iOS App Freezing w/ Linking to BT ODB

Questions

Anyone tried to link ABRP to an OBD device lately? I was hoping this 6.0 would fix it but my app locks solid every time I try. I go to the settings for my car, Hit the Link button under ABRP OBD Connection, tap Understand on the Warning, and it goes to the scanning page but just freezes. No buttons do anything. I can't tap Privacy Policy. Nothing. I have to kill the app.

Running IOS 18.5 on iPhone.

    That’s it! Thanks for the help! They should put those instructions on the previous screen.

    Only reason I paid for a subscription.

      I fixed it. Go look at ABRP’s app permissions and enable BT.

    Solved. Came to check the status on the post and saw a recommended post with the same issue. The app locks up when the app does not have access to BT…which appears to be the default now as I never got the option from iOS. May want to add a check to the app? Thank you!

    Hi

    Have you tried to kill the app and start it again?

      Yes. Several times.
