AirPlay broken in IOS 18?

I am using a Denon PMA-900HNE with AirPlay 2 support. I have streamed music from my iPad and iPhone since I bought it. Now I have upgraded my iPad to IOS 18.01 and it is no longer possible to stream music from my iPad to my Denon unit.

I use Apple Music on both my devices. The iPhone (14 Pro) is running IOS 17.7 without any problems streaming using AirPlay 2, but my iPad with IOS 18.1 will not connect to my Denon and play.

All units are connected to the same WiFi network.

Have read about others on Reddit with same issues and they use other receivers.

Anyone with more details about this problem and maybe a workaround until the bug is corrected?

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

I had the same issue with airplay devices not showing up when trying to use airplay after update to IOS 18.x. Following conversation with Apple Support I was advised to reset network settings in the Settings> General > Transfer or REset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings. I then re-connected to the home wifi and airplay started to work as before.

This also resolved the issue with Apple Music not starting following the update.

I tried this and it still didn't work. Only way it is working is clicking on the mirroring phone icon. It stop working after IOS 18 update

An update to all. I updated my iPad to IOS 18.1 and it corrected the bug. Without doing anything else than updating from 18.01 to 18.1 the problem disappeared and now my iPad connects and plays over AirPlay just as before.
