iOS 12.x.x Speculation Thread [Merged]

[atlchamp]

You're forgetting Saturday. Don't think Apple does releases on a Saturday? Well, they have, and let's look at the last time they did:

https://9to5mac.com/2017/12/02/apple-releases-ios-11-2/

It fixed a date crashing bug

That gives me hope! Thanks

 

[MrGimper]

Oh no reason.

Except the guys working at Foxconn Zhengzhou need software to load onto the 50,000 units of iPhones being assembled every day. Those iPhones need to be on air cargo pallets in the next 14 days so they can reach stores and UPS distribution points on September 21.

So, no reason at all.

Was going to post exactly the same!

They basically know what’s causing it...probably already fixed and update released today.

I mean, it’s annoying, but it’s not the end of the world...

Looking at the de-compiled iOS source code that’s been posted online, looks like some errors with the date calculations in the method showDeveloperBuildExpirationAlertIfNecessaryFromLockscreen - I think it would be a relatively easy fix.
My guess is new beta today!

the update error is server side it happens on beta 10 or 11 so a beta 12 wouldn't fix it

Nah I think it's something to do with how close it thinks we are to some expiry date. Further back you got it occasionally, now it's with every lock screen dismissal. That's why some people have stopped it by changing the date on their phone to a few days ago.

As I said in the post right before yours, looking at the de-compiled iOS source code that’s been posted online, looks like some errors with the date calculations in the method showDeveloperBuildExpirationAlertIfNecessaryFromLockscreen - 100% not server side

New beta/fix coming either in 5 or at 10 AM PST

Beta 12 is out, downloading now.

 

[gwang73]

Yup. B12 is released. Downloading now too.

iOS 11 beta 10 was released on September 6 last year. Phone launch on September 22.

The beta is always at least a week or two behind Apple's internal version.

By the time Beta 10 came out, Apple had already frozen iOS 11. Any bug reports would be taken care of in iOS 11.0.1.

 

[PBz]

It’s here.

 

[JPack]

There's no reason to distribute that build to the public though, especially if it contains things like new wallpapers that Apple would like to keep under wraps until the iPhone event.

I agree it won't be distributed to the public.

All I'm saying is, right now, iOS 12 has already hit GM stage. Even with today's update, we're testing older code that's about 2 weeks old.

 

[one more]

The new betas are out, both DB and PB.

Tell us your secrets

Tell us your secrets

I mean...he said 8am or 10am.. Pretty much all of us expected a beta today to fix the issue. So he kind of narrowed it down to the only possibilities.

I didn’t realise 8am was a ‘known’ release time (10am and 1pm being more common). Unless it’s just common sense cos it’s around the earliest time you might expect enough people to be in the office to do it?

There have been a handful of 8am releases in the past. Both public and beta.

Prior to iOS 7, betas didn’t have a set time like 10am. They would come out at all hours, including 5pm on a Friday night.

Sorry, while I normally agree with you, I actually came across information in this case. 8AM PST is extremely rare (can’t recall a release at this time to be honest), whereas 7AM sometimes happens but 10AM is the standard.

To my knowledge, there has never been a 7am release. It’s possible it’s getting confused with daylight savings time. But 8am has occurred a handful of times.

I mean, now days they are. That was all pre-iOS 7. Post iOS 7 it’s been 8am, 10am and 1pm.

Nope.
