Apple iOS bug is re-issuing old app updates

Matthew Wilson May 25, 2020 Apple, Featured Tech News, General Tech

iPad and iPhone users have been experiencing some weird update bugs recently, with several of Apple's own apps reissuing old updates for seemingly no reason and some even failing to launch and delivering error messages. 

At this point in time, Apple has not commented but both Macrumors and The Verge report a number of cases of confirmed false app update notifications. In some cases, the updates in question were originally issued more then a week prior and had already been updated to the latest version.

It is currently speculated that this is related to a recent ‘this app is no longer shared' error, in which certain apps weren't able to launch unless reinstalled. It could also be related to an expired certificate or other digital credential.

KitGuru Says: I encountered the ‘app is no longer shared' bug but so far, I have not encountered some the reissued updates error. Hopefully Apple can get to the bottom of things and provide us with an update soon.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
