Unable to connect when manually refreshing 2.0 beta

Hi all,
So I just re-setup my ios 2.0 beta, but for the first time I am using hass.io (previously I ran in an ubuntu instance). I am seeing some “new” behaviour from the ios 2.0 beta - I am not sure if this is due to the recent versioning issues (I know there are problems in the current beta) but now whenever I do a “manual” refresh in the app (by “pulling down”) I get “unable to connect to home assistant”. When I click “retry” it connects and seem to be working fine.

I am connecting via nabucasa “cloud”.

I never saw this behaviour before when running non-hassio. Also, the orange “config” icon is always present (before it wasnt).

Is anyone else seeing this? Does anyone have any pointers?

If anyone comes across this:

I enabled “connect via cloud” in settings of the app, and the problem seems to have gone away.
