iOS Update Green Light program: iOS and iPadOS 17.5

1 min read

Apple released iOS and iPadOS 17.5 for iPhone and iPad, which includes a new offline mode for users who subscribe to Apple News+ and it opens up the option for users in the EU to download apps outside of the Apple App Store.

Like with any software update, we recommend waiting until your app or accessory developer has time to test it out and verify there are no compatibility issues.

    Great article explaining the updates; however, unless I missed something … somewhere, I do not see a purpose in this article. Here is what I mean:
    It gives mention of a “program” geared to help ensure our aviation apps are at maximum performance. Yet, how can a person check their individual iPads if there isn’t a means in doing so?
    In other words, how is this “program” supposed to work if one cannot download anything?
    Thank you and stay healthy.

    Anyone else having an issue with ForeFlight crashing, whenever cellular data or WiFi is turned on? I just updated FF and the latest iOS last night and now FF keeps crashing. It’s unusable at this point for me.

    I don’t know your feelings, but while I look at iOS 16.1 my feelings are kind of ok’ish, but testing iPadOS 16.1 the pictures turns black – that one hit the wrong exit and drives towards Vista for iPads …
