Apple Releases Third Betas of iOS 18.2 and More With Genmoji, Image Playground and ChatGPT Integration
- Thread starter MacRumors

Image playground looks like something to fool around with for 10 minutes and then never use again. Not very useful and very limited.
Wahoo I'm excited to see what are the updates on this buggy app!
honestly, you aren't missing much. Gemmoji is a little fun, but image playground kind of sucks
When creating a Genmoji in messages it if I type “me drinking coffee “ it doesn’t work. I have to set it to my full first and last name. Any tips on getting it recognize my name as me ? Cheers
That’s because that version got only a wallpaper. Easy to install them eh? 😂🤣🤣🤣

Overview
The iOS & iPadOS 18.2 SDK provides support to develop apps for iPhone and iPad running iOS & iPadOS 18.2 beta 3. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 16.2, available from the Mac App Store. For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 16.2, see Xcode 16.2 Release Notes.AVFoundation
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: In Swift, iterating over AVCaptureSynchronizedDataCollection with a for-in loop causes a crash. (135132312)
ChatGPT Integration
Known Issues
- For devices with MDM profiles, users with anonymous restrictions are unable to sign out. (135440023)
Workaround: Use the ChatGPT restriction instead of the ChatGPT anonymous-only restriction. - Requests to generate images with ChatGPT in Writing Tools might fail. (138791595)
Find My
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: Play Sound and Precision Finding features of AirTags, AirPods and third-party Find My-enabled accessories might not work. (138283512)
Messages
Known Issues
- Messages might not appear in the Messages app. (138152993)
Workaround: Reboot the device.
Stickers
Known Issues
- Stickers might not appear in the Emoji keyboard or in the sticker sheet. The sticker sheet is accessed through the Stickers item in Messages or in various other places like Freeform and Markup. You’ll either see missing stickers or a message that states you do not have any stickers. (138790914)
Workaround: Use a numeric passcode instead of an alphanumeric one. Change to a numeric passcode, then restart your device.
SwiftUI
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: Compiling in the Swift 6 language mode might cause an @Entry error due to “static property defaultValue is not concurrency-safe because non-‘Sendable’ type”. (133885814)
- For apps compiled against iOS 18.2/visionOS 2.2 and run against iOS 18.0/visionOS 2.0, the popover modifier does not respect the arrowEdge argument on iOS, iPadOS, or visionOS, regardless of the deployment target of the app. Now, apps compiled against iOS 18.2/visionOS 2.2 and run against iOS 18.1/visionOS 2.1 and later do respect the arrowEdge argument. (135231043)
- Fixed: Views won’t accept dropped directories if UTType.directory or UTType.fileURL are not in the list of accepted content types for drop. (138158126)
UIWritingToolsCoordinator
Known Issues
- The two optional delegate methods intended for multiple container support are not available in iOS 18.2 Beta. (136619485)
- When the UIWritingToolsCoordinator state is Noninteractive, textual changes might be applied through the UITextInput Paste API, instead of through -writingToolsCoordinator:replaceRange:inContext
roposedText:reason:animationParameters:completion:. (136631598) - The delegate method -writingToolsCoordinator:requestsRangeInContextWithIdentifierForPoint:completion: does not support asynchronous use of the completion block. (136824869)
Workaround: For the correct behavior when a user taps on a proofreading suggestion, the completion block for the method must be executed inline. - UIWritingToolsCoordinator throws an exception if the delegate returns modified text in -writingToolsCoordinator:replaceRange:inContextroposedText:reason:animationParameters:completion:, when reason is Noninteractive. (138775662)
Workaround: Only return modified text when reason is Interactive. - The delegate receives more calls to -writingToolsCoordinator:selectRanges:inContext:completion: than necessary. (138868937)
- On Catalyst, if the delegate does not implement -isEditable as an @objc method, then Writing Tools will not apply changes to the text. (139031260)
- The UIWritingToolsCoordinator might quit Writing Tools if a user types in the InteractiveResting state or during operation of the previous/next revision buttons in the UI. (139196667)
- The UIWritingToolsCoordinator might request underline paths from the delegate at a time when they can’t be calculated. (139532897)
Workaround: The delegate must be arranged to send -updateForReflowedTextInContextWithIdentifier: to the writingToolsCoordinator when underline paths can be calculated. - Undo/redo grouping behavior is unpredictable when Writing Tools is active. (139533079)
Workaround: For proper undo/redo grouping behavior, the delegate must start the grouping when the UIWritingToolsCoordinator’s state changes to InteractiveStreaming and stop when the state changes away from InteractiveStreaming. When the undo/redo stack is popped, the delegate should notify the Writing Tools coordinator, using -updateRange:withText:reason:forContextWithIdentifier: and passing the UndoRedo reason for each item. When all the items in the group have popped, use the same method to notify the coordinator, passing a 0-length range and a 0-length attributedString along with Typing for the reason.
ActivityKit
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: Resolved an issue where iPhone and iPad apps on Apple Silicon Macs quit unexpectedly if ActivityKit is linked. (100240357)
Authentication Services
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: iPhone and iPad apps on Apple Silicon Macs might quit unexpectedly if -[ASAuthorizationController performAutoFillAssistedRequests] is invoked. (128153762)
ChatGPT Integration
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: Image and Document Q&A requests to ChatGPT via Siri might fail if the query doesn’t specify “photo” or “document”. (138352105)
Known Issues
- For devices with MDM profiles, users with anonymous restrictions are unable to sign out. (135440023)
Workaround: Use the ChatGPT restriction instead of the ChatGPT anonymous-only restriction.
NSWritingToolsCoordinator
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: NSWritingToolsCoordinator ignores the returned attributed string from writingToolsCoordinator(_:replaceRange:inContextroposedText:reason:animationParameters:completion. (139210266)
- Resolved an issue to properly name NSWritingToolsCoordinator-related enums inside an NSWritingToolsCoordinator extension in Swift-style: TextUpdateReason, State, TextReplacementReason, ContextScope, and TextAnimation. (139356801)
Known Issues
- NSWritingToolsCoordinator only supports synchronous NSWritingToolsCoordinator.Delegate interfaces, expecting the completion handler to be invoked without escaping the delegate methods. (136769777)
- The object does not support multiple NSWritingToolsCoordinatorContext elements, and supports only the first element used. Also, it does not support dynamic decorationContainerView. The two optional NSWritingToolsCoordinator.Delegate methods for multiple container support are never called. (137983691)
ScreenCaptureKit
New Features
- ScreenCaptureKit is available for Catalyst applications. Developers must use the macOS 15.2 SDK or later. (104444076) (FB11957714)
- The system picking experience now surfaces additional metadata for user selected content, including details on the display, application, and window. (133085308) (FB14629093)
SwiftUI

- Fixed: Views won’t accept dropped directories if UTType.directory or UTType.fileURL are not in the list of accepted content types for drop. (138158126)

- Installation of macOS Sequoia 15.2 Beta in VMs is not available. (137528160)
WidgetKit
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: iPhone and iPad apps on Apple Silicon Macs quit unexpectedly if Live Activities API in WidgetKit are linked. (107876557)
