iOS 10.3.2 Beta 4: Changes, Bug Fixes, Enhancements etc.

[Evelyn Harthbrooke]

Can anyone test the issue of vanishing notifications on this beta. I am not on developer beta and am unable to wait for public beta to know about this issue.
The issue is - clear all notifications from notification centre by clicking ,clear button multiple times at the top right of notification centre.
Then receive a mail notification in NC. Now open mail app. This opening and closing of mail app will clear the NC of the mail notifications showing there.

There are no issues of vanishing notifications on my end. And dude, you could just install the dev beta profile from here and try testing these things yourself first instead of only posting in a thread asking if the issue still persists and not test it in the new beta.

The reasoning here is that YouTube has monetized the ability to play audio in the background. It's one of the features you gain when you pay for "YouTube Red" in addition to no advertising.

This is just a case of closing off a loophole to encourage more people to pay the Red tax. It's such a ridiculous thing to monetize, but I suppose YouTube has to make a profit somehow.

You can fake it out.

Start an audio/video in YouTube in Safari, Chrome, or the YouTube app.
Press 'home' and it stops playing.
Swipe up to get into the control center, then right to get the music controls.
Press play.
YouTube is fooled

Dang you're right. Just tested it. Works perfectly.

Well, I can call it a week then -- reached my quota of being right already, and it's only Monday LOL

 

[Chazzle]

Yes. I also try it with Google Chrome. And it is working. I use this https://www.youtube.com/?app=desktop

Nope, still not working for me. Can anyone else try this?

Well, you're partially right. Works in Safari, fails to work in the YouTube app because of the fact that Google clears all instances of YouTube from the now playing card upon reaching the home screen. Haven't tested Google Chrome though.

Is anyone having issues with HomeKit / HomeBridge on this beta? Completely stopped working on my devices

This also doesn't work for me. I wonder if there is a setting preventing this from working on my end.

Reset all of your iOS settings. That might fix it, because it's working just fine on my end. Tho I was signed out when I tested it.

Not worth it. Thanks though. Also not signed in when I tested. Oh well.

My native HomeKit and my zigbee lights controlled by my Almond+ router using HomeBridge are both still working after the update.

 

[GBstoic]

Could someone post the release notes please?

P.S. The public beta is out

I haven't noticed a single difference in this beta. Tells me that its under the hood stuff and stability enhancements. Very well the last beta

Same could have been said of beta 3, yeah? Stability enhancements > user facing changes

Verify a bug, or is it unique to me?

Set up your multiple email accounts to have separate signatures.

Touch one of the signatures later to change the signature, Settings crashes.

I tried it and actually edited one and no crash.

And why are you unable to wait? The PB comes out later in the day also if its not fixed then what? Not much can be done about it. Just saying. And no idea if its fixed or not sorry. I dont get notifications for mail.

Still can't play audio from YouTube videos with the screen locked. Looks like that's intentional behavior at this point. Still works with MacRumors videos though. Some kinda copyright check that happens?

It's intended behavior from Google's side. If you ever manage to get it playing with the screen locked, it's probably a bug (and a violation of Google's T&C if you don't have YouTube Red).

 

[sbailey4]

All I know is thank god Yahoo mail is fixed. Now I can get my monthly emails from them recommending to change my password because they have been breached again.

I don't think that many people are running this beta, which is why it's so quiet. 10.3.1 is really damn good, and there's not much incentive to run the beta at the moment. That's my current situation.

I'm thinking of installing it on my iPad just for kicks, but haven't had much free time to do such things lately.

Looks like 10.3.2 is shaping up to be quite shiny though.

Being unable to use any sort of VPN in the first beta directly pushes me away from using beta this time. I don't care if they are fixed in future beta. I just hope they don't break those existing features in official release.

No, all working fine here. [Hue]

I doubt it works for the YouTube app as that can have customised control over background playback, and Google have disabled that. It's worth noting that the ability for Safari to play in the background should exist for all media played in the browser, YouTube or not.

Digital audio sent to an external device (DAC) still mutes after a random period even though the Music app still thinks it is playing.

Once this has happened I can redirect audio to an airplay device and then back to the DAC and then the sound returns.

This has been broken since 10.3 and attracts a lot of attention in audio hardware forums.

On a positive note Yahoo Mail appears fixed and my Apple Watch now gets unlocked automatically when I unlock my phone.

I've been having this issue too. Also with unlocking my Mac. Hopefully this fixes.
