The 4.1.1 iOS Reviewer update went live on 2/21/13.
Known bug in iOS Reviewer 4.1.1
- MIBs downloaded in Safari (via a Dropbox link, for instance) will not open in the Reviewer.
This will be fixed in 4.1.2 Reviewer. Workaround: Copy the dropbox URL from the email and paste it into the URL field in the Reviewer under User Settings. That will download the issue directly to the library.
OR you can use the Simple MIB Pusher.
Known bugs in 4.1 - fixed:
- Verticals that include popups will only export as version 4.1 (even if assigned a different version number in the plugin).

FIxed on new builds as of Feb 21. Will be fixed in 4.1.2 reviewer. - Kindle HD 7 template for CS5.5 has wrong guide placement.
Fxed in 4.1.1 plug-in update. - Multi-device export to iPhone templates in CS6 and CS5.5 can introduce errors in target documents.
Fixed in 4.1.1 plug-in update. - Exporting via Photoshop with fullscreen images with zoom active can produce errors in the exported files.

- Popup video does not show controls while playing.
We switched to a new media player in 4.1 for better performance, but lost controls. We are investigating to see if we can bring them back. - Transparency in HTML blocks in pre-4.1 MIBs is not respected in 4.1 apps.
Still investigating this one. At the moment we only see this happening to HTML blocks that have a fill color in InDesign. A quick fix is to set the fill color to transparent.
If any of these items affect your app, you can revert to the 4.0.4 version of the toolset here. If you have already updated your Reviewer app, it is not possible to revert to a previous version. Instead, you can review using the 4.0.4 iOS Simulator, which can be downloaded here. If you see additional bugs in 4.1, please let us know in the dedicated 4.1 forum. You can also download the 4.1.1 reviewer iOS simulator app here. We'll fix things as fast as we can!
