I see you have your anonymous outer identity to "@york.ac.uk" in CAT;
can you try to either remove the outer identity enforcement alltogether?
(Or making that "anonymous AT york.ac.uk", but removing the requirement is
more certain.)

We host our discovery data on a CDN; for the App to work, you'd
basically need to whitelist both cat.eduroam.org addresses as well as
discovery.eduroam.app - and that being rather dynamic, I'm not sure this
works well.
