Papers, Please is taken down from the App Store temporarily to fix iOS 10 crash

| Papers, Please

It's the 13th of September everyone, and you know what that means. Happy iOS 10 day! Well, unless you're trying to play Papers, Please on iPad, in which case maybe it's not so happy.


Developer Lucas Pope tweeted out this morning saying "Papers, Please for iPad crashes at startup on iOS 10. I removed it from sale while a fix gets sorted out." Obviously this isn't the best thing to start the release of the new operating system but it does raise a good question.

For those upgrading to iOS 10 today with older games such as Papers, Please, Don't Press the Button, and maybe anything behind a certain age, is this error going to be a common occurrence? Or rather, is there an area of the upgrade that developers, programmers, and consumers alike have forgotten to think about?

Until anything else crops up, we'll just assume Papers, Please had a bit of a tantrum and it'll no doubt be back up within the fortnight.
