Is there a new problem with downloading IOS apps for testing? I have been developing apps for the past few months and have been downloading them to IOS devices without issue. I do this as my apps use maps and I dont always get the response I need when I use the Thunkable LIve preview. However I downloaded an unchanged app yesterday that used to work and now find the app crashes as soon as it starts to load. I see a white screen and then that shuts down. The apps do work using the thunkable live IOS app but not as stand alone, downloaded apps. I have tested this with all the apps I have built recently and none of them now run natively. I cannot test on an android device as I dont own one.
Has there been a change in the build process? Can you advise as I am sure I am not alone in finding this more than a little problematic.
As an example try downloading this small project onto an IOS device.

There are other reports of app crashes. See this:

I can confirm that downloaded iOS apps crash immediately. I don’t know about web apps. Quite frankly I’m not prepared to test it to find I have broken an app in production. As far as I can tell, apps tested in Thunkable live do still work. Thank heavens for small mercies!

Same here. Even an empty screen with only “Bottom Navigator” template used crashed when downloaded as iOS app for testing.

> Update 2: Downloaded iOS apps should work as usual now! Please report any issues in this thread. Hi Thunkers! As some of you have noticed, built iOS apps are crashing at the moment. We know what the issue is, we are working on a fix for this and it should be out later today. A member of the engineering team will update this post when the fix is live. For now, please use Live Testing with the Thunkable Live app and web testing in the browser to test your app. We recommend against downloading\*…
