AA App for the Apple iPhone / iOS - Questions, Issues
The iPhone American Airlines app now (Sep 2014) requires iOS 8.0 to run properly. If you have an earlier iPhone you do not wish to update from iOS 7 or previous versions due to battery usage and reported slowness, the AA app now requires updating to iOS 8 to communicate and exchange data with AA.
The previous iPhone American Airlines App works with iOS 7.0 and was originally released September 2013; the newest version is 3.4.1 (for fixes for iPad crashes). Further information can be found in the iTunes store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/american-airlines/id382698565?mt=8
cubuffaloes2004 states:
"What's New in Version 3.3.0
- Now retrieve your mobile boarding pass for AA flights (for eligible cities) on itineraries with codeshare flights
- Ability to change your seat on US Airways flights
- Upon check in, see status of systemwide and 500-mile upgrade requests
- Mobile boarding pass redesign/enhancements
- Smarter search capabilities on Flight Status and Schedules
- Various other bug fixes"
Also displays the incoming flight.

CDG, FCO, MXP are supposed to be able to accept mobile boarding passes. PVG can not.
See the aa.com airport's page to verify if your airport supports mobile boarding passes here.

The strange thing is that I get a 404 (This page has taken flight) error when looking at the reservation on aa.com.

We had IRROPS on the outbound, and my reservation after rebooking appears to be a one way in the system, not a round trip. That's probably why it happened.
I knew it.
Edit: so it was just a bag and hand swab. No big deal, but my onward flight shows no pre check. Boo.

Yup. SSSS on the boarding pass. Nothing yet. I'm in the lounge. I wonder if this will be questions or if there is more to it.

They will not all come up in the AA iPhone app. Only your BP will.
...at least that has been my experience as of July 5th, when I last traveled with the fam.

Yes, but you will have to have the BPs emailed to you, and then save them one-by-one into your iPhone Wallet.

Nothing red flagged at security. Hopefully nothing flags are the gate. Boarding soon.
Edit: standard beep and no additional security. Hooray!

I had a similar issue when I flew home to the US via CDG-LHR. I couldn't get my boarding pass after I checked in. The app kept telling me to see an AA agent at the airport. When I got to the airport, I went to AA who sent me to BA (first leg). BA had both my boarding passes ready. Nothing was wrong, although I was left confused. I got home without any issues.

If someone has SSSS on their BP and try to slip something past security they must be morons..... What is the point of telling people they are getting screen again? If they really were carrying something dangerous they could just hand it off to someone else.

Not a clue especially since my wife was on the same reservation and she could have taken my carry on on board since she didn't get the SSSS. I guess we would have to ask "experts" at DHS...
