SDK notes for iOS/IpadOS 18.3 beta are meager

Genmoji​

Resolved Issues​

• Fixed: A personalized Genmoji might not generate without selecting a different person first. (139676076)

Writing Tools​

Resolved Issues​

• Fixed: For third-party apps adopting Writing Tools API on iOS, if the first responder is not a UIView, it will not be able to use the complete inline experience. (139833232)
