Apple Seeds First Public Betas of iPadOS and iOS 13.1

This is frustrating. All of the iOS 13 betas on my iPad Pro 10.5 have been pretty buggy, including the latest 13.0 one. Just in that release, it's still super buggy, laggy, delayed, and hard to control when using slide over/gestures/split screen. Also when I use slide over, it's often that apps just appear gray and I can't interact with them at all. Notes has some bugs with the Apple Pencil tool box. It randomly changes to dark mode for a second. If I minimize it, and then maximize it, half of the tools are out of the range of the toolbox. OneNote does the same thing with its toolbar if it's in split screen.
I'm debating just switching back to iOS 12 on my iPad until the GM release since Apple seems to be done with the 13.0 betas. School has started back up, and the iPad is my main device for taking notes every day. I don't know if I can stand 2-3 more weeks of this bugginess, even though I'll really miss the new features for the time being.

Thanks, still it's on the side. There are a lot of other stories that would be better over there. Still feels like the Mac OS updates get the shaft. but thanks for the link
I have the issue with Messages you have on gen 1 12.9pro (grey) in slideovers. Have decided to wait to install on 2018 Pro.
I don't think that's accurate... 13.1 will likely be released a couple of weeks after. Why would they give a main release a X.X number
Anyone know where Communication Limits went?
I cannot find it anymore in Screen Time Settings..

I wasn't on it for more then maybe an hour, but mail was not working and 3 of my most used apps would instantly crash. I tried a few hard resets and reinstalls of the apps, but to no avail.
Still having battery issues... goes to 20% in just a few hours
sometimes when I open mail, the inbox listings go all the way up the page, over the All boxes and [date/time]
still getting double spaced text between words in Facebook when posting in communities...

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming iPadOS and iOS 13.1 update to developers, one day after surprising developers with the new beta.
Beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 13.1 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on an iOS device.
Is this right?
It was an easy downgrade if need be. I just downloaded the beta 13 ipsw and installed it. Normally I would have to then load a backup, but it just restored as if I never jumped to 13.1. It was weird.

You want to delete the profile so you don't stay on the beta path, if that is your goal.
Yeah maybe if they allow an actual arrow cursor rather than the stupid circle pad.
Yes.
There is no reason for Apple to have seeded developers 13.1 beta prior to any 13.0 GM, if there was ever going to be one.
Apple very routinely seeds the GM of a release followed shortly or even immediately by the first beta of the next release. They do not skip the line unless they are not going back. The scary part is that Apple now has to wrap up the GM of 13.1 by the original launch date of 13.0's GM, unless of course the entire release has been delayed...which given the fact that today is August 28th and no invite has gone out for the presumed September 10th event (also the date that the GM would be expected)...everything might be delayed now.
Note This is MY Personal opinion! For what apple is trying to do needs 3 new operating systems to work in sync perfectly and at the moment Catalina is going through stability and usability problems so it could be possible that they have diminished IOS 13 but are still struggling with Catalina. Hence they could be continuing to refine iOS 13 hence the surprise 13.1 release. Ultimately Apple are the only ones who really now what's going on, and there not saying anything at the moment.
This again? Really?
Apple doesn't lock down the GM of the annual x.0 release until the day before the iPhone announcement event, which means it is not being pre-installed on anything prior to then. Going by normal patterns, that means Apple would not be installing 13.0 on anything at any factory prior to September 10th. The phones don't leave the factory until 24-48 hours before launch day (probably Sept. 20), so they have plenty of time to install the GM. Normally.
But now that Apple has clearly stopped development of 13.0 and moved on to 13.1 more than 2 weeks before they would usually lock, that's a good indication that 13.0 is not happening at all. 13.1 is the new release candidate, likely because 13.0 was not going to be releasable, and something about 13.1 made them feel they could get where they needed to be sooner. Of course, here we are at Aug. 28th and haven't seen invite for the September event either. If we don't see one by Friday, it is pretty safe bet that everything is delayed, until 13.1 GM can be established.
We don't really know exactly what is going on, but I tell you confidently that the above bold is Not what is going on.
iOS 13.1 on XSMAX has been working swiftly for me so far since I updated to it 5 hours ago. Apps definitely launch faster, it is very noticeable!! Mail works fine for me, I use the built-in Mail app for my work emails. Battery life similar to 13 beta 8. My usual work apps worked fine for me, Skype, Line, Google Apps (Gmail, Maps, Drive, Calendar Keep, Photo, Assistant, Chrome, Authenticator), Zoom, Microsoft Apps, Whatsapp, Wechat, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn. All work great so far.
I definitely think 13.1 is okay if you think 13 beta 8 was ok.

I've always wondered how they load the OS onto the phones at the factory but final assembly probably started at the beginning of August. I always imagined that they already have a stable GM internally that's loaded well before it's official release. The GM typically launches to the public the week after the iPhone event and by then phones are already on UPS flights for the United States if we're looking at a delivery date one week after the pre-order. There's no way they load that thing onto 12 million phones (this is called wide-eyed optimism) in the few day before pre-order.
I'm on the iPadOS beta right now and considering what people have described here I'm really reluctant to let it upgrade to 13.1 and not sure if I'm gonna ride 13.0 into mid-September or hope for a more stable Beta 2 next week.
Why delete the profile? I’m looking right now at a screen where it asks to install 13.1. Seems like I can just NOT click “install now” and keep running iOS 13. Unless I’m missing something.
An interesting supposition, and while it’s certainly within the realm of what’s possible, it certainly doesn’t rule out other possibilities, like the one of iOS 13.0 still being released, as x.0 are usually released.
