Annoying ios 8 Beta 5 bug

[AppleFan91]

Hey everyone,

I'm running Beta 5 on my iPhone 5S and the past 3 days I have been getting constant (like ~50x a day) pop ups asking me to log into iCloud. Anyone else having this problem? Obviously a bug, but it pops up twice everyone I go into safari, settings, App Store or messages. And randomly in other places. Reset and factory reset did not help.

It is a beta glitch. Even Beta 5 has them. Have you tried signing in when prompted?

Oh I am glad I am not the only one getting this.

They must be ramping up these changes for Beta 6 ?

Mine stopped after two entries. I have an identical device to yours.

Sadly yes and it hasn't solved it. Must be something with my Apple ID because it's on my iPad Air as well

I've got a 4S here - and it's bugging me and yes, PISSING me off.
If I type the password correctly in - <30 min, asking again.
If I click cancel, <2 min, asking again.
If I hop off WiFi (without 3G on as well), and then reconnect, within 30 sec, asking once again.
This would just keep happening and happening, even with reboots.
Guess we just gotta wait a few more days till beta 6 is out so it's fixed up.

Just started for me too.
Very frequent; tried signing in each time and eventually restored without success.
Went back to 7.1.2 with jailbreak until fixed.

i'm having this bug too (not immediately after updating to beta 5, but for about several days now)...

Mine started doing it yesterday for some unknown reason, it used to do it on B1 and then B2-B5 were fine until yesterday and now its almost constant.

I'm glad I'm not alone. Mine started in the last couple of days. Logging out then in, resetting settings and restoring phone doesn't help. This is driving me nuts.

It's especially annoying since I use strong passwords that aren't convenient to enter. That's partially solvable by keeping my iCloud password in the clipboard ready to paste.

I haven't started to see this issue until a day or two ago. It's annoying, but relatively trivial to deal with.

 

[PsykX]

Yes, we're all having the same issue.

It was not introduced in any of the iOS betas, but it was introduced server-side about 3-4 days ago. Maybe they're working on new ways to secure the login and whatnot, and beta 6 will have a proper way of talking to the server. It's just an idea though !

 

[boycomie]

Having the same issue here as well.... hope for a solution tomorrow at beta 6

 

[varsityhero]

Same issue here on my 5S.

 

[TurnerMartin]

Same issue on my 5s. Hope to see beta 6 tomorrow

 

[MarcusCarpenter]

Not seeing this bug at all

Im on an iPhone 5 and i haven't seen this yet, i have been using beta 5 for a week i think, no complaints.

The issue appears to have resolved for me.
Restored iOS 8 beta 5, and set up as new last night. So far no login prompts.
