Every member of my ward who has upgraded their iPad to iOS 9 has found that most, if not all, links on the LDS.org website Opens the Gospel Library app. And since those pages or tools are not available in the app we are getting content not available errors.

On a related topic. I updated my iPad to iOS 9 and now I can not log into lds.org. From the log in page, I am kicked over to the Gospel Library app.

The problem, with two suggested solutions, is discussed in this topic.

This link doesn't pose a work around or solution for logging into lds.org - only if you want to use a link in lds.org and it kicks you to the Gospel Library (long press and select in another tab instead of Gospel Library app - this only a work around and not a solution).

I know that others have mentioned issues using links on the website on iOS devices once they upgraded to ios9. Additionally, I cannot sign into the website with my lds account. Every time I try I get sent to the Gospel Library app. This is really annoying because I use the calendar to schedule all of our Stake's buildings as I travel and use my iPad.

Help!!

After some experimentation I found a workaround for website access from Safari under iOS 9:

Log into the website. This action will open the Gospel Library.
Close the church app
OpenSafari
Go to lds.org. You are now logged in.
To access specific tools, in the menu under Tools and Support select All Tools.
The links on the All Tools page open correctly.

I just hope nobody thinks a six step workaround is a satisfactory solution to the issue.

Update 9.0.1 fixed it.

I just updated to 9.0.1 and it still does not work correctly for me.

Hmmm. Ok. I was able to log in and use LCR and I tested a few links and they all worked for me. This was on an iPad Air if that helps.

I wasn't using links, per se, I was using the sign in function. If that helps.
