Two weeks passed already since the last beta?

Where the **** did the last two weeks go?

Why is time passing so fast?

**** my life.

I have to underclock the universe and make it run slower.

Someone please find me the CPU and jumper settings.

Yeah. I get that feeling. It is happening to me as well, for the last 3 or 4 years. I feel like I’m still living in… 2019? 2020? And in a few months, will be hitting 2023. Scary.
 

Accessibility​

Known Issues​

  • The pointer won’t behave correctly on the external display if the Assistive Touch accessibility feature is enabled. (92302190)
    Workaround: Disable it while using an external display.

CoreGraphics​

Deprecations​

  • To improve security, CGImageCreate enforces parameter correctness on macOS 13 Ventura, iOS 16, iPadOS 16, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16. Passing an incorrect CGImageByteOrderInfo is no longer supported, and will result in images failing to load. (94855401)

DeviceDiscoveryUI​

Resolved in iOS & iPadOS 16 beta 6​

  • Fixed: Devices running beta 4 or later aren’t backwards compatible with devices running earlier beta versions. (95233878)

Emoji​

Known Issues​

  • The search field for the emoji Lock Screen editor is missing. (88603664)

Home​

Known Issues​

  • The device that initiates the pairing needs to use the same iCloud account as the home hub. Only the owner of a home, not an invited user, can pair Matter accessories. (76012945)

iCloud​

Known Issues​

  • After purchasing a new domain and creating a custom email address, you might be offered to purchase the domain again. (93820872)
    Workaround: Tap Not Now if offered to purchase again.

Mail​

Known Issues​

  • Moving a Remind Me message to another mailbox doesn’t remove the Remind Me banner. (93671992)

Maps​

Deprecations​

Metal​

Known Issues​

  • When using the new Metal mesh shaders feature, render pipeline state objects (PSOs) created with a mesh shader stage but without a object shader stage can fail to compile or fail to work correctly on some devices. (89836551)
    Workaround: When creating render PSOs with a mesh shader stage, also include a (potentially trivial pass-through) object shader stage.

Deprecations​

  • The MTLResource.gpuHandle is deprecated. Use gpuResourceID instead, which functions as a replacement. (92862429)

Metal Offline Compiler​

Known Issues​

  • MetalFX effect outputs aren’t designed to be consumed by the CPU. Outputting to a texture that is read only by the CPU might result in synchronization issues. (91515075)
    Workaround: If a CPU reading of the MetalFX output is desired, instead of encoding the MetalFX effect as the last item in a command buffer, encode a dummy blit that consumes the MetalFX output texture (a 1-pixel region blit is fine) in the command buffer. After the command buffer with the dummy blit is finished, reading of the MetalFX effect output texture with CPU synchronizes correctly.
  • App Store TestFlight distribution of apps with Metal Offline Compiler GPU binaries fails and results in validation errors. (95140728)
    Workaround: Clients with source access can build app project locally.

Networking​

Deprecations​

  • FTP is deprecated for URLSession and related APIs. Please adopt modern secure networking protocols such as HTTPS. (92623659)

StoreKit​

Deprecations​

  • Deprecated the SKDownload API and removed the option to upload nonconsumable in-app purchase assets for Apple to host. In addition, support for managing these assets in App Store Connect is no longer available as of April 2022. (89764253)

SwiftUI​

Known Issues​

  • Providing actions to a navigationTitle modifier has been deprecated. Use the toolbarTitleActions() modifier or ToolbarTitleActions type in a toolbar modifier instead. (93658035)
  • Lists and tables might not clear their selection when exiting Edit Mode. (94093589)

UIKit​

Deprecations​

  • [UIViewController shouldAutorotate] has been deprecated is no longer supported. [UIViewController attemptRotationToDeviceOrientation]has been deprecated and replaced with [UIViewController setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations].
    Workaround: Apps relying on shouldAutorotate should reflect their preferences using the view controllers supportedInterfaceOrientations. If the supported orientations change, use `-[UIViewController setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterface

WeatherKit​

Known Issues​

  • When running in the simulator, WeatherService requests intermittently fail. (96101505)
    Workaround: Retry failed requests.

Previous beta my Netflix would NOT enter PIP so I can’t wait for this one. I miss watching a B cat film and reading the news simultaneously.

I hope not, these betas are still a mess lol.

Yeah I agree…… The iOS 16 basically worsened from prohibiting my Bluetooth amp to play back any music despite being connected, to a point in Beta 4 where it’ll literally just randomly disconnect AND quit the Music app once I play any Apple Music content.

It seemed to have gone away for beta 5 but for a problem that existed for multiple version of iOS to literally breaking features…… I’m pondering whether a “mess” is really enough to describe the roller coaster ride with the beta lol
 
Im really sorry buddy that youre hurting so much that you need to thumbs down someones message containing the latest build number.

One user at 9to5 wrote that even 3rd party widgets are now supported for the lockscreen?
Anybody able to test this and might have the luck to have a compatible app?
