I am working on a Apple iOS app, which uses the backend server running at Amazon EC2. Amazon EC2 VPC doesn't support IPv6 address by native. I couldn't make use of Amazon ELB support provided for EC2 classic platform, since my account uses VPC only
Apple Announcement
At WWDC 2015 we announced the transition to IPv6-only network services in iOS 9. Starting June 1, 2016 all apps submitted to the App Store must support IPv6-only networking.

Best Answer
The problem is simple. You have a typo in your DNS record.
Your IPv6 address is
2001:470:35:b37::2, but your AAAA record has2001:470:36:b37::2.You may resolve the problem by correcting the AAAA record.
