I had to connect to the wifi, turn those off, go to the united app, confirm the connection, then go back to settings and turn those off again for anything to work.

Anyone else run into this or am I just doing something wrong? Iphone 15 with IOS 18 running.
Update to this: finally figured out the problem and figured I'd post it here in case anyone else has the same issue.

Go to your app settings, then United, and make sure Local Network is enabled.

Once I did that, works every time.
