This prompted me to do some more testing after a re-install. Turns out it seems to be just specific shows on Amazon that aren't playing for me, and it just so happened to coincide with the B6 update. I tested about 30 different shows with episodes of various lengths, doesn't seem to be related to the length of the episode or anything (thinking file size) but it seemed to occur with about 20% of the shows I tried.
I'm assuming it's not related to the update since I don't see how an iOS update could break some content but not all content in a 3rd party app, must just be something dodgy on Bezos' end.
Amazon Prime Video has been working fine for me last couple betas, including AirPlay functionality, on multiple iOS devices.
Interesting. I don't think I can make it through more than about 5 minutes (often less) without it just randomly exiting. Tried reinstalling, even changing some options, but doesn't look like that had much of an effect. Strange.
See if your workplace requires VPN connection at all times running Slack. The malfunction could be related to that. I have not had any issues running Slack on my beta iOS devices since PB1.
Cheers!
Not here, thankfully but I just updated last night. I've still used it a decent amount without issue. That could change.
Niantic, being a typical snobby company that makes a product thats quite liked, will probably drag their ass till iOS 14.1...
Having trouble with the native “Health” app. I’m able to input my weight but the weight chart only displays the same days weight. It will no longer show month, week or year. I’ve tapped on the “W, M, F” on the screen but it does nothing as if it’s frozen. Weight shows up in “Summary” view. The path for that is Health App>Summary>Weight.
They will probably just fix it when the GM comes out. They don't have any obligation to fix their app during the beta period as something could break it again in the next beta anyway. Installing a beta, especially for a major update, is at the user's risk. Pokemon Go is the only thing that keeps me from installing this beta, but I fully expected them to not fix it until the end of the beta cycle.
I am blown away by the number of people who play this thing. Who knew?
I've been playing since Day 1 but a bunch of people at my job started playing this week. Really surprising how relevant that game still is.
Indeed a level 40 player and been playing from day 1 too. Really annoyed that Niantic are still blocking the game!
Not sure I buy the perspective that Niatic is blocking anything. Just because Pokemon Go doesn't work with the yet-unreleased iOS 14, it doesn't necessarily equate to some sinister motive.
They have the ability to to turn an app off for versions of the OS. Initially PoGo worked on iOS14 and then they turned it off within 24 hours of the dev beta being released.
Exactly. Of course there is no sinister motive. Developers are under no obligation to update their apps to work with beta software as the underlying code can change with each release and their apps may then not function. People shouldn’t be using beta software if they’re worried about certain apps not working.
I never said there was any sinister motive. I did say that it had worked and they turned it off. Blinking annoying but not sinister
And yes I'm aware I can go back to iOS 13.x and play again on my phone..... Just that a lot people play the game adn Niantic are annoying us with their attitude ....

What do you mean “they turned it off”? I might be missing something here.
They can set which OS versions it is allowed to run under. So they originally likely had it set to >=OS13.x and changed it to <=13.x
From a developers point of view I think that makes absolute sense. Why waste resources updating an app on an ever-changing new operating system?
Normally I'd agree but they allowed it to run on iOS13.x when it was in beta ........
