IOS - Not allowed to use restricted network port

After iOS 26 beta 5, there have been cases where that error suddenly appears after logging in, and you can’t proceed any further. It’s still happening now…

There’s a lot of talk about various VPNs, old beta fixes, refresh buttons, and so on — but none of them actually solve the problem.

But Praise me. Guys

I figured it out. They told me to press the refresh button, but no matter how many times I tried, it just wouldn’t appear, so I struggled for two hours…

Then I clicked the back button in the top left to go back to the login page, and without logging in, I pressed the forward button again — and it connected.

Man, that was such a hassle. 100%.

This is the fix - thank you for sharing this. Another thing I did that may have helped and avoided the hours of refreshing (mine worked on the 3rd refresh) is to deactivate the mobile authenticator under your account settings prior to trying to reconnect the mobile app to your account.

Thanks again - I thought I was doomed! :rofl:
