Something we will take a look at… but we’re using the native “Files” app for project storage on iOS, which wasn’t implemented until iOS11. I assume you’re using an iPad 4?

Yes, they have older devices that won’t move.
Thanks!
While it’s unfortunate this breaks compatibility for older iPads, this is a great and useful feature that I really hope will remain in the app. By saving projects in iCloud Drive through the native files app, I was able to quickly switch between editing my projects on my mac and on my iPad (and I could do the same on Windows by saving the projects in Dropbox or Google Drive).
This doesn’t appear to be possible on any iOS robot programming solution I’ve used (for IQ or any other platform), and I think teams will find it super useful.

100% agreed. We won’t be removing the “Files” compatibility, just looking into how we might extend it in the future for older devices.

Thanks for the update!
Looks GREAT! I’ve been watching out for this since chatting to you guys (developers!) at the pre-meeting at Worlds last year. So happy that we will have something with all the functionality that we can use on Macs. (And a big THANK YOU to RobotMesh for providing this for the last couple of years while I’ve been working with VEX IQ. Actually, I will probably base my course on the path developed by the RobotMesh guys, but trying this environment out.) On the topic of courses, I see that there are some Tutorials in the Application already: having a look at what the RM guys produced when adding more Tutorials would not be a bad idea…
I would also add weight to the desire for Bluetooth connectivity from laptops (specifically Macs): USB ports and cables are getting very tired…
Text coding would also be great: I’d love to move focus to this with my students as a bridge to V5…
I look forward to using this with my students this year; I will go and check out the Tech Support discussion now. Are there any other discussions about IQ Blocks, or should we concentrate on these 2?
Cheers!
