iPhone update causes users to lose a key feature

You recently updated your iPhone to the latest version of iOS, 17.4, and you might think everything is fine. But did you know that this update introduced a bug that may affect the proper functioning of some of your favorite applications?

You may be one of the many users who have already updated their iPhone to the latest version of iOS, 17.4. However, this update does not only bring improvements and bug fixes. In effect, it takes away an important feature, and it’s not just a problem for weather apps.

The publisher of the paragliding app Flyskyhy has reported a “fatal bug” in iOS 17.4. According to him, the iPhone barometer no longer works correctly after the update. This means that atmospheric pressure data is no longer accessible to applications, which can cause serious problems for some of them.

Important consequences for users of the Flyskyhy application

For the Flyskyhy paragliding app, this means that neither the altitude display nor the altimeter work correctly anymore. This is because these features rely on atmospheric pressure data to provide accurate information to users. This bug also affects the flight log in the application, which no longer provides meaningful values.

This loss of functionality may have significant consequences for Flyskyhy users, who use the app to track their altitude and progress during their paragliding flights. Without this information, it is difficult for them to navigate and make informed decisions during their flight.

So far, Apple has not yet commented on this incident. It is therefore not known when the problem will be corrected and if an update will be released to resolve the bug. In the forums, users are wondering why app developers haven’t encountered the problem before, as Apple encourages its developers to test their products with pre-release versions of new versions of iOS. It is also unclear whether any errors were reported to Apple in the current case.
