    Hi ex-Pushers,

    It seems the latest update to IOS 18.5 on iPhone has made the Push GUI inoperative, confirmed by SE TS.

    Have any remaining Push clients temporarily turn off IOS auto-update if you wish to delay their inevitable Push system losing functionality.

    :(

    Yep I encountered this yesterday. 8-TV Matrix Switch setup now basically useless. Not fun to have to tell the client sorry mate we can't do anything except install a whole new control system for you.

    Robbo, very similarly my client is a large 8 x TV HDMI matrix site install, a projector theatre plus full all of home fully integrated control system. It'll be a very expensive endeavour to replace it all.

    It is a definitely a problem for go forward, but in my client's case as an immediate interim fix I loaded a new image of Push from app store on his son's older iPhone which had an older IOS and then uploaded the GUI. It worked immediately just like before and his son is happy he'll be getting a new iPhone to replace his seconded one. Also set all the iPad's to not update IOS as they are all primarily control system GUIs in ejectable iDocks and still work as before.

    I discovered this issue earlier today when I went to use our system at home. Fortunately, we had one iPad in the house that had not updated so we have a single device that still works.

    Any ideas what caused the update to make the GUI inoperative? Damned annoying given there's no support available (presumably).

    Welcome to the world of App-Hell.

    The day developers dread, and the users hate.

    Of course, it's always the App vendors fault when Apple of Google break something. The App vendors then need to do new development and release updates (which of course can't be charged for).

    Re Apple in particular: my business used to do some iPhone development. In order to do this, you need to buy a Mac. Then when that's not supported, you need to buy another Mac. And another. I think we have bought 3 or 4 so far.

    The costs and kickings never stop.

    App development sucks.
