iOS14 upgrade - S1 app not working

Up dated to IOS14 yesterday, SI app refused to work. 
After an hour of doing the turn it on and off again dance, with no joy… in installed the app and reinstalled it.

The app then asked permission to connect to Wif and Bluetooth- system is now up and running.

Same problem on iPhones but not iPads - found in settings under app the option to allow connection to local networks needed to be toggled on.

Ran into this issue this morning, although I have the S2 app on my iPad. I suddenly received a message my Sonos system could not be found on my network.

Turns out I had to go to Settings/Privacy/Local Network and select Sonos much as “Duncal” described above.

I just upgraded to iOS14.

Wish Sonos would have communicated this to its customer base.

I’ve got the same with my iPhone ios14 and S2. I have ticked the local network setting and still can’t find my Sonos devices. Might try on my iPad tomorrow.

Hi folks, thanks for reaching out. Just to let you know that users who updated to iOS 14 and are running the Sonos S1 app, will get the system not found if you deny the permission.

Workaround

Go to iOS settings->Privacy->Local Network-> Sonos S1 and turn on the permission

The ‘system can’t be found’ is a completely different issue. Try two things. First, unplug all your Sonos devices from power, then reboot your router. Once the router recovers, plug back in your Sonos. 

Second, try wiring one of your speakers to the router directly with an Ethernet cable. 

If neither works, open a new thread.

The Sonos S2 app is also impacted similarly- at least it was for me.

Just to clarify- the S1 app never asked for permission to access the local network until I reinstalled it.

Same here and also did the settings like mentioned. Unfortunately still not working
