BluePrint - No Prompt

[Cranfan]

Hi Tim,

I used Blue Print last year and it worked perfectly, but this year it does not work.

When I use BluePrint on phone, everything seems normal. I get the expected screen to share the Printer and BluePrint detects the Printer.

When I try to connect on the iPad in WiFiBooth, I click the link in the Connection menu, I get that WifiBooth is searching for BluePrint.

I never get the prompt on the iPhone to authorize the connection. That seems to be the issue.

I have an old iPad 2. But it was working with the same iPad last year. Maybe I would need an older version of BluePrint?

Maybe it's because I have an old version of WifiBooth. I have version 4.6.3.

Any way to downgrade BluePrint to a compatible version.

You are correct - you need a newer version of wifibooth which requires iOS 12. Apple does not allow you to go back to old versions of apps sorry (you might be able to if you restore from a really old backup but even then I dont think apple allows it)

Hooo shoot... I cannot upgrade WiFiBooth anymore, because of the version of iOS I have I guess... So I'm kind of screwed?

The iPad Air 1 runs iOS 12 and was released in 2013.
So you just need an ipad that is six years old or newer. Can you find one used perhaps? Where i live in Canada it is easy to find a cheap one if it is that old
If it helps, there are no plans to move the minimum required version from iOS 12 to anything newer for a while
