Apple Seeds iOS 12 Golden Master to Developers and Public Beta Testers Ahead of September 17 Launch Date

[farleysmaster]

Incorrect. I am running beta 12 and I have an update. The GM removes a the feedback app as well as some other background stuff. Beta 12 is NOT the GM

The build number is different as well. It's dropped a '5' as well as an 'a'.

Here my experience with this so called, GM hahahahahahah Youtube app opens whenever it wants. A simple "squeeze" on the iPhone close to the dock opens iTunes...My iphone 6 Plus seems to be possessed by some malefic spirit of evil hahahahahahahahahahahaha

If its useful for anybody I found this page that puts the direct apple download links of the iOS 12 gm, this way is really faster than over the air https://ios.gadgethacks.com/how-to/download-install-ios-12-gm-golden-master-your-iphone-0187347/

Anyone with the (public) beta profile apple to get WatchOS5?

 

[eVasilis]

Wow 3x a day? I used to format windblows every week back in 2010.

Just kidding

Plan on installing this after work tonight. Looking forward to the influx of app updates that will be coming on Monday lol.

Just installed the new OS but the Siri Shortcuts App is still missing in the public beta

Well every single bug I reported against the iOS 12 beta’s are still present in the GM. What a poor show, most against Screen Time which is a headline new feature, didn’t anyone else test this? Or is it really not that important to them?

Examples
1. Bundle ID shown for some app names in screen time in different places, often but not always corrects if you go out and back in.
2. Screen Time widget overlays a message about setting up screen time on most views.
3. Changing a setting in screen time restrictions drops back two menus regularly.
4. Options to restrict non applicable services in screen time such as CarPlay for an iPad or mobile data for a non cellular iPad.
5. Temperature readings in Home now have a font size too small to easily read, plus temps show to one decimal place but rouded to point zero or pint five for no reason.

Sure they might be costmetic bugs but surely that’s easiest to fix?

Grrr. I love my iPhone and iOS but this seems a bit slap dash to me!

Three missing badges are never back (including the one special edition at the beginning of the month for the national park or something like that). They should not promote earning workout badges if they cannot get this s*it together.

Updated to 12.0 (16A366) on both my iPhone X and iPad and both still have the feedback app. Maybe it will be removed on Monday.

Remove the beta profile and it'll be gone.

 

[jst_testing]

Remove the beta profile and it'll be gone.

Was wondering about that too - saw the feedback app when I first updated to GM, then removed the profile and saw the feedback app gone.

Buttery smooth!

Geekbench scores are lower than when I was on 11.4

 

[GIZBUG]

Having run the betas, and now having the GM, I’m honestly ready for 12.1.........bring me something new already, already bored with 12 :/

 

[Gix1k]

Do I still need the profile?

 

[OlliFlamme]

Do I still need the profile?

I still had the beta profile running. The download was initiated manually, by just a impulsive check, while automatic updates were active... that might just be bogus feature in beta stage?

‘T was just a 10 min process here.

No siri shortcuts app included.

Search for Siri, and you will find it in the Preferences. Would that be a secondary interface, or is that it?

Same here! And an even more problematic issue is that it’s trivial to bypass screen time restrictions to play YouTube videos. My kids pointed that out and it’s still not fixed. Just open browser and play a YouTube video in the browser - make it full screen and it will play indefinitely.

Was shortcuts released in the gym? I am on the PB and I can’t find shortcuts.

"iOS 12 is a significant update "

No

Same here.

Single core has increased. But Multicore is circa 1500 points lower than some I am seeing on an iPhone X. Everythingapplepro got 10600 and another user is showing 10700. I'm at 9400 and the last two I ran have been 9100!

The single core always stays fine though. Going to nuke the phone (clean install) and see if that has any effect.

What is the GM build number? Thanks

What is the GM build number? Thanks

16A366

edit: That's for the X. Come to think of it I have no idea if it differs between devices.
