@ jerome You have an out-of-date version of: j/system/ios/ios.ijs
The app bundle has an up-to-date copy, but the recent App Store update has not replaced your old copy. I have logged this as a bug. Workaround [1] Use Files app to copy the entire j/ folder from your sandbox to your iCloud Drive (for restoring lost files) [2] Remove app: jios 903.1 from your device entirely [3] Reinstall jios 903.1 from App Store If unsure how to do these things, ask me. Observations Some users don't want an App Store update to overwrite sandbox scripts they have edited. But some new features don't work unless (some) existing (system) scripts are replaced. The app already has ways to address the issue without reinstalling, but they are unreliable, tricky to use and need a deep knowledge of both iOS and App Store. Basically you must force jios to do a "maiden run". On other platforms, pacman addresses this issue. But App Store prohibits pacman for security reasons. At present the only reliable way to release an upgraded addon or system script is to ship a new release. Apple provides a better way, viz. a "public database". I am investigating it.
