1.8.2 update – “connection error”

Update 26Jan11 0500h – Approved by Apple. Made ‘for sale’ on app store. Give it a couple of hrs to appear on the app store & then update.
Update: Midday 25Jan11Short version – 95% sure it will be fixed Morning 26th Jan. Doesn’t look like fix will be approved by Apple today, unfortunately.

Long version – I got an email from Apple at 0130h this morning. They have the emergency update but required some additional details since I pulled it from the App store. I emailed back at 0530h (lunch time in California) and they haven’t replied yet. Apparently they don’t work on Sundays either (bummer – it would have been fixed by now).
OPTIONS:
1) Use the http://www.airservices.gov.au/brief website for another day. Clunky & slow, but should do the trick still.
2) Perform a restore from backup from iTunes on your computer. Depending on the date of the last backup, you should have the latest working copy. Then do an update to the (good) version tomorrow morning (Wed 26th Jan – Aus Day).

Once again, apologies for this stuff around. I know how much people use this to make their life helpful & I’ve been hitting myself the last 48hrs over it! I’ve found out its closer to about 100 people affected. Thanks for the guys that notified me ASAP so I could pull it from the app store and prevent more people downloading the broken copy.

—————
Sorry to the 50-60 people that managed to download this update that stopped working. I’ve submitted an emergency bugfix to Apple that should be released very soon (usually its within 24hrs, which would be by end of Sunday 23Jan11, or possibly Mon 24Jan11 if they are slow).

Sorry for the stuff around – hopefully it will be all up and working again soon.

I have been really enjoying the NAIPS program but the past 2 times I have tried to submit a flightplan it refused because of 15 errors, all of which I had filled correctly but could not get it to send because of this.
I am using V1.8.2 which is the latest by my App program. Can you help?
kind regards

- Hi Dave – you are not filling in the route section of the flight plan. You need to put something in even if you are only going from Dep to Dest.

Hi

Thanks for the great program. I just wish it would work for me. I keep getting the connection error message. The only thing I can do is look for charts. I have tried diffent internet connections and none of them work. What do you suggest?

- G’day Sean – are you running the latest version of NAIPS? Mine is working fine & the app is identical on every device….it will give the connection error if you are using internet at one of those free public WiFi hotspots & you haven’t logged in too. Also I’ve heard of some people having problems running jailbroken devices (?)
