Troubleshooting
Problem: I am unable to log in to the App Hub web page.
Ensure that you are using the credentials for your WesternU email and the proper password. Make sure there are no extra spaces after your username or password. If you continue to have issues, contact Tech Support at (909) 469-5432 or techsupport@westernu.edu and say that you are having issues logging in with the LDAP system.
Problem: The web page says the app is incompatible with my device (and I'm using an iPad).
This often happens because the web browser on your iPad is set to "request desktop site", so the page thinks you are on a desktop. On Safari, this setting can be turned off in the menu shown below:

Problem: The web page says the app is incompatible with my device (and I'm not using an iPad).
Make sure the app you're trying to download is compatible with your device. Virtual Cranium is for Windows, Mac, and tablets, while the AR Companion app is for mobile devices and tablets only.
Problem: I installed the app on my iPhone/iPad but it says the developer is "untrusted" when I try to launch it.
This happens when you install an app from us the first time. You will need to go into Settings->General->Device Management and tap the button that says "Trust Western University of Health Sciences (ENT)". Try launching the app again and the message should be gone.
Problem: I installed the app on my iPhone/iPad but it says "the developer needs to update this app for newer versions of iOS".
This problem occurs when you are using an older version of the app. Please uninstall the app completely, then follow the download instructions at the top of the article to re-download.
Problem: I installed the app on my Windows/Mac device and there is a Configuration pop-up.
This is a window to let you choose the resolution you run the app at. If you don't know what resolution to choose, just leave the settings as the defaults. You can also choose to run the app as either Windowed or Fullscreen, and switch which monitor to display it on (if you have multiple). When you're done changing these settings, click the "Play" button at the bottom of the window to launch the app.
