Apple updates mobile iWork apps w/ iOS 8 support & iCloud Drive compatibility

Following updates to a number of its other iOS apps for iOS 8 earlier today, Apple has just released an update for its Numbers app. The update includes iOS 8 support and iCloud Drive compatibility and comes ahead of what we expect will be similar updates for Apple’s other iWork apps, Pages and Keynote, later today. (Update: Pages and Keynote 2.4.2 are now available with these changes.)

Earlier today we noted that developers are warning users upgrading to iOS 8 to not opt into iCloud Drive until the release of OS X Yosemite. The feature, which allows users to store and access files stored in iCloud on Mac, Windows, and iCloud-enabled iOS apps, is available to users on iOS 8 starting today, but could break the ability to sync documents between Macs before the release of OS X Yosemite later this year.

The updated Numbers app is available on the App Store now.

What’s New in Version 2.4.2

• Support for iOS 8
• iCloud Drive compatibility
• Stability improvements and bug fixes

    Started to think this wasn’t coming today.

    Seems nice. Still waiting to see it on my devices for some reason.

    What sucks about it is every document I clicked on asked me, “The spreadsheet in iCloud isn’t synced, which version do you want me to keep?” It did this for every presentation!

    It’s not just iOS8 support; it seems they dropped iOS7 support at the same time.

    Needing a fix a week after its release and now the fix needs fixing? Don’t the people at Apple know how to test drive these things before they let them loose to screw up everyone’s computers? WWSD? Probably fire the SOB that didn’t do his job.

    Since installing iOS8 the date function on sore adherents in Numbers doesn’t work. Any idea what the problem might be?
