Weekly Update - iOS7

This week in the RouteShoot village, the jury is still out on iOS7. The luddites, the “don’t fix what isn’t broke”, and the “I’ve just got to grips with iOS6” among us seem rather anti, while the “all progress is good” and the “come on - embrace the new” are pro. However I think we’re all thinking the icons and white backgrounds are a little retro.

One not-so-good thing about iOS7 is that it now handles map positioning on the screen a little differently, so something that wasn’t an iOS error before now is! This has led to a minor bug with playback in some (not all) existing RouteShoot files, but we are already on the case and have a fix for it. We are just looking now to wedge in a couple of feature upgrades that were already in the pipeline – just some minor of bits of debugging and additional testing to do – and we’ll issue an update. We would rather get it all in one release than throw ourselves into the Apple approvals process twice in quick succession for the sake a waiting a few days.

So if you have upgraded to iOS7 and have noticed a few of your old videos won’t play, don’t worry, we should get the upgrade out in the next fortnight. And everyone should be able to pick up the new RouteShoot features too, whether upgrading or sticking with iOS6 for the time being.

Have a good weekend everybody.
