I just started Garmin Pilot 10.5.4. After a short delay, a popup appeared to confirm compatibility with iOS 14.8.
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.
Why does the Green Light program not include compatibility information for iFly GPS?
Good question, I’d like to know the answer also.
I updated my IPAD PRO to 16.2 and at least the trial version of Iflygps seems to function. But, I had the same reaction as to ponder why Iflygps was not on the list. IFly works with EIS and as far as I know Levil products. I am not a reliable source as I did not think to check all of IFly’s features specifically against the IOS.
Why does this website not update quickly? Foreflight says ios 15.4 is good to go.
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 just read about the RSR update. Are you going to be treating it like prior updates and test before greenlighting it as in all other prior updates. Referring to IPadOS. 16.4.1 a
