` (5 min) bans the peer for `baseBlockDuration` (10 min), doubling on repeat. Redundant logins carry identical metadata, so they count against exactly this budget. At 7 logins per connect the budget is exhausted after ~4 reconnects instead of ~10 — reachable on flaky mobile networks. - **Each redundant check is a potential 2-minute stall.** `IsLoginRequired` retries with backoff up to `MaxElapsedTime` (2 min) and returns `true` on failure, so an unreachable server was reported as "login required" rather than as a timeout, and the `LoginSync` pre-flight could abort engine startup on that basis. ### Changes **`client/ios/NetBirdSDK/client.go`** — `Run()` no longer performs the `LoginSync()` pre-flight. The engine's `loginToManagement` remains the single authoritative login. **`client/ios/NetBirdSDK/login.go`** — new exported `LoginInteractive`, which skips the `IsLoginRequired()` pre-flight and goes straight to the browser / device-code flow, for callers that have already established login is required. `LoginWithDeviceName` keeps the check for callers where the auth state is unknown (tvOS). Both now delegate to a shared `startLogin()`. ### Why this is safe An expired or revoked session still fails the connection, one step later and through a single path: `loginToManagement` returns `PermissionDenied` → the deferred `MarkManagementDisconnected` records it on the shared status recorder → `ClientStop` fires the listener's disconnect callback, where `IsLoginRequiredCached()` reports login-required → the client tears the tunnel down. The error is also returned out of `Run()`. Where the server is unreachable, the engine now retries with backoff and recovers on its own instead of aborting the start.
