Are any of you having issues with Apple iOS devices on your wireless network?

I'be been troubleshooting some problems on and off for a while now, slowly closing the loop, but some issues still persists.  I'd like to know what problems others are having.

Apparently Apple iOS7 and 8 made several changes to wireless that now require you to make changes to your Cisco IOS wireless config and setup:

Apple needs to stop doing that stuff without running it past the network guys first.
Take a baseball bat and trash all the routers, shout out "IT'S A NETWORK PROBLEM NOW, SUCKERS!" and then peel out of the parking lot in your Ferrari.

I ran into some issues with the new iOS 8 upgrades and LEAP. So far they haven't been fixed as the guy that took care of the iPhones is no longer with us. We only allow phones, tablets, etc. on our Guest network which is where we see the most issues. Oddly sometimes they work with iOS 8 though.

I haven't had any issues with Apple iOS and Cisco gear but I have had a lot of issues with Apple iOS with Mikrotik wireless gear.
