Warning : IPADOS and App v 80.20.34 my system is now in a setup loop

UPDATE..

i now see multiple reports of various apps losing their settings after installing apple iPadOS 17.7.7 

at present the volume of reports makes it look like iPadOS is the culprit.

Odd, my iPad is on 18.5. As I recall, I updated it on Monday. 

When presented with that screen, I’d suggest you choose ‘Join existing system’ , since you previously set up your system. Choosing anything else would attempt to create a new system. But not sure why you would be presented with that each time, which is why that call to Sonos Support I suggested is so important. 

It’s a confirmed issue with ipados17.7.7 affecting multiple apps where settings and configurations are lost / not being saved and it’s reported that apple have taken the rare step of withdrawing the OS so others users can’t update to it.

i won’t waste Sonos support time until apple says their issue is fixed with 17.7.7.1 or 17.7.8 or whatever they are going to call it.

Which version of the iPad do you have that requires such an ‘old’ version of iPadOS? 

It’s the 2019 version, it doesn’t accept iPadOS v18

Fascinating, thanks for the data.  I did note that Apple released a new version, 17.7.8 the other day, with supposed ‘fixes’, have you tried that? Not knowing exactly what was causing your issue, I can’t guarantee anything. 

17.7.8 appeared as an update for me this morning, I installed it and it has resolved the issue.

Interesting. Thanks for updating the thread.
