Ahh yeah it was and still is an iPad problem. An update can shut down the unit if it glitches and if the unit isn't working properly then by FAA rules the planes can't fly.
Or are you claiming that iPad's are glitch proof?
I said I can’t tutor you since you are obviously tech-challenged here ... LOL ...
The iPad didn’t have a problem, an app had a problem. The iPad didn’t crash, the app crashed. The iOS on the iPad didn’t have a problem, the database inside the app had a problem.
American Airlines did a real simple workaround, they supplied the relevant files outside of the app, so that the app was not used for this file. It only affected a very few planes in the fleet, as only a few were headed to Reagan National (the problem file).
Now, since you are unable to understand what this means, I would advise you get some tech-savvy friend to help you out ... :-) ...
