iOS 11.4.1 Beta 1 ― Bug Fixes, Changes, and Improvements

[DaveOP]

Can someone clarify:

So we have a 4.1 beta but we’ll get 12 on Monday. How will this work? Once we upgrade to 12 on Monday who exactly is still testing the 4.1 beta when, if they release one, beta 2 would be considered a downgrade?

Mostly, the people who SHOULD be testing betas. Most app developers need to target iOS 11 until September sometime, for customer support and production issues. As fun as iOS 12 betas will be to test, actual app testing won't be very important until it hits at least beta 3-4. Until then, we have to continue to support and target iOS 11.

Hey quick question and mods feel free free to reorganize this to another place but just wondering:

All throughout iOS 11 both general software releases and public betas my G-Mail Account Keeps showing 16 unread emails. It goes away but keeps coming back and it’s very annoying.I’ve removed the account readded it marked all emails as unread marked them as read again and that still hasn’t worked. It’s specifically only my G-Mail account and it only started on iOS 11. My device has been restored as new as well. Anyone else run into this or have a fix for it? Thanks. I’ve considered removing it and downloading the G-Mail app as opposed to having it in the native mail app so it stops giving me false notifications but just wanted to run it by a bigger audience to see if anyone else saw it. Thanks!

Have you guys problems installing iOS developer profile ??? I deleted it to download iOS 11.4 official, and now it doesn't let me install it again

Same here, I guess we have to wait til iOS 12 beta so that Apple releases a new developer profile

I remembered there was an issue with Gmail fetch with Mail app but you can try this since it might be related to server this.

Looks like this beta fixed/removed the ability to get the new Pride watch face early when changing the phones date.

so is it normal for it to redownload 11.4 beta 6 first, then proceed to download 11.4.1 b1?

Is that what you had to do? Or are you just asking if that is necessary? Also, are you on the developer beta?

There are a couple of posts on the 2nd page that you got to check update as quick before the profile removes itself to get this update.

This only applies to people who deleted the dev profile. If you change the phones date, add the dev profile, reboot, and check for updates real quick you can get 11.4.1 before the dev profile is automatically deleted.

Im hopping off the beta train for a little bit. 11.4 is amazingly fast on my iPhone X and I’m enjoying it. I’ll hop back on next Monday for iOS 12 though.

Thanks for the update!

Hit or miss. I've seen one other person reporting that this worked for them, but I've been tinkering and while I can get the profile to install, it removes itself after a reboot.

Did the profile remain installed after a reboot? This is my current problem.

My profile was removed with a reboot as well but it did allow me to install ios 11.4.1 first. Not sure we'll need the profile after 11.4.1 beta since iOS 12 comes out Monday and that will require an entirely new profile.

This only applies to people who deleted the dev profile. If you change the phones date, add the dev profile, reboot, and check for updates real quick you can get 11.4.1 before the dev profile is automatically deleted.

It seems the way to resolve is to install profile and answer NO to the restart prompt (or later whichever it is). Then the profile appears in the profiles section. After that you can exit settings and reboot manually not using the prompt, and the profile stays put once its back up.

After a full charge, I used the device for 1 hour 9 mins of browsing and battery decreased only 5%. Battery seems solid.

No difference on my end. I spent about an hour trying different things, that included several times. The only way to “resolve” it is to just move quickly after the reboot.

Is there a reason why Airplay (2) does not play videos from the photo album? I recorded a video and it will only play on the screen, not to the updated Apple TV 4. Videos from elsewhere play fine.

 

[Banglazed]

Wow.whats your setup?

• Airplane mode with WiFi Calling excluding public hotspot
• WiFi Assist off
• Background refresh off
• AirDrop off
• Handoff off
• Still black wallpaper
• Location Services always on but all apps "While Using" only and under System Services - Significant location and below are off
• Mail app push off and fetch to manual since I use the official apps such as Gmail, Outlook etc
• Low Power mode when using navigation or games

It seems that the time goes back to automatic and resets to current date and time and perhaps that is when it gets removed. Mine disappeared again after the install.(and the date time reset to auto)

Still can’t Airplay a video in the photos album via the control panel but can start Airplay via the share option.

The room temps and signal status and quality would also be factors here, mind.

Oh, I stand corrected. Airplane mode!

Does anyone else have an issue since 11.4 beta 4 till now 11.4.1 beta 1 with Siri not listening at all on iPhone 7 Plus? Been bugging me for a while...

Currently Siri functions on CarPlay, iPad Air 2, 2013 MacBook Air, 2016 MacBook Pro w. TouchBar, and Watch Series 0.

But Siri refuses to listen almost like the microphone is off when I launch her from the home button.

I have tried turning her off and back on again, but still end up with the same results.

q-tip?

Seriously though, this looks like an odd bug, try the usual measures of resetting settings, restoring from IPSW, or the final measure of DFU install. I have, some years ago, had to reinstall via the DFU method twice to sort something out, so that can happen in rare cases for rare issues.

If anyone is using Pandora it will not work while using wi-fi. It is not the wi-fi as I am able to access pandora through macbook with no issues, so this seems to be related to the latest beta.

When I first tried with 1.4 final it hung with a "still buffering". Closed the app and restarted and it has been working fine since. (iPhone 8+)
