Shopify POS lots of problems after later IOS update

Hi there, since the last IOS update 2 weeks ago, we have major problems with Shopify POS running on 2 different iPad pros. 

The virtual keyboard disappears many times. Our whole inventory is unsearchable. Barcode scanners are scanning 1/3 of the barcode which gives us false scans.

 

We set up a regular iPad that was not updated and works for the moment. However, we would like to have our large iPad pros up and running. 

Who else is having problems after the update?

 

Thanks!

Our POS is doing the same thing post update.  Scan an item in, and if multiple products have the same barcode number they pos automatically selects one item instead of asking us to choose the correct item like it used to do.  It's always the wrong item and seems to default to the first item made that shares the barcode so it's often something no longer in stock (irrelevant, but this is what we have noticed).

We are having the same problem, please keep reaching out directly to Shopify chat line so they will push this up the list of things to fix!  We have been told on chat that they are aware of the issue and are working on it, but I think the more people asking for help with this is better.

I spoke with Chat earlier today and was told the solution would be to regenerate duplicate barcodes and resticker everything 🤦🏻‍♀️

What a stupid solution. For me, that literally doesn't do anything because the scanner itself is not correctly scanning any barcode. it will literally skip digits. Frustrating that they think this will solve it.

Same here, lots of issues since the new update , items added to chart no longer show images , adding one item sometimes inexplicably adds two. If the update is going to make everything worse , why update at all ? And the least they can do is to roll back the update and hire some QA. What a joke

What about the default changing on products from draft to active? We have individual/ one of a kind items. We will often do pictures , etc, but are waiting on the item to be in store. Then we create barcodes, print them, and make the product ‘active’. 

I was off for a week, and have a huge mess. No warning that a basic default was changing, or option to change it back. 

I now have inventory double entered, floor items without barcodes. Products online without pictures or price. 

I spent a long time setting up a system for our store, and it’s just gone. We sometimes get over 60 consignment items a day. 

I reached out to Shopify, and support wasn’t even aware of the default change. 

I can see where other businesses might want an ‘active’ default, but then you make that an option in settings.
