It is unclear at the moment why it happens as the app does not use any local networking features.

This pop up can be triggered by filtering network packets from the device using router firmware.

The app tries to establish connection to the server in a number of ways. We're checking the relevant code to determine the actual cause.

Thank you for a quick reply. Read on other sources that this pop-up is triggered in some apps because the device is using a VPN. Perhaps this is an iOS issue.

This popup got triggered when I received a call. Definitely shouldn't happen.
