Hi Peter,
At the moment, the Firmware Updater is only available to run on the more recent (13 or 14) versions of iOS or iPadOS.
It was developed for PilotAware during lockdown as a ‘Project’ by a software developer and PilotAware User called Neil Hathaway, who is now working hard to develop a ‘universal’ version, suitable for use on any smartphone or tablet, but is of course ‘back at work’. Our grateful thanks are due to Neil for his commitment so far. Hopefully we will see the new ‘universal’ version soon.
In the meantime, the ‘best’ option is to speak nicely to your friendly local ‘Apple User’ (I have spent most of today updating PilotAware’s at my local airfield), but remember, that you can also update by USB stick, or by temporarily connecting an Ethernet cable from your PilotAware to your local router - as long as you are currently running software version 20190621.
Anything older than that requires a full manual software update (or you will be able to buy a new microSD card containing the software from
www.pilotaware.com shortly).
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
Peter R
