⚠️ Troubleshooting ⚠️
A small number of iOS users may experience issues with the app's ability to connect with PilotAware, even though the iPad is connected. This is due to a privacy setting introduced in iOS 14/iPadOS 14, that restricted applications' use of local network devices...i.e. PilotAware.
To resolve this setting in iOS 15 please see the following instructions.
iOS Settings -> Privacy - >Local Networks -> Enable PAW Firmware Update.
Once enabled, ensure the iPad Wi-Fi is connected to PilotAware and return to the app.
The app should now see the connected PilotAware.
