Updated my ipad mini to IOS9 and Apex sketcher stopped working. When I launch it, it pops up and disappears. Still appears resident, but when I try to bring it up again it pops up and disappears. Sent apex an email on it a couple of days ago but never heard from them. Anyone else have this problem?
 
FYI, here is the response from Apex.

Currently Apex Mobilesketch is not compatible with iOS9. We are looking into a fix but I do not have an ETA on the release.
 
My daughter updated her iPad Mini to IOS9 and it froze when trying to reboot.

Contacted Apple and they were able to fix it (took awhile because she hadn't backed up the device); apparently there is a known bug when updating to IOS9 via wi-fi connection.

Apple just release IOS9.1, so perhaps that's been fixed, but I'd update via wired connection just to be sure.
 
Smart computer people will say, 'don't upgrade until its release 9.12' so that most of the major bugs are understood and app writers have had time to update.
 
You MAY be able to downgrade your iOS back. I did the same thing, and after about 8 hours of work, I managed to get it back to iOS8.X
 
FWIW, we submitted an update for iOS 9 a few weeks ago. I don't know why it took so long for approval, but we finally got approval earlier this week. Unfortunately, even after we (and, I suppose, Apple) tested it before and during the submission and review process, I am told that iOS 9.1 came out and when we updated the app on our own iPads with iOS 9.1, there was a graphics glitch - things were scrunched up and not as usable as we'd like. I am also told that with iOS 9.1 devs were advised of graphics changes required, so at this point, I'm believing what I am told.

So, we are recoding the necessary items and than we will retest and resubmit the app ASAP. I'm hoping that the approval process doesn't take so long this time. One would think it wouldn't since there are no real substantial changes. It is not very likely that an human being there actually reviews/tests anything, so I'm hoping that the "rush" for resubmission is over and that this is an "automated" process, but what do I know? ;-)

All that said, be sure to note that the only thing new in the app (once it is approved & released again) is the compatibility with the now current release of iOS (i.e. 9.1) I have no intention of putting further effort in to this program and the description on the app store will reflect that. The main purpose of the new submission is to update EXISTING users, not gain new users of this app. IF we decide to release a different iOS product, we'd need to rework it and simplify it as it is not currently a Fee Appraiser product (it is for a different market.)

Thanks Randall! Good to know it's coming.

I'm not sure what I'm to read with the rest of your response? Mobilesketch isn't an appraiser product? Did I read that right? I'd gladly switch to another one of your products, as long as it runs on iOS. We've always preferred Apex over other sketching products.
