[doublepost=1534201213][/doublepost]I had no issues on my X or my iPad - so far. My question is what happens when Beta 7!is re-released. Will Apple push any patches to those of us on the latest Beta build?
Beta testing means testing betas. Install on your daily driver at your own risk.
They're not insecure but there's always room for bugs.
However, this is not the case here. If that were the case, it would have been explicitly said or a beta wouldn't have been released, while a developer preview would most likely still stand. If you're willing to take that approach, it "could really mean" anything.
Had the same issues on iPhone 8 Plus immediately after installation. It was around 5-10 minutes that apps would hang/misbehave (grayed-out icons when trying to launch, freezing, etc.) but everything has been smooth since. I attributed it to heavy indexing as others have stated. Installed it on iPad (2018) and had zero issues. Perhaps those with beaucoup de apps are experiencing this for a longer period of time?
It’s almost like you installed an iOS beta or something.
A bug in the throttling code?!
This is one of those “funny because it’s probably true” statements!
Actually, it's a great sign. It's called a BETA TEST and they found a problem, removing the BETA. Exactly the way it's supposed to work.
They don’t care, they just enjoy whining and complaining about first world problems.
So this may sound like a stupid question. But I still have beta 7 installed on my phone. When they reintroduce the beta again. Will it prompt me to download beta 7 again?
It’s great to have experienced software engineers chiming in with their expert opinions.
It's called a BETA - By their very nature, BETA software has bugs. You're only supposed to use it for testing on devices you don't rely on.
For testing. Thus the name. BETA TEST

And IOS 12 is supposed to be faster on older phones? I sense an epic fail in the making.
Because a BETA TEST had problem. I sense someone who doesn't understand the concept.
Updated my X earlier today without issue. Everything is running fine. Came home to do the iPads and could find an update. Now I know why.
Just amazing how many people don't understand what a BETA test is
Just amazing how a trillion dollar company still releases heavy broken beta versions, and can’t manage to test/qc by theirselves.
I wouldnt give them too much credit. Probably found a flaw that was easily exploited & hackers could use to discover more tricks..
Thats probably more likely why they panic pulled it. You think they actually care about the users? Pfft the beta testers are even less likely to get any sympathy.
Yes, truly "ridiculous" that a developer beta would have stability issues.

You must be testing a different iOS 12 than the rest of us.
I suspect you're not the kind of person Apple would want in its beta program.
Amazing how many people don't know what a beta is.
Amazing how many people keeps defending Apple. In my opinion a trillion dollar company shall not depend of external beta feedback at all. They have enough money to setup an armada of paid testers, and simply just release final versions. But why invest if you can have testers for free. Their plan works out. This just reflects their greedy attitude, which also can be seen in their current bug bounty program. They should at least pay us for each non duplicated bug report.
