Unknown Error: URLSessionTask failed with error: The internet connection appears to be offline

I got this error when setting up the iPhone Home Assistant Companion app.
Unknown Error: URLSessionTask failed with error: The internet connection appears to be offline.

The fix is to go to iPhone Settings > Home Assistant (find the app towards the bottom) > turn on the toggle that says ‘Allow access to local network’

That’s it.

same error here, but your solution did not work. i recently reinstalled aletsencrypt cert.

even uninstalling the companion app and reinstalling does not help…

Hey there, this worked for me

Been annoyed by this for weeks, and spent at least an hour trying to figure it out by googling around today. Found your explanation. 3 second fix. Thanks so much!
