Anyone who's running beta 1, can you test something for me, please? Here's my original post, which gives you the setup and info.. Basically, just need someone who is 1) running the beta, and 2) has a mDL on their watch (also on the beta) to see if you can access the "Card Details" of the mDL on the watch and see your personal information, or if it's still locked behind the dreaded "Unlock iPhone with Face ID" message.
I recently upgraded to the iPhone 17 Pro Max and encountered an issue with the California Mobile Driver's License (mDL) on my Apple Watch.
I've had my CA mDL on both my iPhone and Apple Watch without issues since California first supported it. However, after upgrading to the new phone, I had to re-add the mDL to my iPhone. Because the Apple Watch syncs the mDL from the paired iPhone, I had to delete and re-add the license on my watch as well.
The problem I'm facing now is:
- The mDL functions perfectly on my iPhone.
- On my Apple Watch, the mDL constantly prompts me to unlock my iPhone using Face ID to validate my identity. Despite repeatedly unlocking the iPhone, rebooting both devices, and even completely unpairing and restoring the watch, the watch still does not recognize the license as unlocked.
