iOS 9 Bluetooth issues

On September 16th, Apple will be releasing the next version of their iOS software, version 9.

This currently contains a bug with Bluetooth pairing which affects external accessories.

If you are using an iZettle card reader to process debit/credit cards through the RapidScan Box Office app, we strongly advise that you do not update to iOS 9 until a bug fix has been released by Apple, otherwise it could affect your ability to use your card reader.

Apple have confirmed this bug exists in iOS 9 and are currently working on a fix, which should be issued shortly.
