We experience the same issue.
Our analysis on this reveals at least 2 different issues :
SSL concerns of SDK backend subdomains related to IOS14 certificate transparency policy for :
"*.events.data.microsoft.com"
For SSL certificates transparency analysis we may see here that at least 3 certificates have only a single CT Log. Apple requires now at least 2 CT for a certificate valid for less than 15 months.
More details on Apple CT policy :
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205280
When the IOS SDK makes a request, if the SSL certificates returned have less than 2 CT logs, it will be considered "not valid" by IOS.
2nd issue identified :
Some machines / IPs on the backend randomly won't answer to requests. Example for the IP : 52.114.75.78 which is on the pool of ips behind "mobile.events.data.microsoft.com"
I'm looking forward for updates from Microsoft Team.
