The iOS 8.0 simulator runtime has a bug whereby if your network configuration changes while the simulated device is booted, higher level APIs (eg: CFNetwork) in the simulated runtime will think that it has lost network connectivity. Currently, the advised workaround is to simply reboot the simulated device when your network configuration changes.

If you are impacted by this issue, please file additional duplicate radars at http://bugreport.apple.com to get it increased priority.

If you see this issue without having changed network configurations, then that is not a known bug, and you should definitely file a radar, indicating that the issue is not the known network-configuration-changed bug.
