iPad Air 2 on iOS 8.1.1 cannot connect to App Store

After upgrading iPad Air 2 to iOS 8.1.1 it cannot connect to iTunes store or App Store.

It can connect to the internet and email and apps can be managed by iTunes on PC.

It just won't work standalone.

Have tried hard boot and changing time but no change.

Any ideas?

I had this issue too, the suggestions were to set the time to automatically, to reboot the device, to reset the wifi router - nothing helped. What I did following the first reply here is go to 'settings' >> App Store and iTunes >> press on the Apple ID, choose logout and renter your password. NOW IT WORKS!!!!!
