As you know, on 30 September 2021, an old SSL root certificate expired, preventing players from running the BBO App on older iPhones/iPads. Note that this issue is not unique to BBO, it also affects other 260 million apps and websites that use Let’s Encrypt certificates. To run the BBO App normally on an old Apple device, you’ll need to install a new Let’s Encrypt SSL root certificate. Luckily, it is quite easy to do so: • Visit https://letsencrypt..../isrgrootx1.pem using Safari on your iOS 9 device, to automatically install the new certificate (note: Safari only!) • When Safari downloads the certificate, it will recognize it as a configuration profile and open it in the Settings app • From there you just push Install, enter your passcode, push Install again, and push Install a third time on the dialog that pops up. BBO App should run normally after installing the certificate. Note: If you deleted the BBO app, click on PURCHASED entry at the bottom menu (AppStore), and search for “BBO” there. AppStore will install a BBO app version compatible with iOS 9. I got this from BBO support who have been very proactive in trying toi help me gain access on my IPAD . I dod hte above and it did not work - still had same probelm - However after installing the new root above . I then went to the Ap store - when I tried BBO for IPAD I could not access it but I also had the option to go to the Iphone AP . Under I phone Ap I was able to reload BBO on the IPAD and its working !! - this might help others . Goood luck

Has anyone managed to download the certificate to an IPAD - I have searched and cannot find a way to download the certificate Ipad is on version 9.3.5 would appreciate help

I am having the same problem on IPAD on version 9.3.5 . Have tried BBO support was advised to try using Firefox to get in but the ipad wont support the current version of firefox in the ap store . Was then advised to add BBO as a trusted site in safari Could not find a way to do this on my IPAD . Have searched and apparently one solution is to download the root certificate from Lets encrypt per some other comments . I have found the certificate but dont know how to get this onto the ipad . Any one else manage to download this or try this fix . It is very frustrating as have spent hours trying to figure this out without much success . It is so much easier to play Bridge on the IPAD Would appreciate any assistance .
