New Apple upgrade and MTH DCS

@MTH RD posted:

Hi all,

Glad to hear you guys received the update and things are working for you.  The bugs were related and weird.  It had to do with a process flow manager that Apple changed in some ways that obsoleted how we were handling it.  So, basically, our app was out of date in a way we didn't identify.

There are a couple of minor things I saw when testing and also a couple of reported bugs such as the ethernet dropping, etc.  We will be taking the approach of keeping the vast majority of you happy with the core features of the app working first and then, swing around and clean up any corner case issues.

As I've said, or tried to, we had our eye off the ball (ok, it was me) but, we're reengaged on DCS development and moving forward.  You will be seeing the results of our efforts in the coming months.  Next step is getting the Android version of the app fully updated to the current Android OS.  Then, both apps need to be expanded to include new features found only in the WTIU.

And, as I may have mentioned, the WTIU is released and in the production process.  Materials are being procured, tooling mods are being made, packaging is being designed, etc., etc.  The product will be out as soon as we can get it done but, we're talking 3-4 months or so.  Thereafter, we'll be cleaning up any bugs or whatever that are not uncommon to new products in parallel with beginning development of some new things.  We think an updated DCS Remote that connects to the system via Wi-Fi would be welcomed by the community.  Many of you prefer the dedicated remote over mobile devices.  A Wi-Fi remote would be a nice addition for everyone.

We'll be watching for any app bugs and will squash them quickly.  There is really no cost in doing releases so, rather than delay until we are certain everything is perfect, we would rather get what we believe is a great product out there and if we need to tweak some things, do that in stride.

Enjoy!!

Thank you for all of your efforts!

I would really welcome this! I also think you’ll find that by controlling the hardware, you’ll be able to control the version of the OS that is on it, which would allow for better compatibility.

I would be really great if it worked with the existing WIU too.

Thank you for all your hard work and commitment!!!!

I like the iPhone app... when it works.

Seems that every time there is an upgrade, then I have problems. Today I can connect to the MTH WIFI ( v3.2.1) with my iPhone 6 , iOS 12.5.7. My iPhone 11 (iOS 17.2.1) with app 3.2.3 build 3 will not connect to the MTH WIFI. I've tried to "RESTORE" without success.

Would deleting the app and reinstalling it be helpful? I see that there is an app reset feature that will delete all stored info. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it very much. If I should post this elsewhere, please let me know.

Thanks,

I think the problem has been resolved. Found an old post by Rafi which suggested going to Settings then Privacy then LOCAL NETWORKS then make sure the MTH WIFI is turned on( green). That seemed to work as well as my other cell phone and iPad. Put this down under operator error. I wonder if it really needs to be this complicated. I hope MTH comes up with a backwards compatible handheld.
