Critical Keynote widget bug on iBooks Author 2.2

Hello,

I think I found a bug on ibooks Author 2.2. If a Keynote widget is added to a .iba document created on IBA 2.2, it cannot be previewed in iBooks 3.2 for iOS 7 or iBooks 1.0.1 for OSX Mavericks. The widget only works when viewed on iOS 8 or OSX Yosemite.

Check the attached screenshot.

Has anybody experienced this bug? Any ideas or fixes?

I think this should be fixed ASAP because there are still thousands of users reading ibooks on iPads with iOS 7 or earlier installed.

iPad Air, iOS 7.1.2, OSX Mavericks 10.9.5

Confirmed. This isn't the only time we've had issues with the keynote widget. Because of this and a number of other issues and glitches with ibooks / ibooks author we've stopped recommending it to our clients as a platform for professional use. A pity as it showed great promise at first. The support is non existent (of course) and the software may or may not work depending on so many factors that it seems more like a hobby software project than something published by a professional outfit.

Hi Gonza,

Thanks for pointing this out.

This may prove critical especially from an educational point of view and teachers using iTunesU.

One to make a mental note of.

Regards,

Nigel
