IOS 8.3 Patch Release

Apple do not make the Bad Elf GPS Pro. The Developers of it had plenty of access to run the Beta or Developers release of 8.3 If they have failed to provide an update then that falls squarely on their shoulders. Most App developers were ready to go with the update. Contact the Developers of that App and see when they will be releasing an update.

It's not Apples job to beta test for each app, it's the app developers responsibility to do so. The 8.3 beta was available to developers for 3 months before release. If they failed to update their app to work with 8.3, it's their problem.

The day after your know where freezes over.

Both of the other replies you got are not giving you push back. They are simply attempting to tell you the truth.

IT wasn't just the Bad Elf devices, it was a boatload of GPS devices from multiple manufacturers that now no longer function. Apple should have understood the possible effects of the change that was made that caused the problem and ensured that there was no impact. Apple is not absolved from causing this problem. I want to know when a fix will be made available and not get a load of pushback about who is at fault.

The issue will be resolved when the makers of the GPS devices in question update their apps/firmware.

You are really great at missing the fact that it is not Apple responsibility to fix the third party's device but they are the ones that should get off their butts and fix it.

Excuse me, Allan? Can I assume you didn't mean to reply to me?

Yes. ASC got cranking and I had to log back in again. When I got back I pasted my message into a reply and failed to notice that the I wanted to reply to was gone. Sorry.

No worries. It's been a long day and I thought, perhaps, I'd said something other than what I intended. For the record, I agree with your statement (except for the part about me not understanding it 😉).

As I said it was not meant for you.

Now I see the posts I had want to reply to below where we are posting.

Is there something going on here with reply coming and going away. Very strange.

And we'll give up trying to get you to understand the the hardware vendors had the beta software 3 months ago.

Best of luck.

No one needs to tell them. If they wish to keep profiting by making Apps for iOS OR Android, then they need to keep up with those systems. How come most other Apps were either updated BEFORE or shortly after? It is poor service from those handful of vendors that are too unprofessional or lazy to do so.

ps. If you wish to nominate amounts e.g..

it was a boatload of GPS devices from multiple manufacturers that now no longer function

or And, we are talking multiple vendors here

or I've read of pilots that have the same problem,

or these devices suddenly stopped functioning for a large number of users

Then please post links to substantiate your claims. As it is you are just guessing or speculating.

That's why they get access to the beta software: so they can test these things.
