Hi,

Unfortunately there appears to be a bug in iOS 15 that makes it impossible to install certificates from the geteduroam App. This affects both the installation of a client-certificates (key part of the pseudo-account workflow and hosted IdP) as well as the installation of a specific root CA for mutual authentication. We have lost hope this will be resolved before the launch of iOS 15, due next week.

We've provided Apple with feedback opened a bug after the early beta tests in June and while we see similar reports and are aware of the relevant Apple-internal bugs, there is so far no resolution.

This puts geteduroam on iOS 15 in a bit of a sorry state. Profiles that are already installed in iOS 14 continue to work.

We will redirect users with iOS 15 within the App to the .mobileconfig download for the pseudo-account workflow, which works and gives a reasonable experience.

We modified geteduroam also to install the CAT profiles with public EAP-server certificates by pinning it "by name" and not explicitly a CA. This version is submitted to TestFlight and if we receive no better news from Apple we'll publish it to the store soon after. (This version will only work with self-signed CAs if that CA is already installed.)

We'll continue to work with Apple to find a resolution,

Regards,
Paul and Jørn
