Apple today released iOS 8.0.1, an update that brings several bug fixes to iOS 8, the new operating system released to the public last week. The new version arrives as build 12A402 and can be downloaded via an over-the-air update.

The new update fixes an issue with HealthKit, which prevented apps that support HealthKit from being allowed in the App Store. The problem with HealthKit first came to light shortly before the public launch of iOS 8, and Apple opted to pull all HealthKit-enabled apps from the App Store until a fix was available. Following today's update, apps that take advantage of the HealthKit API will once again be accepted into the App Store.

As noted in yesterday's report on iOS 8.0.1, the update also fixes several other issues with third party keyboards, Reachability, Photo Library, and more.

Apple will likely be releasing a second update to iOS 8 in the coming weeks, in order to enable Apple Pay, its mobile payment service expected to be released to the public in October.

Forgot to add -No Cell Service

... and this is what happens when you don't push it to devs first and rush it out. There was nothing on the developer site indicating an update before it was pushed out live.

When will Apple learn not to rush things out?

Apparently it went to carriers for testing, which makes this all the more weird.

Touch ID works but ONLY using the MIDDLE FINGER!

iPhone 6 here with T-Mobile. Touch id and phone service doesn't work.

Think of it as a battery savings feature .

Forgot to add -No Cell Service

And, NO Touch ID

I am almost wondering if somebody made this update live to all users by mistake before final approval. Somebody is getting fired.

Tim Cook better be chewing ass right now. And whoever pulled the trigger on this should be fired.

I have not done the update on my 6+, so I will make your outgoing calls for $5 a call and for $10 I will give you my phone number so you can supply it to whoever needs to contact you and I will relay all messages.

What a great way to monetize this situation.

argh! i read this M.R. news release too laate. my 5s is currently installing the update now and i can't cancel it.

 

[MisterDisney]

I can confirm that I have no cell service and no touch I.D., after updating.

AT&T, iPhone 6.

Update this Apple Communities thread

Apparently no one at Apple owns an iPhone and tested this update out first. Well, now every iPhone has become an iPod.

They have 80,000 employees. You would think they could roll things like this out to them first to see if there are any problems.

 

[blackcrayon]

so no one knows if restarting it stops the download?

It does not. Turn off wifi.

 

[xboxphanatic]

Seems to be a problem with just the OTA update. I download the full 8.0.1 ipsw did an option click check for update pointing to that file and now I'm back up with service.

 

[Nautilus007]

Im shocked they didn't pull the switch on update servers...Think of how many people aren't on forums who would just update

 

[Redneck1089]

Do we have to do a full restore to downgrade?

If so, that takes ****ing forever! Thanks for wasting my time, Apple.

 

[mvmanolov]

So far I've only seen iPhone 6 and 6+ users complain about loss of Service and Touch ID. Is that correct? Anybody with a 5S or below lose service or does this issue only affect 6 users ?

testing on 5 now will report back

 

[HowieIsaacks]

Wtf!

Doesn't Apple TEST iOS updates before releasing them? This is horse*****.

 

[habuk]

Problems with iPhone 5? Anyone?
I've downloaded, but not installed.

 

[MikesGravity]

NOW WHAT DO I DO?? My phone is useless not on WIFI (AT&T) COME ON APPLE

 

[macs4nw]

Even Apple may not be able to solve the problem of a 200 pound butt pressing down on a piece of thin metal.

Exactly. Treat it with a little common sense and like the delicate electronic instrument it is, and I doubt you'll bend it.

 

[Madscotsman]

Need someone to confirm that this seems to only be isolated to OTA updates. Has anyone been successful in getting normal service after performing the update through iTunes?

 

[michael31986]

It does not. Turn off wifi.

can i let it download, but then not install and delete the download?

Think of it as a battery savings feature .

Fantastic. I am so glad I have not updated my iPhone yet.
