Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of iOS 10.2 to Developers [Updated]

How about they fix the Music app to make it as useful as it used to be? Multiple taps to bring up menus that were once easily accessible? Lack of swipe to unlock? Artist label showing EVERY artist ever purchased from iTunes instead of showing ONLY those artists currently residing on the phone itself? How are these "features" intuitive or useful to anyone?

Now that the iPhone 7 speakers play in stereo when you hold it in landscape mode, it would be nice if the Music app itself supported landscape mode!

Perhaps that was meant as a reply to some other post rather than mine?

That said, while app makers can make decisions about what versions to support, there are some things that Apple influences, like, for example, when Xcode is used Apple makes updates so that when apps are created or updated then because of the updated version of Xcode the minimum supported iOS version can be higher than that which a developer might want to have. That said, as I recall, Apple still provides an ability to have the last compatible version available in the App Store for those who are on older versions of iOS, and I believe that it's up to the developer to make those versions still available (there won't be anything new in those or any fixes or any updates basically, and things might stop working here and there, so they might be pulled because of that).

As far as I know, you can still submit apps that run on iOS 6.0 (or 7.0 if you use SWIFT) as long as they are 64-bit. In fact, Apple's docs seem to suggest you can go back to iOS 4.3 (https://developer.apple.com/library...html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012582-CH28-SW21)

Seems to me Apple isn't doing anything that forces you to update your iOS in order to use Facebook. It's on Facebook to decide what iOS versions to support.
 
I'm on stable 10.1.1, My phone showed the battery usage before, but an error apparently triggers when you reboot your iPhone (pressing the power and volume down button) and since then my battery usage shows nothing. Is this fixed on 10.2 beta?

Doing a hard reset has always, always triggered battery data to be reset. Ever since iOS 1.

I don't think I've ever had this issue before. How to make it show up again then? btw, after a bit of forum search, this guy has the same problem too: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/battery-stats-gone-after-restart.2008804/#post-23769280. Any suggestions? Cheers

Reread the thread. That is doing a soft reset, what you are talking about is a hard reset. Its always been the case that a hard reset wipes battery stats.

Here is another thread. Its related to hard reboot vs soft reboot. But since iOS 10. All reboots, hard or soft wipes battery stats.

so how to make it show up again? I've definitely charged it until full, overnight, but it still shows nothing now.

The only way to make it show again is a charge to 100%. If the device turns off or re-springs, it will disappear again.

Well I definitely did that. But still, it shows nothing here.

Did you re-plug it in after the reboot? Even if its at 100% and the device reboots, the stats disappear. It must be plugged in again and then unplugged (if at 100%).

Yes, I've plugged and charged my phone until 100% since the last time I hard rebooted it, but I left it overnight so it could be my phone was acting up at night. I'll charge it til 100% when I'm at the office so I know what's going on.

So basically, charging til 100% after reboot should show the usage again, right?

Why are you constantly hard rebooting your device? You should only do that if there are issues. A normal reboot would suffice. But a normal reboot will clear the stats as well. Anytime the phone is turned off, you must charge it back to 100% before stats will start to show again.

In a recent discussion where this topic came up, seems like there were claims to suggest otherwise (as far as Apple and Xcode and all of that goes): https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...e-11-month-point.2016568/page-2#post-23960784

I didn't say I constantly hard rebooting my device. I got my new iPhone 7 Plus last week, and I think there's an issue with Orientation Lock (I locked it but it still goes landscape) that's why I hard rebooted it. Only once, that's it. And since then my battery usage shows nothing.

Based on your posts, you make it seem like its a regular basis. But with that being said, any reboot wipes the stats.

I'm seriously starting to hate Apple.. I was wondering why I couldn't make any phone calls from my Mac or iPad recently, I had to update to the latest version of iOS 10 for it to work and the feature to be present again. Not only that, but forcing me to update to download something like Facebook? Oh and did that update I HAD to do improve anything for me? Ha, it slowed me down even more and cut my battery life.. AGAIN! I would give up my freedom to knock Tim clean out, seriously.

I hate Apple, too. I was sitting at work just now and Tim Cook came in with some Apple employees and beat me up, dragged me to the Apple store, FORCED me to buy all of their ****** products, and then FORCED me to by a dongle so that I could use iMessage. Then they forced me to buy an LG display so that I could check email on my phone.

As long as we're making **** up, let's go hog wild.

Facebook crashes anyone?

not here. You should remove the app then add it back (if you really want it). The huge amt of cache data it has is probably your issue. You can see how much that is in general>storage and iCloud usage.
 
Oh yes, the worst release ever, how fond I think of it.
It broke bluetooth, it broke the music app, it even broke imessage and it broke so many apps which are not compatible anymore.

Biggest? Ha! Can't innovate anymore? That's not it either...

How about this slogan:
Can't produce stable code anymore while busy trying to cripple older models with updates.

OK this is weird ... I updated my 7 plus to beta 4 (14C84) yesterday via iTunes/IPSW as the OTA wasn't available ..... this morning I have a software update waiting on my phone to install 10.2 Beta 3!! WTF??

EDIT: Deleted the 10.2 B3 update from storage and hard rebooted. Notification badge on settings icon was still there but Software Update said 10.2 was up-to-date. After another reboot the notification badge went away.
