No problem on outbound last weekend (checked in 31/5 for 1/6 flight) but attempting to check in for return (Sun 3/6 for flight on Mon 4/6) had this issue. Solved it by going to BA.com website on laptop which showed me as checked in, then back to app which gave me boarding pass.

Most frustrating.

the problem is when you do “Quick Check In”, but in the app if you go to “Change Seat” it takes you to a different page and if you make no changes you will see that it changes to “checked in”. When you go back to the app and select “Check In/Boarding Pass” it allows you to get and save your BP
This worked for me...I believe the change seat option takes you to the mobile website which showed I was already checked in so I exited check in and reloaded the front page of the app and the get boarding pass option appeared.

The only way out is to go on to the BA website, Manage My Booking and check in from there and send boarding pass by email. If i then go back to the app, I can successfully retrieve the boarding pass.

One person on Twitter so far has seen my tweet to BA and said they have the same problem.

Anyone else? Or do you know a fix?

BA have said email them with an error message, but there is no error message, it just seems to get stuck in a loop!
Had the same issue this morning. I logged into the website via my iPad and checked in through MMB, then was able to download my boarding pass to my iPhone. For reference I'm on IOS 11.1.2

+ 1 same problem(iPhone X) but the fix suggested seems to work. Reported it via the app feedback but never heard anything more

Anyone else having problems getting their boarding pass on the I-phone app?

I get the following error:
Check in / boarding pass error. Sorry, there was a problem with passbook.

It’s not my phone as I have tried in on both my personal and my work phone.

Using the app over the last few days it keeps erroring and logging me out! The problem is so severe that it happens whenever I move screen on the app.

Not great as I use a secure password and so have to copy and paste it from the password manager, making the app useless.

Take it I'm not alone? I can't see anything from BA flagging that they know there is an issue.

Same for me with the logging out as well.

Wish they'd fix it hi-jacking the audio as well.

Same here. Frustrating. Seems there is an issue with either the website of the app every time I ever go to use them. Very poor. I can't think of another business with such a high profile that is so incapable of producing and managing a reliable IT platform.

Every time I try to use my BA app (iPhone X, IOS 12.1.3) it tells me there is an error and logs me out. When I log back in, I can't see any bookings. Eventually, they appear. When I try to look at any of them, I get a message telling me there is an error and I am logged out again.

Unbelievably frustrating and irritating.

Yes it's been happening on and off for months but never as frequently as now.

If any of my clients had something this severe, it would be a P1 issue and the dev teams wouldn't be going home until it was fixed, tested, retested and deployed. It must be affecting hundreds of thousands of customers but they seem to think it's OK. Madness as it's so many people's major interface to their business and it makes the whole business look bad by association.

you can't have everything the money from maintaining BA's web services was spent on the 100 advertising. They have our money so we slip down the priority list and new business is king....
