Fans/coaches/players all see the blocked shot very clearly. I see the contact after the blocked shot. I call foul on B1, awarding two FTs to A1.
When does A1's try end again?

In this case the try ends when it clearly will not be successful. That is with the block. However the act of shooting includes the airborne shooter. That player is considered in the act of shooting until one foot returns to the floor.
You should likely consider that the contact with the arm/torso should be substantial after the ball is blocked cleanly up top in order for you to have a foul. Many camp instructors where teaching 80% ball 20% player should be let go a few years ago. Something to think about.
