Apple Releases First Beta of iOS 11 to Public Beta Testers

[DaveMcM76]

Yes it is. It seems to work off and on

I've seen this on my iPad Air 2 using an MFI certified Anker lightning cable and the official iPad 10W charger.

If I plug the cable into the charger then every so often I'll get a spate of Accessory Not Supported messages - unplugging and replugging the cable a few (sometimes many!) times seems to eventually fix this and allow it to charge.

If I use the exact same cable plugged into one of the USB ports on my MacBook Pro then it charges perfectly every time so it's almost as if it is the charger that it isn't recognising rather than the cable. It is all very odd.

3D Touch on Screen Recording button brings ups microphone off/on option.

Thanks for that! Idk why I didn’t think to try 3D Touch!!

Just installed the PB on my 7 last night. Overall everything feels pretty smooth, with some minor bugs. But nothing really that hinders me from using the device on a daily basis.

Judging from the posts I was anticipating installing the PB, using the device for an hour and then going back to iOS 10. But I'll stay on the PB for now. I am keeping my SE and iPad Mini 4 on iOS 10 until the fall.

Has anyone noticed you can't control night shift within control center? I don't know if that's a bug or is intentional.

Also, battery doesn't seem too terrible either. But again, this is my first full day using my 7 on the PB.

Again, for those who don’t know how Betas work…there WILL be bugs. That’s why it’s called a Beta. Before the Beta, was Alpha. Which is when they were wire framing the UI. Public Betas are Apple’s way of getting a larger test market of the OS, aside from their team of ~30 developers in Cupertino, and to get feedback from them. Public Betas aren’t code for “early way to update the new, upcoming OS”.

I’m having that problem too. Something I’ve definitely reported and encourage you do the same.

I submitted feedback yesterday.

 

[celaurie]

Yes. Oddly I have figured out it’s a weird glitch. If I re-plug into the wall it works. Strange

Is it worth getting the connection checked at an Apple Store?

Try different plug/cable combination?

Has there been a good way to clean install iOS11 PB? In years passed there hasn't been but wondering if a way has been provided.

So, I fixed the issue I had uploading to iCloud Drive. Moving iCloud Drive to the top of the list in Files seems to have fixed it.

I’m still running into issues cutting and pasting into fields. I can’t copy a link and use the link button on MR to paste the link. I also couldn’t paste a wifi password into Settings last night.

I've downloaded the Public Beta and I'm really impressed. It's actually very stable. Only had iMessages crash once so far when trying to swipe up with the new placement of the stickers - but it seemed to repair itself and hasn't repeated the crash again. Document scan works perfectly - even from an angle - really useful tool for businessmen. Can't wait to play with High Sierra.

 

[blacktape242]

I should have waited to do this, its as expected, really buggy for me.

 

[Meltdownblitz]

iOS 11 public beta is very stable. There is a few bugs and crashes here and there but nothing crazy where it would affect you using it on your daily device.

For those having issues with Apple Watch not connecting after installation, did you unpair your watch and then repair it to the phone? Did that solve the issue? I’ve done hard resets on both the watch and the phone multiple times, with no luck.

Mine shows it’s not connected but it actually is.

 

[bunnicula]

To fix this forget wifi network and setup wifi again. Worked for me

Excellent! I'll give it a whirl.

 

[IndianBird]

Figured out night shift is in the control center if you 3D Touch the brightness.

 

[danipersing]

I was getting notifications last night, but not today. And, my health data stopped syncing last night after I updated.

 

[Floris]

Updated on my 9.7” air 2. Continually getting the message accessory not supported when charging. Aargh

Many many ios11 air2 people have this issue, it's an annoying bug, hopefully fixed in beta 3. keep using the feedback app to report issues like this

 

[Sneakerp]

Just updated to ios11 beta. It was recommend to do a hard reset after, right?

Thank you. That makes me feel better

 

[Floris]

Thank you. That makes me feel better

A work around is to just connect it, let the msg come up, dismiss it, unplug the thing from the wall and plug it back in the wall .. it will then show as charging.

Press and hold the brightness control in Control Center. The night shift switch will be at the bottom.

I thought the charging seemed a little faster in iOS11.

 

[ErikGrim]

Seems like having a Hermes Apple Watch exempts you from public beta testing . Anyone else seeing the same issue?

You installed an iOS Beta Software Profile on your watch. You need the watchOS one

For the record there is no public beta for watchOS.

 

[LarrySmith]

Go back and look again.

I used it, there are changes but nothing worthwhile to use a beta on the iPhone. I'll upgrade day one when it goes gold of course. For iPad though, I've got iOS 11 PB1 on there.

 

[LestâtMayfair]

Mine shows it’s not connected but it actually is.

Same here.
[doublepost=1498701642][/doublepost]

Ahhh.

I had several seconds of video when I posted. Now the app has returned to crashing.

This is the reason I only put 11 on my iPad and not my phone. I watch DTVNow on the road religiously through ATT Unlimited Plus data.

Hope the issue is fixed before I head to DC for the fourth. Lots of commuting time there and I would like to use the iPad and DTVNow.

Yes, it sucks, it’s not working on iPhone 7s either, thank goodness I can sign in to all the 3rd party TV apps until it’s fixed.

 

[danipersing]

Same here.

Is your activity showing up/updating in the activity app? Mine isn’t… and I only get notifications at home, on my home wi-fi. When I was at work, my watch actually displayed the “disconnected” icon at the top all day.
