64 Bit n-serve

Posted by: SecondOne on 08 June 2017

As Apple doesn't except apps written in 32 Bit anymore, what about the app n-serve? At the moment I can't update my iPad to iOS 11 because of n-serve.

Does anybody know if Naim is planning an update?

I've got an answer from Naim:

"The n-Serve app is a 64 bit app and so should work correctly on iOS 11 (in fact it is running fine on our iOS 11 development devices)"

In fact, there is a new n-serve app in the app store with a black icon. The old one had a green icon.

Thanks SecondOne, good news for HDX users (and for my potential resale value).

The problem was between my ears. The app has never been seen in the update list because it is a new app. So I've used an old app for a time I don't know.

There we go, panic over, the current version of the app wasn't incompatible in the first place!

I'm a bit late to this topic, so correct me if I'm getting it wrong.

At present, I use the Naim app to control my NDS, with my HDX acting as a ripper / server.

As far as replay is concerned, will things remain as is, i.e. usable?

Regarding editing of metadata, I use nServe at present, via my iPad, so, ignoring the iPad, will I still be able to do this via the desktop app on my MacBook?

Non tech answers would be appreciated .................... sorry. 

Yes.

The Naim app is for current devices, so Naim will ensure it runs on IOS 11.

If you upgrade your IPAD to IOS 11, the N-Serve app will not run on it. (Although Jon H has pointed out this may not actually be the case.)

The desktop app will not be affected, so you can still edit via the desktop.

The main challenge comes for people who use the HDX as a player, as without the app you'd need to choose the music you're playing from the front screen or via the remote, so in practice by standing or sitting next to the HDX.

Many thanks, Eoink .............. phew! 

 

And thrice phew! ........................ much ado about nothing, methinks?
