WiFiServer accept() does not detect new connection

I have the Nano 33 IoT, and I'm using the WiFiNINA library. Here is a very simple program that simply tries to detect incoming TCP connections. When a connection is made, I want the program to say "Got new client."

#include <WiFiNINA.h>

char ssid[] = "";     // replace with your network SSID
char pass[] = ""; // replace with your network password

WiFiServer server(52345); // you can choose a different port if needed

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while(!Serial) {}

  if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_MODULE) {
    Serial.println("WiFi module not found!");
    while (true);
  }

  Serial.print("Connecting to WiFi");
  while (WiFi.begin(ssid, pass) != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("\nConnected.");
  Serial.print("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

  server.begin();
  Serial.println("TCP server started.");
}


WiFiClient client;

void loop() {
  if (!client) {
    client = server.accept();
    if (client) {
      Serial.println("Got new client");
    }
  }

  if (client && !client.connected()) {
    Serial.println("Client disconnected.");
    client.stop();
    client = WiFiClient();
  }

}

Unfortunately, when I make a connection, no valid WiFiClient is returned by the server.accept() call. Here is a python program I am using to make the connection.

import socket
import time

ip = '....' # ip address of the Nano 33 IoT
port = 52345 
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

def main():
    try:
        sock.connect((ip, port))
        print("Connected!")
        time.sleep(10)
    finally:
        print("Disconnecting!")
        sock.close()
        
main()

The python program reports that the connection and disconnection are made correctly. Furthermore, if I send a byte down the socket sock.sendall(b'.'), the Nano detects the connection, but not the disconnect.

It's working now after I updated the firmware, following these instructions https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/WiFiNINA-FirmwareUpdater

I submitted support for server accept to the firmware and library 3 years ago and both were released in January this year. so yes you have to update the firmware
