iPad Optimization #7 : Master Fader and Auto Updating Apps in iOS7
iOS7 adds an interesting new feature allowing apps to be updated in the background. This feature
is great for consumer apps like games, etc. However, you use apps like Master Fader professionally
and auto-updating your apps can cause problems at the gig if the process is not properly understood.
Before you update that app, let's first understand how updates generally work.
1. You are notified of a Master Fader or My Fader update through the iOS App Store.
2. You download and install the update. Boom. The app is updated.
3. Now, your DL mixer needs a firmware update to work with the new app version. This is quite easy;
the app contains the firmware update. The next time you connect your device to the mixer, you will
be prompted to update the mixer. This process can take up to 15 minutes. We strongly recommend
you update the mixer immediately after an app update. You DON'T want to do this during soundcheck.
But now with iOS7, the operating system can update an app in the background automatically. If Master
Fader (or My Fader) is automatically updated without you knowing, you could find yourself at a show
needing to do an unexpected firmware update. Since this update can take up to 15 minutes, this may
cause serious problems delaying setup or the start of your show. Obviously this is not something you
want to happen.
To avoid this, we strongly recommend you disable automatic updates for Apps in iOS7.
Here's how:
Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store.
Simply turn App Updates off.
