Caching Server not working since ios8

[uke]

Since ios8 and the latest server update were released the caching server no longer works in our school. Has anyone else has this problem?

Works fine for me, what do your logs say when you download an app?

 

(Server.app ->Logs-> Caching Service Log)

Nothing - logs show no activity when d/loading an app on an iPad 4 with iOS8 on.

 

The same iPad cached fine with iOS7. Strangely when I try and download an app from my iPhone 5 with iOS8 it shows caching activity.

 

This seems to be affecting iPads with iOS8 on them across multiple school sites.

Finally found a free iPad (3) on iOS 8.0.2 and it worked fine.

 

Assuming you're on the latest versions (Server 3.2.1 and OS X 10.9.5), anything look out of the ordinary in the settings https://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/3.0/#apd5E1AD52E-012B-4A41-8F21-8E9EDA56583A

 

Have you tried a Reset Network Settings on the iPad? Could of course just be a bug on the iPad 4 :s

Is this caching in general or caching of one particular thing? It's probably worth mentioning that iOS 8 itself doesn't get cached by OS X Server because reasons.

furby - Am running latest os x and server 3.2.1

 

Norphy - Any iPad that has been upgraded to iOS8 will not use the local caching server when dloading an app

 

We use a .pac file file so that iPads can resolve the local mac server, have always used them for profile manager/caching server. Reading this post it seems that someone else has had a similar problem with iOS8 and pac file https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6559999 (his fix did not work for me) .pac file works fine with iOS7 and caching but stops as soon as iOS8 is installed.

 

How do you you guys get your iPads to resolve your local caching servers?

[furby]

Perhaps unhelpfully then it just works for me. If it's working for other iOS devices it's hard to think of a reason that it doesn't for you, are there any differences in how they are treated by you firewall/proxy server?

 

On the caching server see what port it's running on, perhaps you're blocking it (or it wouldn't hurt to allow it)

 

$ sudo serveradmin fullstatus caching | grep "Port"

Got a similar problem just without the caching server and its only the iOS8 iPads
