iOS 18 beta 5 Bugs
I am experiencing a bug on my iPhone 13 after updating to iOS 18 beta 5. This bug causes my phone to unexpectedly show a black screen with a "loading" indicator, and then it returns to the lock screen. I have to unlock it for the phone to return to normal. This issue occurs repeatedly. I am not entirely sure what is happening with my device. I believe it is also experiencing overheating issues. Although the battery seems to be optimized, the phone is getting hot and still has the same bug mentioned above after the iOS 18 beta 5 update. Please help me, I would like to so much resolve this issue.

I can't unlock my MacBook Pro M1 using OS 15 and 15.1
I started a thread stating the above and apparently I am not the only one to encounter this issue. My Apple Watch is the version 10 and I certainly didn't expect to have this problem. My older Apple Watch did have this same problem initially but after a few updated it stated working. I only tried the consumer beta hoping the issue was resolved. One of the posts today hoped the next update would fix it and I informed him I had installed the beta and it still wasn't working.

“Unable to check for update” ios 18
Hi I am on an iphone 15 pro (US version) running ios 18 build number 22A5282m and the software update page of settings says that beta updates are off (cannot be turned on (there are no public or developer beta options either)) and the main page displays this error message: “Unable to Check for Update An error occurred while checking for a software update. Try Again“ <— in blue i tried to put my device into recovery mode to restore but it just started bootlooping and only stopped when i let go of the power button. next was the factory reset. i completely emptied the phone and set it up again. i restored from an earlier backup but the problem still remained. I am unable to update and my battery life is really suffering (3-4h of screen on time. Background app refresh and location services are turned off and low power mode is turned on) any ideas would be appreciated thanks

IOS 18 Beta 2
Hello, I encountered a problem in the latest beta version of ios 18. When I go to any browser or game, everything freezes and I can't do anything. The keyboard does not open and there is no response to touch. It started in the evening, but at first everything was fine. I hope you will fix it. I can't use the browser

Banking App gives Jailbreak warning
Hi Community I‘m having a strange issue. Let‘s tell the whole story. I had an iPhone 14 Pro Max and used normally my Swiss banking app „Postfinance“. When iOS 17 was released, I decides to load the beta version of it. After that my banking app didn‘t work anymore and always claimed the iPhone to be jailbroken. I then switched off the beta , but still the same issue. Now i switched to the iPhone 16 Pro Max and still do have the same issue with a completely new device. For sure I transfered my data but this issue should be gone in my opinion. I also tried to contact my bank. They say on their side everything is working fine with the iOS app. Any idea guys? Is there anything I can „reset“ somewhere? Best Fabian

macOS 15.1 Beta 5: Mac App Store unable to install apps "The file “preflight.pfpkg” doesn’t exist"
Hello everyone, Ever since installing macOS 15.1 beta 5 on this M1 13’’ MacBook Pro, I have been unable to install or update any application from the Mac App Store. I keep getting the following error: “The file “preflight.pfpkg” doesn’t exist.””. The same machine was fine with 15.0 Sequoia and the problem happens regardless of the region setting of the machine. The machine has at least 148 GB of free disk space on the SSD. The same app I was trying to install from the MAS app I could install from the provider’s website (WhatsApp in this case, but I have tried with other apps too). Has anyone noticed it before? Raised the following Feedback ID if it can help: FB15296904 Kind Regards, Goffredo

iOS 18.1 Beta 5 bugs
I've just updated to iOS 18.1 Beta 5 update and I'm not able to see FaceTime audio/ video calls in the phone call log at all as it's like no where. And even in FaceTime there is no summary like call duration or recent calls log, just last call listed. Please resolve this issue and have FaceTime calls logs to be shown in the phone call logs as that was perfect and categorised.

HealthKit bugs related to new workout effort score - heart rate samples take forever to fetch, Health app displays invalid data
I am encountering issues on my device running iOS 18 that fetching heart rate samples associated to a given workout is very slow. Like 10+ seconds slow. This is unacceptable and unexpected. In producing a video to attach to a feedback, I also observed that Apple Health app displays incorrect information if a workout effort score is associated to a workout. In this image, you can see the Health app bug: Total Resting Energy != Estimated Workout Effort Score Here is the same workout after I delete the workout effort score using the Apple Health app: Can anyone else see if attempting to view 'heart rate' data within the workout summary in Apple Health is unbearably slow if that workout also has an effort score associated? My steps: Record workout (Apple Activity app on watchOS) Associate effort score View the workout on Apple Health (iOS) Attempt to view it's heart rate samples Observe very slow loading times Observe the incorrect cell label and value and disappearance of resting energy cell data Remove/disassociate the effort score from the workout by tapping the workout effort row, and swipe to delete the value. Navigate back, navigate back, and then go into the workout detail again At this time the UI fixes itself, but the loading of heart rate data is still super slow FB15269657 - HealthKit: Sample query to fetch heart rate samples associated to a workout is taking over 10 seconds - computing 'time in heart rate zone' FB15278790 - Health: Workout summary 'Total Resting Energy' label has value of 'Estimated Workout Effort Score' for a value, pushed view shows empty

iOS 18 Bug -Certificate Trust Settings for Private Root Certificates Not Available
Importing an existing self- signed trusted root certificate no longer triggers option to trust cert in Settings / About / Certificate Trust Settings In iOS 18. Cert installed manually from internal website, as email attachment, and using profile in Configurator all produce same result. Same cert and processes work on iOS 16.7.10, iOS 17.6.1 and iPadOS 18.0 But not on iOS 18.0 nor beta iOS 18.1 beta5 on iPhone 16 Also tried regening a new test root on macOS Sonoma and installing using Configurator. No difference. It’s broken - I’ve reported it by Feedback - it’s a vital security flaw. Anyone else see this or have a workaround?

What's the correct way to check for unavailable API?
I ran into a problem recently with my production app and an update for iOS 18. In this example I was using a new API added to the RC candidate of iOS 18.0, using this API as an example, I couldn't find a satisfactory way to avoid crashing on iOS 18.1 where the API was not available. I had plenty of users running the iOS 18.1 Beta and ultimately it's my fault if a version of my app did work, and then didn't after an update.... This code causes a crash on iOS 18.1 beta as the .appleSleepingBreathingDisturbances API doesn't seem to have made it's way into the beta: if #available(iOS 18.0, *), #available(watchOS 11, *) { healthKitTypesToRead.insert(HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .appleSleepingBreathingDisturbances)!) } I tried this but it still crashed on 18.1: if #available(iOS 18.0, *), #available(watchOS 11, *) { if let newQuantity = HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .appleSleepingBreathingDisturbances) { healthKitTypesToRead.insert(newQuantity) } } In the end the only way I could resolve this was the following: if #available(iOS 18.1, *){ // Do nothing } else if #available(iOS 18.0, *), #available(watchOS 11, *) { if let newQuantity = HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .appleSleepingBreathingDisturbances) { healthKitTypesToRead.insert(newQuantity) } } This seems like a poor solution and I'll have to ensure I release a new version of the app once iOS 18.1 has the available API added to enable support for the feature. How could I have checked availability for this API correctly without causing the app to crash? I'm asking this question more as a Swift language feature rather than issue with the specific API as I'm sure that will get resolved soon anyway. Thanks
