AVFoundation

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: In Swift, iterating over AVCaptureSynchronizedDataCollection with a for-in loop causes a crash. (135132312)

Find My

Known Issues

  • Play Sound and Precision Finding features of AirTags, AirPods and third-party Find My-enabled accessories might not work. (138283512)
    Workaround: Enable the Location Services logging profile, which can be found in Profiles and Logs.

Messages

Known Issues

  • Messages might not appear in the Messages app. (138152993)
    Workaround: Reboot the device.

SwiftUI

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: Compiling in the Swift 6 language mode might cause an @Entry error due to “static property defaultValueis not concurrency-safe because non-‘Sendable’ type”. (133885814)
  • For apps compiled against iOS 18.2/visionOS 2.2 and run against iOS 18.0/visionOS 2.0, the popover modifier does not respect the arrowEdge argument on iOS, iPadOS, or visionOS, regardless of the deployment target of the app. Now, apps compiled against iOS 18.2/visionOS 2.2 and run against iOS 18.1/visionOS 2.1 and later do respect the arrowEdge argument. (135231043)

ActivityKit

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: Resolved an issue where iPhone and iPad apps on Apple Silicon Macs quit unexpectedly if ActivityKit is linked. (100240357)

Authentication Services

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: iPhone and iPad apps on Apple Silicon Macs might quit unexpectedly if -[ASAuthorizationController performAutoFillAssistedRequests] is invoked. (128153762)

ChatGPT Integration

Known Issues

  • For devices with MDM profiles, users with anonymous restrictions are unable to sign out. (135440023)
    Workaround: Use the ChatGPT restriction instead of the ChatGPT anonymous-only restriction.
  • Image and Document Q&A requests to ChatGPT via Siri might fail if the query doesn’t specify “photo” or “document”. (138352105)
    Workaround: With a photo or document on the screen, queries like “What can I cook with this?” or “What is the topic in this?” will fail. However, queries that specify the photo or document reference will succeed, such as “What can I cook with the fruit in this photo?” or “What is the topic in this document?”

NSWritingToolsCoordinator

Known Issues

  • The object does not support multiple NSWritingToolsCoordinatorContext elements, and supports only the first element used. (138594694)
  • NSWritingToolsCoordinator supports synchronous NSWritingToolsCoordinator.Delegate interfaces, expecting the completion handler to be invoked without escaping the delegate methods. (139210158)
  • NSWritingToolsCoordinator ignores the returned attributed string from writingToolsCoordinator(_:replaceRange:inContextroposedText:reason:animationParameters:completion. (139210266)

  • Resolved an issue to improve performance and CPU usage when scrolling ScrollViews and Lists. (137546908)

Virtualization
