New "Entry" Screen on MacOS
 
Notice the SDK notes, a lot less text then beta 3

General​

Known Issues​

  • Updating from iOS & iPadOS 18 beta 5 to iOS & iPadOS 18.1 beta 1 is not currently supported and will be available in a future iOS & iPadOS 18.1 beta. (133235636)

App Intents​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: Apps that support universal links might not open normally and instead open the browser when the user navigates to a URL provided by the OpenURLIntent or URLRepresentableIntent APIs. (133764689) (FB14784347)

Apple Intelligence​

New Features​

  • When using Apple Intelligence, the new Siri UI might fail to render full screen on large CarPlay displays. (131586542)

Camera Control​

Known Issues​

  • Installing an app with a Capture Extension while another Camera Control app is already selected might cause a momentary system crash. (135021680)

Files​

Known Issues​

  • Creating local files in the Files app fails in the visionOS 2 and iOS 18 simulators if the host is not upgraded to macOS Sequoia Beta. (132561244)

HealthKit​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: With the introduction of Swift 6 this year, developers who update their projects to use Swift 6 might have issues with their apps, which can lead to app crashes when executing a variety of HealthKit API calls. (131794283)

Lock Screen​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: When on Lock Screen, pulling down to invoke Spotlight does not work. (133404809)

Mail​

Known Issues​

  • Upgrading from iOS 18.0 beta 5 to iOS 18.1 beta might cause all Mail to redownload. (132930689)

Siri​

Known Issues​

  • Siri result snippets might appear in the wrong position. (135035793)

Spotlight​

Known Issues​

  • Icons in Spotlight might not match icons on the Home Screen. (134088480)

StoreKit​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: The transaction of a successful purchase on the default win-back offer redemption sheet might not appear on Transaction.updates sequence until the next app launch. (133575987)
  • Fixed: In StoreKit Testing in Xcode, the offer identifier in the subscription renewal info might be reported incorrectly for offer codes. (133774710)

SwiftUI​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: Scene restoration launches the incorrect scene. (132497400)
  • Fixed: In apps compiled against SDKs prior to iOS 18.0 and visionOS 2.0, explicit arrow edges are not respected when the app is run on iOS 18.1 or visionOS 2.1. Apps compiled against any macOS SDK will still have the arrow edge respected. (133295608)
  • On iOS 18.0, there is a known issue where passing nil to the .preferredColorScheme modifier, after the preferred color scheme is set by a different view in the hierarchy, does not trigger the system color scheme to change. Starting in iOS 18.1, when nil is passed to the .preferredColorScheme modifier, the view indicates no preference for the color scheme and thus uses the system color scheme.
    .preferredColorScheme(isDarkMode ? .dark : nil)

    The view with the above modifier applied prefers dark mode when isDarkMode is set to true but otherwise defers to the color scheme as determined by the system. (133689390) (FB14768320)
  • Fixed: Regardless of the deployment target of the app, the popover modifier now does not respect the arrowEdge argument on iOS, iPadOS, or visionOS for apps compiled against iOS 18.1/visionOS 2.1 and run against iOS 18.0/visionOS 2.0. Apps compiled against iOS 18.1/visionOS 2.1 and run against iOS 18.1/visionOS 2.1 do respect the arrowEdge argument. (135231043)
  • Now on iOS 18.1, tvOS 18.1 and visionOS 2.1, the View.navigationSplitViewColumnWidth modifier (all overloads) updates dynamically. Previously, the modifier would only be effective once, when applied at the same time the NavigationSplitView was created. If app code was modifying the values passed to navigationSplitViewColumnWidth after the split view was created or logical branches caused .navigationSplitViewColumnWidth to be active after creation, these values now affect column width. As a reminder, though not a changed behavior, on the aforementioned platforms both variants of navigationSplitViewColumnWidth have the same effect, since columns are not user-resizable. (135434989)

WidgetKit​

New Features​

  • A control’s default tint will be set to the App/ extension’s accent color, if a tint is not specified explicitly using the tint(_ modifier. If neither is specified, the control’s tint will be the default system blue tint. (131662481)

Known Issues​

  • Rectangular complications and Watch-specific custom Live Activity views use the wrong font metrics, causing title2 and title3 to render much larger than intended and largeTitle to render much smaller than intended. Additionally, custom Live Activity views use the wrong default font (SF Pro instead of SF Compact). (135831317)

AppKit​

Resolved Issues​

  • Resolved an issue where menu item keyboard shortcuts in the Services menu would take precedence over shortcuts for application menu items. (134539327)

Carbon​

Resolved Issues​

  • Resolved an issue where iBooks Author quits unexpectedly when clicking Charts or Widgets in the toolbar. (134693081)

DataDetection​

Resolved Issues​

  • Resolved an issue where iPhone and iPad apps on Apple Silicon Macs might quit unexpectedly if DataDetection API is used. (128080892)

Mobile Device Management​

New Features​

  • MDM profiles can use the new key ‘forceBypassScreenCaptureAlert’, which allows owners of managed devices to opt out of user notifications for content capture technologies. (131327961)

Quick Look​

Known Issues​

  • Back-deploying apps that link QuickLookUI to macOS 11 or earlier might crash. (133213738) (FB14667312)

Siri​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: Some of the buttons on the macOS Siri snippets might be unresponsive when using Siri through Voice. (133194038)

StoreKit​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: In StoreKit Testing in Xcode, the offer identifier in the subscription renewal info might be reported incorrectly for offer codes. (133774710)

SwiftUI​

Resolved Issues​

  • On iOS 18.0, there is a known issue where passing nil to the .preferredColorScheme modifier, after the preferred color scheme is set by a different view in the hierarchy, does not trigger the system color scheme to change. Starting in iOS 18.1, when nil is passed to the .preferredColorScheme modifier, the view indicates no preference for the color scheme and thus uses the system color scheme.
    .preferredColorScheme(isDarkMode ? .dark : nil)

    The view with the above modifier applied prefers dark mode when isDarkMode is set to true but otherwise defers to the color scheme as determined by the system. (133689390) (FB14768320)

System Integrity Protection​

Resolved Issues​

  • Fixed: Users might be incorrectly prompted when an app that is distributed through TestFlight attempts to access an application group container. (131606564) (FB14288230)

UIKit​

Resolved Issues​

  • Resolved an issue where iPhone and iPad apps on Apple Silicon Macs quit unexpectedly when loading UIReferenceLibraryViewController. (79135995) (FB9153775)

No, that’s not what I’m saying. If they released a version beta 3 for iPhone 16, and you think they’re going to release beta 4 today, then they would’ve released beta 3 for nothing because the phone isn’t even out yet. So my point is Apple released beta 3 for the iPhone 16 with the intention that it would be the most current beta when the iPhone 16 is in stores.

Are we expecting 18.1 to be on a weekly release schedule now that we're expecting final in October?

Anyone's guess, since it been 2 weeks, 2 weeks, 3 weeks with no PB, how can anyone suggest it will follow any predictable track record? It still involves devices with and without AI. Started July 29th and here we are Sept 17 only on beta 4. o_O
