I've been teaching the curriculum of @codeclub for 4 years now (see elsewhere in this thread) as an optional after school club in the U.K. It's massively over subscribed every term, this past term I've had 50% coverage of the

I used this link, but same principle as the other reply. http://osxdaily.com/2016/03/22/downgrade-ios-9-3-back-to-ios... Thing to note is that I didn't have the bug in 9.2.1 so I assume that something el
