iMessage Contact Key Verification
New Features
- With iMessage Contact Key Verification, users can choose to further verify that they are messaging only with the people they intend. iMessage Contact Key Verification uses Key Transparency to enable automatic verification that the iMessage key distribution service returns device keys that have been logged to a verifiable and auditable map. When a user enables the feature, they will be notified about any validation errors directly in the Messages conversation transcript and Apple ID Settings.
For even higher security, iMessage Contact Key Verification users can compare a contact verification code in person, on FaceTime, or through another secure call. They can also choose to create or edit a contact and save a public key to turn on iMessage Contact Key Verification with that person.
All devices signed into your iCloud account must be on the minimum supported version of iOS 17.2 Beta, macOS 17.2 Beta, or watchOS 17.2 Beta. If you wish to keep using other devices on older versions of the OS, you will need to sign out of iMessage on these devices in order to enable contact key verification. (111356044)
Journaling Suggestions API
New Features
- Journaling Suggestions provides a visual picker interface for iPhone apps. The picker displays personal Moments that occur in someone’s life, such as their workouts and exercise, places they visit, a trip they take, a person they connect with, their photo memory highlights, Photos in their library, a song or podcast they listen to. Only suggestions explicitly added by the user will be shared with an app. If your app donates activities or interactions to SiriKit or CallKit or if someone authorizes your app to save data to HealthKit, some data might show up as part of Journaling Suggestions.

StoreKit Testing in Xcode
New Features
- New testing functionality to send Purchase Intents to apps using StoreKit Testing in Xcode from the Transaction Manager. (101034395)
SwiftUI
New Features
- Use _logChanges() to log causes of SwiftUI view updates.
Call the new debugging method _logChanges() in the body of a SwiftUI view to log information about why the system is updating the view. For example:
struct MyView: View {
var body: some View {
#if DEBUG
let _ = Self._logChanges()
#endif
// … rest of view body …
}
}
As well as the physical property names, “@self” marks that the view value itself has changed, and “@identity” marks that the identity of the view has changed (that is, that the persistent data associated with the view has been recycled for a new instance of the same type).
The new _logChanges() method is like the existing _printChanges() one, except that the new method uses the system console, which is useful in some debugging workflows.
Calls to _logChanges() log at the info level to the “com.apple.SwiftUI” subsystem with the category “Changed Body Properties”. (113352555)
Resolved Issues
- Fixed: Resolved a possible Swift access conflict crash that could occur with toolbar items. (113992797)
Known Issues
- To prevent unintentional implicit dependency cycles, ImageRenderer no longer sends Observable updates when the image it produces changes. This change does not affect the behavior when a depedency is explicitely declared by observing the ImageRenderer’s publisher. (116836341)
WidgetKit
Known Issues
- In widgets Text(_:style
does not animate its content by default. (107582710)
Workaround: To explicitly request an animation, use the View.contentTransition(_ modifier.
I saw that too and thought you've got to be kidding me. I live in a rural area where, unfortunately, only limited mobile broadband exists, and 6gb for anything is 'start the download and go mow the lawn' size hahaha. Don't get me started on XBOX game downloads either...
Does anyone know if AirPlay receiver works for any Apple device, or only to pair with Vision Pro? It looks like the AirPlay Receiver setting on macOS, even including the same sub-settings. I’m really hoping this will work between iPhone and iPad, that’s something I’ve been hoping for for the last couple years.
I don't know if it's the Sonoma update or the iOS update, but suddenly long-deleted iMessage conversations are reappearing every other day.
You’re still on the iOS 17.2 beta? If you’re talking about the latest 18.4 beta, that’s another thread, and you may get more help there. 👍🏻
