One of the very best iPhone games currently available has a 2.2 star rating on the App Store, despite the game itself being very good. It’s because, recently, those who have downloaded it have suddenly found themselves unable to boot it up, and a recent pair of iOS and iPad updates are to blame.
Civilization VI is currently entirely broken on both iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4 or later. If you have the latest update, you will be hit with a notification upon booting up the game, stating “AppHost initialization failed in ‘DidFinishLaunching’ Exit code: 1.” As originally reported by TouchArcade, writer Mikhail Madnani has tried launching the game "across four different iPhones and three iPads” and all seven of these devices manage to hit the same crash.
