iOS 9.1 causing app store issues

Here’s an excellent article from Forbes about the need for Apple to slow down updates and allow users a longer window to downgrade to earlier iOS versions. http://www.forbes.com/forbes/welcome/

I've managed to get one of the Apple news sites to post about it: http://www.iphonehacks.com/2015/11/ios-9-1-app-store-issues.html

No, that's not a Apple site.

I filed an official radar and duplicated it here: https://openradar.appspot.com/23361498

Official? Wow, that's absolutely scary.

It just means I filed a bug report with Apple. Engineers sometimes follow up on these (or they are closed as duplicates, or ignored.) Openradar is a place where you can make the contents of your private bug reports public.

Hi all,

Is anyone else having or knows how to solve the issue I'm currently experiencing.

Whenever I try to download an app I enter my password as usual and then I'm asked to add 3 security questions to my account, which I do I'm then told that the app will download. I then get the same message saying I need to add 3 security questions to my account. This process keep happening over and over and the app never downloads.

I'm using my iPhone 5S and I'm on the dreaded iOS 9.1. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

You mean your phone was replaced in the store itself? I went to the service provider a while ago. I don't think they know what they're doing. I did not get a proper answer from them.

Apple Store replaced my phone and gave me a new one. I didn't bother with Verizon. They don't know anything

I live in Finland. I don't know what to do with my phone, who to contact! I've paid almost 700€ on this phone, and this is the second time Apple does something with their updates, that blocks using my iPhone like it's supposed to use. And worst thing is that Apple hasn't said ANYTHING! Not the first time, not now! This is stupid, and I'm starting to think giving up Apple products all together.

Just adding to the critical mass: Soon after upgrading my 6 plus to ios 9.1 Apple Music 'For You' and 'New' screens look normal but nothing will play. MY Music Library and Playlists are suddenly empty of content. Third party apps now freeze up as soon as they are opened. I can no longer open links in emails. I Have tried rebooting and resetting and signing out and in to cloud and itunes numerous times to no avail. Music content later appeared but nothing will play. Some 3d party apps now work somewhat, but cannot be updated.

I too am having the exact same issues as reported in this issue and the Apple Store sent me home with no solutions. This bug broke my phone so I hope Apple gets a solution to this ASAP.

You went to the Apple Store and you were told "Go home, we have no solution." Amazing.

So a little bit of progress has been made today. The Apple Senior Advisor that helped me a few days ago got info back from an Apple Engineer and he gave me an App Store test account that they can evaluate and see if this bug also happens to it. I can also download free apps and listen to Apple Music radio for the time being so that's a plus.
