The Times crashes with iOS 5

[jmaynard]

The Times iPad app crashes under iOS 5 - just the splash screen for half a second.
The Sunday Times works fine.
cheers

dun expect it's the OS problems or bugs.
it's just that The Times app is not compatible for iOS 5 yet.
tools are out for iOS5 but they still can't upload the code.

Sorry. It's beta. Things are supposed to not work. Hence testing....

I wouldn't say they are "supposed" to not work, but rather the chances of new methods and components in an updated OS, especially a beta, crashing upon launch is very possible.

Now if this was a completely new OS, like the jump from OS9 to OSX, in that case thing are "supposed" to not work by the nature of the OS differences.

There's a sticky thread now where you can list apps that don't work with iOS 5. Once iOS 5 is released, we can start a sticky thread for apps that have updated to work with iOS 5.
