New Mavic Air delivered yesterday, doing wired connection and ios app crashes every time I try to get past safety test or do an update, won't let me get past these steps.  

Iphone XS Max, IOS v13.1.3.  I've reinstalled the app completely, rebooted phone, updated firmware on the drone and remote via my computer. 2 hours of troubleshooting so far with no solution.  I'm also reading similar experiences on the apple app store, and it seems to always be the Air, possibly only newly delivered Airs since the app was updated.


My first ever DJI product is a brick until this gets fixed. Any ideas until DJI fixes the app or Air firmware? Super disappointed in what should have been an exciting unboxing and first flight.  Is this kind of thing typical for DJI's app?

Thanks for the reply.  There's no error message, the app just completely crashes and it goes back to my home screen. Meeting up with a friend who also flies these, we're going to try his phone.

Again, taking a look at the other thread on this forum there's another few people with the same problem, and the reviews since the latest app update on the official apple store show the same issue.

I am also having this exact issue. Brand new Mavic air delivered yesterday wired connection to remote and as soon as I connect to the aircraft I can get 1 question into the safety quiz and it crashes every time

DJI Gamora - as I mentioned earlier, there's no error, the app just shuts down/exits. My friend tried his iPhone 8 on my drone and it does work for him. The others who are posting about this seem to either have iphone XS or 11's, and all have new Mavic Airs. Also, I CAN link my phone directly to the drone without the controller without issue, so it is directly related to the controller/wired connection. Let me know if I can provide anything else.

Update.... just went and flew with litchi and it worked perfectly. Not as clean as the go 4 app but if u wanna fly it’ll get u in the air. But would really like the go 4 app sorted...

Same issue just purchased Air last night.  Tried on iPhone 6 and 11 and as soon at the drone connects and starts to show video the app will crash.  If you can get the drone up in the air it won’t crash but as soon as it lands the app crashes.   

The app just crashes !!
Can’t do anything.
Crashes within 10 seconds of opening the app.
Attaching a video sample.

So after playing around a bit I’ve found that plugging in the phone turning everything on then turning the wifi on the phone off let’s me use the app for longer than 10 seconds. So I reckon it’s wifi related

It’s definitely the wifi/LTE... if it’s in airplane mode it works perfectly

Hi Scott,

I was having same issue just like you.
And I jailbreak my iphone8 plus, and install the previous version which is

Hi Scott,

I was having exact same issue just like you.
And I jailbreak my iphone8 plus, and install the previous version which is 4.3.24 and it works well now.

I hope these info will let DJI to make comparison and find out the root cause.

for now, maybe you should JB your phone now

By the way , i also got my Mavic Air yesterday as well.

Hi Scott,

Where did you find the old version?

Where did you find the old version?

You need to jailbreak your IPhone first and download a Tweak called AppStore++ from Cyndia.

I am having the exact same issue as @piratescott
with an iphone 8+, iOS v13.1.3

i just bought the mavic air yesterday. the app crashes immediately. I tried on 2 diff iphone 8. same issue

Same issue with the mavis air and iphone 11. Really frustrating and lack of service which I didn’t expect from a brand as DJI...

Hi, can you please try to uninstall and reinstall the application to see if the problem persists? Also, if you have any change trying to use a different mobile device for us to further isolate the issue? Please keep us posted. Thank you!

We all tried uninstall and reinstall the go 4 app. Also I even upgraded iOS from 13.1.2 to 13.2.2. I tried both iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 6s Plus. All have theirs issue. Did you qa team run regression tests for this new version of go 4 app? It is obviously a huge bug from this new version. Above many users encountered this obvious bug. Your way team can be fired without finding it and signed off the version release.

Hi I’ve done a little investigating and found that the app work perfectly if the device is in airplane mode and there is no internet connection. This work on iPhone X and iPad Pro 10.5

Yep putting the phone in airplane mode works perfectly but the moment you turn off airplane mode the app instantly crashes.

How about you roll the version back so users can use the equipment?

Same issue with my Air, IOS 13.2.2 and DJI Go 4 version 4.3.28

Just got my 1st Mavic Air on today, after the App Crashed 30 times and reinstalled 10 times, the Mavic Air still on the ground.
Very disappointed and considering get a refund

Junxi

Tried on both IPhone X and 7 plus.
Same issues, I am giving up for this.

Junxi

Exactly the same problem

Same problem for me...got my drone yesterday and been messing around for 3 hours and the thing hasn't got off the ground...if it was a £50 drone i could sort of understand.

Pls get this fixed sharpish

Hi everyone, Im new here and just got my drone 2 days ago and the app keeps crashing on me too. Tried on 2 different phones and same issue. Updated my iOS, uninstalled and re-installed the app several times. Been reading the thread and this issue has already been on going for days now. Is there an update or fix?

Hi guys!  I tested on iphone Xr iOS13.2.2. Works correctly. The app does not crash.

Put your phone in airplane mode and try.
