iOS 14.2 Beta 4 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[krishmk]

thank god for 14.2 this update popup is annoying as hell... every goddamn min this shows up

Apple has created a new developer beta profile, which possibly fixes something going on on the background that was causing the 14.2 internal Release Candidate to be showing up as new code available prior to be in public developers. Advised to remove the current Beta profile prior to install the new one. Afterwards, it is a 4Gb+ full image file, not an incremental one (at least for my device model).

No new Beta Profil. GM Release - thats it

Mine is on Beta 4, it doesn't allow me to see the GM update

The profile is still located under Apple Developer Beta. The profile itself is still called “iOS 14 Beta Software Profile”. While it is for a release candidate code - which is also not the same as a Golden Master -, it is for all purposes a beta profile.

Mine is on Dev Beta 4 - can see and am currently downloading the update.

Just finished updating from Public Beta 4 to the GM/RC - haven't gotten the update available pop-up since. (It should be noted that I've removed and re-added the beta profile to my device a couple times over the last couple days trying to troubleshoot this) - in case there was an altered beta profile made available that somehow contributes to the issue going away.

There's one thing every developer will tell you, do not deploy on a Friday.

brb, eating my hat.

Is this GM only for beta users? Don’t see it on my iPod yet.

Dev and public beta only.

Dev and public beta only.

The release version is out later?

 

[Ansath]

The release version is out later?

I would reckon during the week of the 9th. As usually a week between GM and public release, so Devs can test their apps. we had a 24 hour gap with 14.0 but that was an extremely rare exception.

Oh ok.

There won't be a public release today, as we haven't had GM. Apple One is just purely a subscription tier, which is going to be a server side switch (I'm over simplifying, I know).

Looking back, and the one time I don’t say ‘probably’ and then today happens! Whoops. Nice to be wrong on this occasion.

I guess I was right 😂

The GM is not a must-have. 14.2 on a Friday does seem like a stretch though .

 

[Ansath]

Half right, as there isn’t a public release, just dev and PB release. 🤪

To take a break from the update bug: I've never been able to get the Translate app to work. 100% of the time, I get "Translation Unavailable Translation is unavailable at the moment. Try again at a later time." Has anyone seen—or better yet, solved—this?

I posted this on a thread about the Translate app, too, but no responses there, so figured I'd try here. Thanks.

The same bug is happening here too. The app used to work before, right after I've upgraded to iOS 14, but now it's not working anymore.

If I delete the language packs (for offline translations), it works. But whenever I redownload them, it stops working and returns the "translation unavailable" error message. I've already deleted and reinstalled the Translation app, but the bug persists.

The hard reboot seemed to fix the Visual Voicemail issue for a few days, but then it went back to not showing new messages. I put in a bug report for it, hopefully it get a fixed in the next beta.

Any luck with this resolving?

I’m still having the problem (now on the official public release) as is my wife

We haven’t checked the kids’ phones yet

Really frustrating

Probably better asking on the thread about the public release, than the Beta 4 thread.

Someone mentions about voicemails recently in there: #148
