Apple software updates

Do folks agree that the time taken for Libre to catch up with apple software updates can lead to security compromises on your phone if you put off updating the software until Libre have posted their approval for that particular update? Also, why does it take so long for Libre to catch up with apple software updates?

Hi,
It's not just Libre I'm afraid, Dexcom take just as long. The biggest issue is they are medial devices which have to be 'certified'. It's not like ordinary software that if it goes wrong it doesn't matter, you can make serious decisions based on its output. Therefore they have to do a lot more testing everytime the OS is updated. That said, they get the new releases in advance so you would hope they have more time to test. However I'm not sure how long the MHRA in the UK and other bodies in other countries take to approve the new versions of the apps.

Many thanks marke, it's a pity we can't make representations to Libre/Dexcom to speed up the process. I spoke to apple about this but very non committal. Everyone wants to cover their back

I am beginning to think it's just me, however, Abbot have at long last just announced an update to 18.5 but I can only download 18.7.1 or 26! So it appears that once Abbot have got around to updating apple have moved on so you can't go back and sync with the latest Abbot update!
Sorry if I am making a meal out of this but surely this must affect many others?
