Problems on older Apple devices: corrected!

Posted by universalis on 4 December 2023

The versions of Universalis which have been in the App Store since last week have not been working on the following old Apple devices:

  • iPad Air (1st edition)
  • iPad Mini 2
  • iPad Mini 3
  • iPhone 5S
  • iPhone 6
  • iPod Touch (6th edition).

The affected version of iOS is version 12 (the latest release was 12.5.7). You can check your operating system version by opening the Settings app, selecting ‘General’ and then ‘About’.

This bug was Apple’s fault but we have found a way to avoid it. We created a new update which we sent to Apple and within an hour they had accepted it into the App Store. We are grateful for their promptness.

Catholic Calendar has the same problem: please wait 24 hours, and the update to that should be available as well.

How to get the corrected version

If you sit and do nothing, the App Store will probably update you to the latest, corrected version, but it could take a day or two.

To get the corrected version at once:

  1. Open the App Store app.
  2. Search for “Universalis”.
  3. Tap on the heading of the entry for the Universalis app. A full-page description of the app will appear.
  4. At the top of the description is the version number. This should be 3.115.
  5. Press the button to download and install the new version.
