iOS update breaks Star-Telegram iPhone app



APTOPIX Apple Event

The Star-Telegram’s live news app for iOS has stopped working for those who update to iOS 7.0.3, the version released by Apple on Tuesday. The app crashes or locks up at the splash screen.
Our mobile developer, Verve, is fixing the bug and will submit a new build to Apple. We are unsure how quickly it will be approved.
If you have enabled automatic updates in iOS 7, our app will update once it’s approved. Otherwise, you will be notified that an update is available.
You may still access our mobile content on your iPhone via Star-Telegram.comin Safari. This does not affect any of our iPad apps.
Here’s what happened: In iOS 7.0.3, Apple pulled support for a font on which our app relied, and the bug was not discovered until the update went live.
Blackberry Instant Messenger for iPhone, or BBM, was among the apps affected.
