I wasn’t either... up until beta 7. Beta 8 has improved but it isn’t showing new emails. New emails don’t come up unless I go into the mail app and refresh it manually.

I’m using Spark now and never going back. Spark is better than the mail app has ever been.


On my car max I have 90 percent success rate emails has been working great since beta 4 or 5 no issues I did have to do a fresh install and restore and it worked great since than

If you see “iPadOS” naming as anything other than a marketing gimmick, it’s not me that doesn’t understand what they are doing.

Oh no, I’m pretty sure it’s you who doesn’t understand, seeing as how you don’t quite seem to understand how iOS is structured and in what manner they can fork it, easily.

... and furthermore how renaming it to iPadOS is less of a gimmick than was a necessity at this point... but pointless to continue this, as you’ll continue to not understand.

Cheers.
 
Cheers. I don’t know what the hell is going on with mine. But I’ve now lost a years worth of health/activity data after setting my phone up from new. Still with the same email and calendar problems. Meanwhile the iPad running the same beta and checking the same accounts is absolutely fine. I’m now restoring my phone again but it seems to be taking hours. I’m losing the will to live with this load of crap.

Sadly, Apple has always had an issue moving Health data into a new device if you set it up as ‘new’ and don’t migrate.

Use an app called HEALTH IMPORT to export your health data from the old iPhone and import it to the new iPhone.

Yeah, I know, pretty pathetic - but the app works really well at what it sets out to do and it’s the only option right now. Thanks, Apple “it just works”

Tangentially related, but might be of interest to HomeKit users. There's an app called Controller for HomeKit that allows you to backup and restore HK config. Anyone who's had serious problems and ended up just setting the whole thing up again will know the value in that. It can also do other things you should be able to do like look at live logging for debugging things.

Obligatory disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with the app or its makers.

That sounds really interesting but I can’t find this app, do you have a link for it?

Edit: Nevermind, I was searching from my iPad, it is there from my iPhone :)

Keyboard still sucks. German words with Ä, Ö and Ü are hard to write or swipe.
The workaround is to swipe as if you have a keyboard with no accents.

For example, instead of günstig swipe guenstig, instead of nervös swipe nervoes. It'll work it out and put the umlaut version there. I hope this improves.

That’s very useful thanks. Definitely going to check it out. It’s strange how Apple handle it...I’ve restored back and loads of my monthly challenges have disappeared, my last being June 2018. Unless it’s a bug in iOS 13 of course. Oh well, not too fussed now. Still gonna get that app though :)

Not that I’ve already explained most of this or anything, but you argue while failing to rebut. Never mind moving the goalposts — at no point have I argued that they cannot (or cannot easily) fork iOS. Someone with access to the system’s full source code could do so in a matter of seconds if they felt like it. I’ve said that from an engineering perspective, they should not (and likely won’t) fork iOS because it just doesn’t make any sense compared to the current approach.

Project forking can work for open-source software, but iOS is not open-source. Fittingly, Apple, as a public corporation with a de facto duty to its shareholders to maximize profit, seeks to develop it as efficiently as reasonably possible. Forking is likely to harm efficiency in software development, especially where much will be shared between the two forks. Why? At least some work that would have needed to be done once must then be done twice, the same way, each time. Setting aside the likelihood for human error in duplicating work, this introduces a paradoxical choice: Hire more engineers, or have your existing engineers reallocate some of their time to repeating their work? Why can’t they just continue what they’re doing — wouldn’t forking it just be “fixing” an approach that’s not broken?

Seriously, good luck presenting that through the lens of a cost–benefit analysis to the people who’d actually make the call. You’d need to have one hell of a reality distortion field handy to explain why you suddenly need to hire dozens and perhaps hundreds of new engineers to get the same result you’re getting now.

It’s just a shame that you’re not willing to provide any actual reasoning, as I’d love to hear about this secret sauce that makes defying best practices (i.e., implementing UIKit and now SwiftUI twice to mostly do the same things on iOS and a newly independent iPadOS) a good idea for iOS. Guess I’m just too stupid to understand or something.

Cheers.
 
Hi guys,

Strange bug since dev beta 7 for me on iPhone X:

The 1st app icon located at the upper left corner of the 1st homescreen doesn’t open at 1st touch.
I tried to change the app (which is iMessage for me) with an other, and the other app react as the previous one.
I tried to reproduce that behavior on an other screen of the homescreen, and it never happen...
I can see the icon blinking, so I presume that the touchscreen is ok, but the app doesn’t launch until I touch it another time.
Any idea ?
Thanks.
Franck

EDIT 1:
Ok, I did more tests:
I can now reproduce the bug. Here is the way to reproduce:
- swipe to one of your homescreen page.
- swipe up from the bottom of the screen to go directly to 1st page of the homescreen.
- try to launch any app.
- the 1st touch you do on the app doesn’t launch it. It only blinks one time and doesn’t launch.
- if you touch it a 2nd time, it launches.

EDIT 2: I tried on an iPhone XR with dev beta 8 and it doesn’t happen. Specific to iPhone X.

Can someone confirm ?

Thanks.

I can reproduce this on my iPhone X as well

Thanks !

It seems to be related to a slow refresh of the homescreen when swipe up.
If you wait a few seconds, this bug doesn’t occur.
Strange behavior for an iPhone X that is not an outdated phone...

Anyone else with sync problems in Notes.app? Never had any issues earlier, but since latest beta the syncing is extremely slow to sync between my iPad and iPhone. Sometimes I have to reboot the device to force it to sync with iCloud.
 
The last few days I had this random new issue that the phone would still show me as on WiFi even though I left the network and vice versa. Also „lockdown“ lost its VPN logo even though I am connected. Not sure if the latter is an issue of the app itself though.

i can even deactivate WiFi completely and it would still show the WiFi symbol in the Status bar for like a minute.

Not just me then. Same problem.
 
How’s the battery life in this beta compared to ios 12.4?

Upgraded from 12.4 to 13 PB7 a day or two ago and for me the battery is great:

Is anyone able to reload without content blockers on Safari? On my phone it just asks if I want to copy the URL.
