iPassword not compatible with iOS 14.5

Contact Apple Support. This is a user forum.

In this situation, Apple could help their customers by being a little more flexible and enabling them to downgrade to previous release to enable them to copy their passwords from the app and then upgrade back to IOS 14.5

Downgrading is not as easy as you think. The ability to do so would require being able to downgrade security, which is something apple will never do. Why would they willingly allow themselves to put their customers at risk like this. Compatibility is up to the developers.

Do you expect apple to publish a list of the millions of apps in their store and ones that won’t be compatible? How would they know ? They don’t make the app so they don’t know about compatibly. The 32 bit was a blanket alert for the programming language of the app itself. Your logic is still flawed. It’s up to the developers to keep their stuff up to date. It’s no one else’s responsibility.

Do not refer to Apple for this issue. iPassword has since stopped developing their Application. This is a third party app issue and needs to be taken up with their developer.

Before 'upgrading' iOS in a way that makes apps unable to work, there should be a list presented of apps that will no longer work. This was done when Apple forced 32 bit apps off. At that time my previous password manager was one of those and I installed iPassword and transferred all the data. This time no warning and 10 years of data is lost.

This is also not the only app I have lost in this 'upgrade'.

If apple don't allow downgrade, is there an option to run with this specific test disabled or a compatibility mode?

There is a test being made that says the app needs to be updated. Prior to installing the new iOS, run that same test on the installed apps on the phone.

The developers of that app are no longer around to update the app. In a reasonable operating system, I would expect backwards compatibility for many years.

Apple needs to do something . Or be able to downgrade the ios per phone and them upgrade. Is it possible to delete your phone and then download older version to your phone. Apple is way to smart for this. And I don’t expect indifference and a pass-off on what they are willing to do . We are a king what they are Able to do for loyal customers .

Clearly MANY people are affect by this problem. What an absolute DISGRACE to both Apple and the developer.
