Yes I have found not passing the AP22s through the switch resolves those issues with the periodic drops to the gateway, which ultimately breaks your internet connectivity. Have the AP22s never pass traffic through a 1930 and they work great.
My drops tend to happen after streaming for around 30 minutes also. The drop lasts for anywhere from 5-60 seconds then it's fine again. The internet and other connectivity is completely fine during these frequent and brief outages. In testing, I have found from a device exhibiting these drops, that they won't be able to ping the local gateway during this outage, but they can ping other local hosts ( I haven't tried pinging the AP they are associated with but it sounds like that will also fail during the event). Since they can't ping their own local gateway, all internet traffic drops. That condition lasts for that 5-60 seconds, then it's good for probably another 20-30 minutes before it happens again.
I've also noticed if you have all the gear rebooted, it will tend to last longer before it breaks. I've seen it go for 3-4 hours before acting up again.
For whatever reason, a Windows PC attached to the switch never has any issues and can ping for days without a drop. Apple devices tend to show it more, although most of my devices are now Apple so that could be skewing my results. Tomorrow I am pulling the 1930 completely out to see if the problems I have with the Apple TVs also resolve. I am pretty sure they are related. For instance, an Apple TV, wired to the switch, can stream from a local Plex server all day long without a single hiccup. But streaming over the internet (over 1G synchronous fiber that has proven to be very fast and reliable) from anything, Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon, YT, YT TV, any of those will also give me a pause and spinning circles for maybe 30 seconds every hour or so. So that fits with what I've been seeing from Macbooks where they still have local connectivity, but can't get to the gateway.
Time to take out the 1930 and verify my hypothesis.

Have you repeated the scenario with a different switch (non 1930) and if so did the problem disappear and then return when the 1930 reinstalled? Just asking cuz Aruba probably won't.
I just did a house with 9 AP22's and I really wanted to use a 1930 switch but because of this issue and Aruba's seemingly lack of attention I went with an Aruba 1820-48G POE+. Next job might be Ubiquiti or maybe I'll go back to Cisco. Actually maybe I'll try Zyxel their APs are cloud managed, controller or standalone, their routers and switches seem pretty decent too. Their APs look like they mount better to and no need for that poorly conceived flush mount adapter that really sucks.

Hi, yes this is the same issue reported in another thread here:
https://community.arubainstanton.com/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=ff9f9c66-8b84-4553-8e54-15a8b60a6687&CommunityKey=4736ee52-dc5c-4a73-b8cf-0a44640d7ff7&tab=digestviewer#bmff9f9c66-8b84-4553-8e54-15a8b60a6687
But it seems that has devolved w/ no feedback from Aruba, so here's a thread with a more accurate subject maybe it'll get some attention?
I'm getting the same symptoms as the other couple of users. I have an Nvidia Shield that will stream fine for X amount of time then lose connectivity for Y amount of time. The times do vary, but it's usually after a good 30 minutes of streaming 1080p or 4k content. As mentioned in the subject the AP22 is connected to an 8 port 1930 switch.
The AP is handling 18-20 clients, and it's only been noticeable streaming longer content.
