We are having issues establishing a TCP/IP connection using GCDAsyncSocket [xcode 12.5 and iOS 14.5/14.6] on one of our devices. The error we receive is - Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=60 "Operation timed out" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription= Operation timed out, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Error in connect() function}

Environment - Monterey 12.0.1, Xcode 13.1, iOS 15.1 We have been using the Network Framework successfully until now, where on iOS 15.1 the network connection goes to the 'preparing' state and takes more than a minute to move to the 'ready' state. Our app is supporting minimum iOS 14.1 and this issue only occurs on some of our devices [iPhone X]. Is there anything that we need to change/update in order to resolve this issue.

I want to get a list of available Wi-Fi networks in my IOS app and establish a connection with the user selected network without having to leave the app. How can i do this?
