IOS 8.0.2 Issues
After the latest update which was rolled out late September,
I’ve had installs and testing time to see what effects this is having on the
MDM system.
In terms of features it doesn’t really offer much more than
the previous update, the installation of enrolling iPads onto the MDM is where
the major issue is.
I now have two schools which once the iPads are updated to
IOS 8.0.2 are having issues with pushing Apps. Once the iPads are enrolled onto
the MDM, pushing out Apps is an issue. Apps will appear on the main screen on
the iPad but will hang on waiting. I’ve kept an iPad waiting overnight, once
returned in the morning the Apps were still stuck on Waiting. Any iPad on IOS
version 8.0.1 and below will work fine when rolling out Apps.
There has been installs where the latest IOS update has
worked fine so the issue is under investigation at the moment. I have a feeling
that we may need to wait to next IOS release which is rumoured for release 20th
October.
NOTE: I would advise that any iPads that need updating are
put on hold until a working update is released.
