[SOLVED] No Adafruit IO with Feather M0 RFM69HCW and AirLift ESP32

I want to TX to Adafruit IO via WiFi with an Adafruit AirLift FeatherWing ESP32 WiFi Co-Processor that is wired to an Adafruit Feather M0 RFM69 Packet Radio that RXes radio packets from other packet radio nodes (not LoRa). In other words, a packet radio to WiFi bridge node. I know that the RFM69HCW must be temporarily disabled for those moments when using WiFi

digitalWrite(8, HIGH);
WiFi.somefunctiontodosomething();
digitalWrite(8, LOW);

and that works for basic WiFi usage examples.

However, all basic Adafruit IO examples like adafruitio_00_publish fail to connect at io.connect(); whereas basic WiFi usage examples like WiFiSSLClient.ino or more cumbersome MQTT connection examples do work.

Anyone has some ideas how I can get the basic Adafruit IO examples to work so I can finally go on to write the packet radio/WiFi ping-pong code?

Apparently, there was a problem in Adafruit's WiFiNINA fork, necessary for the AirLift products.
