Many Users Reporting Touch ID Not Working in App Store on iOS 8.3

[youngjm]

Very strange because Touch ID was working really nice under the Public Beta's.

mine doesn't even ask me for a password

I'm experiencing this issue

 

[SkippyThorson]

Indeed, it's all about perception and expectation. Forget the 100's of bug fixes in 8.3, this fail will taint things.

Positivity; a complex achievement / Negativity; a simple label. What a world.

I just wish that updating to 8.3 would have fixed my issue with keyboards. Seems like they just can't get it right to make it so the proper keyboard is displayed

Just how are people going to order their new watch without Touchid

Not an issue with Apple Pay.

 

[Saucesome2000]

I had an issue using Apple Pay this morning at Panera.

Yup same here. It keeps asking for the password and doesn't include the ability to use TouchID. However, thankfully it seems it's only affecting the App Store as I can still use TouchID with DropBox.

iOS 8.3
…
• Touch ID has been replaced by Touch SUPER-EGO and so may not always do exactly what you want anymore due to societal conventions. You don't really need that app, even if you want it.

This feature was mostly useless for me from the beginning. If you ever restart your phone, you have to enter your password to download an app. At least half the time this happens to me because I don't download apps often enough.

Steve Jobs would have let this happen.

Can confirm. I was wondering what happened...

Confirmed as well.

Why am I not surprised that there are even more bugs.

Apple need to invest in software quality control. Ive had more bugs and issues with software in the last year than the 5 before it combined.

Yeah, WTF is going on with Apple? Their hardware is sound but he software is horrifically bad. I am regretting ever getting involved with iOS. It just keeps getting worse as they forge ahead without fixing the past problems. I am writing this as my 6 Plus is stuck in landscape mode.

 

[neuropsychguy]

Do we think this is "big enough" an issue for Apple to release 8.3.1 in the next day or so?

Yes.

 

[ghostface147]

Steve Jobs would have let this happen.

No, but he let MobileMe and iOS 2.0 ship out the door, which were both massively terrible at release. iOS 2.0 wasn't usable until 2.1. It was just dog slow. MobileMe.....well it was just garbage and never really got off the ground.

 

[neuropsychguy]

Does not work for me.

Misleading, intentionally click-bait-loaded title. Surprise surprise...

How are facts misleading?

 

[mkeeley]

They really need to sort out their software QA, it's really poor.

 

[nbnbxdnb]

I am so glad I saw this post before updating to 8.3. It works fine on my iPad mini which doesn't have a fingerprint sensor.

Misleading, intentionally click-bait-loaded title. Surprise surprise...

But many users are reporting this. What's the issue?

 

[uid15]

But many users are reporting this. What's the issue?

My error, I mis-read the title, and will retract

 

[Clarky!]

Not only does mine not work but I can't even download any songs over 5.7MB!!!!!! Please, is anybody else having this issue?

 

[dumastudetto]

This is only a very minor inconvenience. Apple will fix it soon. There's nothing else to discuss really and it doesn't point to a QA problem within Apple. This is one of the best iOS updates Apple has ever delivered.

 

[patrickcwelsh]

Same for me (iPhone 6). Doesn't really bother me much though. I don't download new apps very often.

At least we have multi-cultural emojis?
