iOS 14.5 Beta 7 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[chillip]

So far so smooth.

Feels exactly the same as beta 6

Guessing green tint hasn't been fixed, going off no release notes for this beta.

We need new wallpapers!!!

Over 600 Billion uploaded to the internet already. Take your pick.

What I would like is choice to have the text under icons white or black or a color/ contrast of my choosing rather than Apple's. That way, I would be able to use a lot many wallpapers I cannot because I abhor the black text under icons.

THIS! I’m so glad I’m not the only one that feels this way. I had a wallpaper recently that I really liked but it defaulted to black text even though white text would’ve been perfectly visible. I hate that.

I can't get the beta 7 download to show up for me here in the midwestern US.
A few days ago I saw the beta profile had expired 0n 4/1, so I installed a newer one, and deleted the old one, with reboots, of course. Anyone know why?

Thanks

Update: When I got home from work I redownloaded the new beta profile again, rebooted and then the beta 7 showed up. Anyone have a clue why that is?

It's nice to see Apple taking their time with this one.

Same old bugs.

Memory issue (causes partial crash) when running certain shortcuts from a widget on my iPhone 11 (works on 16GB 6S).

Calendar widget removes events after 15 minutes regardless of the actual duration if longer.

Volume is still a bit random/iffy when notifications come in.

Public beta is out (Finland).

How about the camera issue where photos looks blurred in low light? Have Apple fixed this in beta 7?

Don't expect small things like this to get fixed soon if ever. Unless its a show stopper apple doesn't care. Sad thing we have to accept. Adding new features is more important than actually supporting/fixing bugs associated with those new "features"

All about selling product.

I have a 12P and not had any such issue on any version.

I have a random question for developers, been a while for health reasons since I did a lot of Xcode work and I can't quite remember. I know if I had the not yet real iOS 15 beta installed I'd need the not yet real Xcode 13 beta to compile and test apps on it and then I can't submit them to the App Store until a later point. But does the same Apply for iOS 14.5? Can I install the iOS 14.5 beta / macOS beta but not use the beta Xcode and still test and submit apps?

I'm having real issues with current macOS on an M1 and I really just want to move on. Really starting to find this delay in release a but absurd. I'm not caring about new features but I'm suffering from a handful of system issues and not the only one either. These really should have been sorted months ago.

And that is surprising, why?

Agreed. I have similar issues with Big Sur. I've logged a feedback that I know (from apple forums) that others have also logged with the same description and components. My feedback has been there for months and still says that no-one else has reported the issue. This means that there are some components (Photos in this case) where they're not even looking at the feedback reports.

Still, despite my mini rant, I'm ok with iOS 14 and Big Sur. And I guess Apple know that

Hope @Banglazed is alright...

Anyway, as mentioned in the Speculation thread, the blank bar bug in the Messages app is still here. Shocking, I know.

How are your iMessage link?
