How to force an update of an app (Mapleread)
A new version of one of my favorite apps, Mapleread has arrived.
My iPhone and iPad mini has updated successfully, but my iPad pro will not upgrade to the new version. The new version is shown in the app store. Is there a way to force an update, apart from deleting and reinstalling ? By reinstalling I, as you know, will loose all settings and data. Edit: I upgraded to IOS 11.3 and then I could get the Mapleread upgrade. The iPhone and the Mini were not upgraded however. Last edited by svenlind; 03-30-2018 at 10:34 AM. |

Try going into the App Store, update page and dragging down to force a refresh.

It is a common App Store bug. It is supposedly resolved in iOS 11, but who knows.
Sometimes it is resolved deleting the app, other times you need to logout and login in the app store application, a phone restart should resolve the issue. But not always. Sometimes the only solution is wait a couple of hours or days. |
