How to fix "No Internet Connection" error on App Store after iOS 17.1.1 update

I am getting a message no internet connection while trying access App Store

my internet is down but I am using my data plan and other apps are working

i rebooted my phone but still not able to get to App Store

the message further says my phone is not connected to internet and directs me to the settings app to turn off airplane mode (which is not on) or turn on WiFi (which I cannot since internet is down)

When I’m on the App Store it says go to settings and put internet but the internet is on……so i don’t know what to do

The reboot does not work, I recently discover you need to access to “settings” and then “app store” and make sure that “cellular data” is enable, I discovered that myself none of the “tips” here were useful and Apple support didn’t help either, hope this help you. Cheers!

App Store says no WiFi but I am on wifi

I’m getting a message, no internet connection while trying to access App Store, after updating to IOS 17.4.1 and I have got internet on my phone, because other apps are working properly

Did you try to reset your Network settings in Settings>General>reset iPhone>reset>Reset Network Settings?

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I don’t even know how that got shut off but it worked

More and more often Apple product just don’t work well. I had this issue with Microsoft 20 years ago and switched. It’s about time to switch back.

This is true, so many annoying glitches lately. I rebooted and issue persisted. Why do I have to start resetting the whole thing, I have so many networks I use.

Reboot not working

Try going to Settings > [your name] > Media & Purchases > 'Sign Out', restart, and sign back in.

Yes, tired this and a full hard reboot. Same problem. No change

If you're getting a "No Internet Connection" error on the App Store after updating to iOS 17.1.1, but other apps are working fine, try these steps:

1. Check cellular data settings by going to Settings > App Store and ensure that cellular data is enabled if you're not on Wi-Fi.

2. Sign out and back in by going to Settings > [your name] > Media & Purchases, then tap sign out. Restart your phone and sign back in.

3. Reset network settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset Wi-Fi, cellular, and VPN settings.

4. Check your VPN or proxy settings, as these can sometimes interfere with the App Store connection. Make sure they're turned off in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.

These steps should help resolve the issue, as it seems to be a software-related issue introduced by the update.

Cellular data in settings. Toggle the option to allow the App Store app to be able to use cellular data. Worked for me. I guess the update turned it off.

When I drop my VPN, Apple News works fine. It's possible some of you have the same issue.

When I reconnect my VPN during a successful session, Apple news loses contact again.

One of my peeves is when my VPN gets met with "not connected" or "site not available" and the rejecting site or app provides no further insight. Even a list of possible reasons would be better than that. Whenever I encounter a problem like this, it takes some time before I iterate to the "gee, I wonder if they rejected my VPN" solution.
