Apple has started emailing developers today, with more information regarding the recently-discovered in-app purchasing exploit. Earlier this month, news broke of a hack that allowed users to acquire paid in-app content, for free.
The email contains a link to a new support page, posted on Apple's developer website, that provides devs with information on the issue, and offers up a temporary fix. It also states that a permanent patch is coming in iOS 6...
Early this morning, we all got a preview of what's in store for the next Twitter for iPhone update. In fact, we know pretty much everything about version 4.3, despite the fact that it hasn't been released yet.
The info came from a leaked change log, found in the 'History' section of the iOS 6 App Store. Apparently a glitch in the Store was allowing users to view release notes from upcoming app updates...
Over the last 48 hours, the App Store has been suffering from a glitch that has been causing some newly-updated apps to crash upon opening. The bug has been a nightmare for developers, who have been taking a lot of heat over the issue.
Yesterday, Apple acknowledged the problem, and confirmed that it had a dedicated team working to resolve it. And it didn't take long, last night the company started sending out official statements that the updating glitch has been repaired...
As we mentioned earlier today, the App Store was recently struck with a programming glitch, causing a number of Mac and iOS apps to crash upon update.
The issue has been causing a lot of problems for app developers, who have been receiving 1 star reviews and non-stop support requests over the last 24 hours.
This afternoon, Apple officially acknowledged the bug...
Twitter integration with iOS has led to huge sign-up numbers for the social network. Add those new users to the throngs of iPhone owners that were already big Twitter users, and it's safe to say that there are plenty of Twitter accounts plugged into iPhones.
We're also willing to bet that a fair chunk of those are using the official Twitter app, and it appears that some of those may be experiencing an odd bug, and one that is rather annoying – users are reporting that they are unable to see their own @replies in the Connect tab of the iOS Twitter app. We've seen this first hand, and it is indeed rather odd.
No amount of refreshing, rebooting or force-closing fixes it. Thankfully though, there is one fix that works, and it's really rather simple...
Although iOS is considered to be one of the safest mobile operating systems on the market, it's not perfect. This is something that those of us in the jailbreak community know all too well.
With that in mind, it's not terribly surprising that another security bug has recently been discovered in Apple's software. Reports are surfacing today that an exploit has been found inside mobile Safari...
Apple has been having a rough time with its iTunes Match service over the last few months. The product was more than a month late to market here in the US, and its international rollout didn't go much smoother.
Well it doesn't look like Apple's troubles are over quite yet. Cult of Mac is reporting that it has discovered a bug in the iTunes Match service that replaces songs with explicit lyrics with their cleaner counterparts...
A few months after Apple released iOS 5 to the public last year, a major bug was found in the software's new iMessage application. Several users reported that their iMessage accounts continued to remain active after wiping their devices.
Gizmodo added fuel to the fire yesterday when it published several images of strange iMessage conversations it was receiving on an iPhone after visiting an Apple Store for tech support. Apparently, when a Genius inserted his personal SIM card into the phone to test the device, the handset locked on to his iMessage account...
Apple launched its latest handset, the iPhone 4S, in October of last year. And while the company seems to have corrected the infamous antenna problem, the device has still had its fair share of issues.
From its poor battery life — which is more than likely iOS 5 related — to its Sprint data speed troubles, users have had multiple complaints regarding the handset. And now it looks like we can add another problem to the list...
Canadian tech consultant Ade Barkah has uncovered a security bug in iOS 5 that allows for someone to bypass an iPhone's lock screen and view the device's photo albums, even without knowing the passcode.
In iOS 5, there is a convenient button on the lock screen, which appears by double-tapping the home button, that allows for you to launch the camera application. Normally, Apple has a restriction that prohibits you from viewing any images on your iPhone's camera roll while the device is locked, however, during his travels from Canada to Argentina, Barkah discovered that Apple’s restriction is merely based on the iPhone's system time...
Apple's iMessage may be a fine SMS/MMS tool, but as we recently reported, it isn't without its problems.
If you are unlucky enough to find your iPhone stolen or lost, then under some circumstances it is possible that the iPhone can continue receiving iMessages. Even moving your phone number to another handset, changing your Apple ID password, and remote wiping the handset may not stop the problem.
There are two possible fixes, and they are as simple as turning on your iPhone's SIM card PIN and calling your phone carrier...
Users of older versions of iOS may be left out in the app-less wilderness according to reports, with the App Store seemingly not impressed with users who have not updated their iPhones or iPod touches past iOS 3.1.3.
Apple has always been a strong proponent of users installing the latest version of an operating system, whether that be the latest and greatest release of OS X on a Mac, or the newest version of iOS available. It's a great way of squashing potential bugs and security holes while making sure developers have less OS fragmentation to deal with.
Some people don't want to update, though. Whether it be through a need to have a specific jailbreak work, or their iOS device simply doesn't have the chops to run the latest iOS release, some just do not want to upgrade. Reports have surfaced that devices running iOS 3.1.3 or earlier are unable to download apps from Apple's App Store...
