Hi gang.

Busy week with new work project so not able to be around as much as I like (and sorry to my friends for low gifting).I did want to take a quick moment to post about the iOS 13 update and Seekers Note.

I mentioned in a thread about other things but wanted to give the issue its own thread so hopefully iOS users will notice it.

So the 13 update came out Friday 9/21 and honestly, it is nice with the upgrades. My husband is in a focus group where he doesn't get the updates early - but agrees to update right away and then report issues. It's not related to apple or anything - just some geek organization.

Anyway, he updated Friday afternoon and said there were no issues so updated my phone Friday evening. Unfortunately, he's not a SN fan so didn't know I'd have an issue.

The game works absolutely fine. The issue is that the link to the app store does NOT work. So I had planned to purchase event passes and I usually buy the sencd chest when Emerald starts in a few days. Can't. And because the game has built in links to contact the store (to pull prices for the offers), it locks the app store. In other words, if I start my phone (from power off) I can go in to my account no problem. In and out of other apps and to my app store account all fine. But if I open Seekers Notes then I can't get to my app store account without restarting the phone.

While I was certain Mytona knew about the issue, I did email last night - and they do. Amy warned that it might be some time for a resolution. Saves me money! I don't know how it would impact the subscriptions as I don't have any.

While it is a little surprising that Mytona is so far behind, I wonder if the fact that they are a Russian company makes them have more hoops to jump through with Apple. Purely speculation.

I will say virtually every app had to be updated for this. Apple even allowed updates to be released both Saturday and Sunday last weekend.

I will post when it is resolved. At first I thought I might have to quit playing because of other auto renewals and such but powering off to clear the probelm after I play is not a real big deal. My husband said I was being overly dramatic when I bitched about him updating my phone and causing this whole mess. (lol)
