Question

Very slow response time with URLLoader on iOS 8

We've got some issues on our project regarding the time required to receive data with an URLLoader since iOS 8. Calling a simple web service returning a very tiny json answer jumps from a few milliseconds on iOS 5-7 to somewhere between 2 to 30 seconds on iOS 8. We tested with Wifi only, on iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, and iPad Air.

There may be an issue with AIR because we don't have any problem with Safari.

Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks for reporting the issue.

I have tried to reproduce this issue, but it is not reproducible at my end. It may depend on Network speed and File Size.

Could you please provide a sample app for this.

Actually it seems more prevalent with our web service on Google App Engine. I can't provide the url, but we can repro with this one: https://testfor367.appspot.com/ for example. It seems all https appspot.com subdomains are affected. We're currently looking for other urls with the same defect, and also trying to know if this has something to do with https or not...
