Update to Sonos app from Apple App Store then IOS17.4 dev beta now the app does not work? Is there a work around to allow Sonos app to work in new iOS beta?

Sonos, as with many other companies, don’t chase ‘beta’ versions of operating system software for compatibility issues, only final releases.

Forget any beta. Sonos has never chased compatibility with any beta builds, on any platform. 

Forget 17.X beta, trueplay does not work on an official 17.0.3 release which is kind of pathetic.

Latest iOS Beta appears to have fixed the problem. Think it’s Public Beta 6. 

Allow the app a minute or two to load; it is functioning for me. 

This didn’t work for me on either iPhone or iPad , but I found a work around , by running it in the background and I have explained this in my further reply 

Hi , I found a work around for me ,  on iPad iOS 17 , and iPhone best versions 

 

run the Sonos app , then go back to desktop , leave it running (sonos app) , then bring back the Sonos app from the desktop background ,  But do not click on the Sonos app icon from. Just bring up the Sonos app that is currently running.

 

ta da , done …. Worked for me many times … phew !  Thank goodness 

What are they going to do when the new iOS is released in a few weeks? Isn't beneficial for them to get feedback? 

I’m sure Sonos will have an iOS beta internally, and be testing how well the controller app works on it. However they don’t provide official support for users on iOS beta. Too many pieces remain in motion.

I have the same problem on public beta 3

Sonos doesn’t support iOS betas.

I never used true play with my Symfonisk speaker.

Care to elaborate as to why not?

I never used true play with my Symfonisk speaker.

Any luck getting TruePlay to work?

And would require a much larger staff of engineers to chase unannounced changes in each beta release…

Start the app.

Turn of the iphone and turn it on. The app is on.

 

This worked for me. Thanks 

For me also. Thanks Norman71! But I still think in my opinion that major companies should update their apps alongside Apple and Android betas. It gives a lot of early insights.

I found out it’s something to do with Location Services If you run the Sonos app then come out click into Apple settings Location services switch off Precise location in Sonos then check back to Sonos app it shows up 😊 leave the app open it with work fine or if you feel you do not want to run Sonos like this then return back to Sonos location services and click back on the precise location button

You are a genius!

Had to uninstall and reinstall the sonos app to get it working again and it seems slower than ever. 

Hoping this will be resolved before public release in September :O

This worked for me. Thanks 

In my experience all these fixes work because if yo background the app and bring it back it is there.  I suspect a screen refresh issue in the app

Thks for your answer 

It help me a lot

I mean by that...turn of the screen en turn on again.

With the power button.

Then the app works

 

This worked for me. Nice one!
