iOS cam viewer apps fail to connect after SecSpy v4 upgrade

Yesterday I upgraded SecuritySpy from v3 to v4. After the upgrade I am no longer to use my iPhone cam viewer app to connect. It just says connection failed. Any ideas why? This is over Internet. Connecting via a normal web browse works fine, so I know that the web server and port forwarding stuff are OK. But iOS cam viewer apps aren't able to connect. I've tried IP Cam Viewer Lite and SecuritySpy iOS app. I've tried making new connections from scratch.

    Found something that got it working. In SecuritySpy's web server settings there is a checkbox for "Require clients to use TLS 1.2 or later". If I disable then IP Cam Viewer work fine again. I guess TLS 1.2 setting is new in version 4?

    What's baffling is that the SecuritySpy iOS app now works fine regardless of what the TLS 1.2 setting is set to. It wasn't like that this afternoon when I first posted.

    The TLS 1.2 setting is new in SecuritySpy version 4 - using this option increases the security of your SecuritySpy HTTPS web server by preventing older, less secure, clients from connecting. Our iOS app shouldn't be affected by this, but I'm not sure which third-party apps will work with this setting.
