iOS 18 - Working and Non-working apps thread

[ger19]

The Pandora app is not working correctly with CarPlay. The recent stations tab is not working as it used to. You can still get music but it's frustrating to not have the "recents" tab work correctly. The app works fine on its own. It's only the CarPlay functionality that is only partially working.

Haven't seen it mentioned, but I am having issues with AdGuard VPN disconnecting and preventing the mail app from updating inboxes. I have the kill switch off.

Anyone else experiencing this, before I add to not working list?

My situation is just slightly different, but may be related. I have several email accounts, one of which is IMAP. That account is not fetching new emails since I updated my iPad to IOS 18.01. With 18.1 it is still not working. I did not update my iPhone and on 17.7 the IMAP account is working properly, as it is on my MAC. There is a thread in the Apply Support Community on this subject and it is voluminous! Apple Support Community Thread

We need an IOS 18.2 Beta thread.
HondaLink will not work at all - Thinks the phone is jailbroken
Panera Bread - CarPlay is busted, usable on the phone

Same experience with HondaLink - I think it started acting up on 18.2 Beta2.

I am on the latest beta and purchase notifications do not work for Wells Fargo even after deleting and reinstalling the app. Anyone else?

HondaLink app was updated and now works with the betas.
Panera is still busted with Carplay.

Attention Abbott LibreLink users.
A Bluetooth connection gets broken in iOS 18.2 (22C152) and LibreLink 2.12.0.8319, resulting in persistent “Loss of Signal” message.

After starting up a new sensor it does not appear in the connected Bluetooth devices list. The NFS scans still work, yet automatic scanning once every 60 seconds stops.

Abbott are aware of the issue and direct people to their compatible software-hardware notice, which lists iOS 17.5 and iPhone 15 as the latest approved combos, yet it all worked fine with iOS 18 just a week ago before respective iOS and LibreLink app updates.

Update: While Abbott are working on a fix, I found an excellent app that works wonders with Libre sensors - Shuggah!

So unacceptable. They had access to the Beta for months prior. There is no excuse for this. Apple also provides Abbott and several other medical related product companies access to new hardware prior to release as well. This is just an example of a company that makes a product, then just sits back to make money on it and doesn't want to actually put time or money into maintaining it.

Agreed, besides their recent LibreLink app update does not seem to have any visible changes. It does lose Bluetooth though.

I am trying to convince Abbott to quickly roll their app to the previous version, that worked properly, a la Sonos. 😋

However, the front desk service reps are just passive listeners so they promised to escalate it to the software dept. In the meantime they suggested I could roll back iOS to their latest tested version (iOS 17.5, LOL).

That Abbott disaster actually made me find a great app that works with Libre sensors (can actually pull the data from them). Check out Shuggah! It supports widgets, Dynamic Island, Home Screen Live Activities and can even create Apple calendar events, so you can see your sugar levels in CarPlay. Amazing!
