Apple will be releasing iOS 6 for recent iPhones, iPads, and iPod touchs next week. It was released early to developers. I have tested it, and on neither of my iOS devices can I log in to AirBears. I don’t want to get into all the technical details, but I’m fairly certain there is an incompatibility that cannot currently be worked around, and will likely be resolved by a change to how AirBears handles logging-in.

In short, don’t update to iOS 6 right away if being able to connect to AirBears is important to you. I’ll post again once the problem is resolved.
