Problem is fixed. Gone. Both on unlock and through notification center. Thank God.
The question is...is it only a fix or the update for next week some days earlier?
[doublepost=1535729395][/doublepost]iOS 12 Developer beta 12 is out!
iPhone and iPad users who have installed the current iOS 12 beta are being plagued with a continual popup that suggests a new iOS update is available when it's not.
Affected users are seeing the following message: "A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 12 beta." The problem is users receiving this message are running the most recent version of iOS and there is no additional software to update to.
Beta testers have been seeing this popup since the latest beta was released on August 27, but over the course of the last day, the popups have become much more frequent.
Many users are now seeing the popup every time an iPhone or iPad running the beta is unlocked or Notification Center is dismissed, and it is a popup that must be manually dismissed each and every time before an iOS device can be accessed.
Developer Guilherme Rambo has suggested that an error in the latest update causes the iOS beta to think that its expiration date is imminent, leading to the popup problem.
Complaints on Twitter and the MacRumors forums are picking up from users who are frustrated with having to continually dismiss the popup, and it's not clear when a fix will be available.

I've started playing a little game where I see how much I can do before the popup appears, since there's a small delay.
It's fun! But I'm glad the bugfix is out because it will have gotten old fairly soon.
This is horrendous, annoying and reflects a lack of attention to detail by Apple. I really hope they fix this before the long weekend.

you guys acting like it was shocking you like a taser each time it popped up.
The fix for the 11 bug is easy, delete the beta profile. then install 11.4.1 on your phone.
Thanks for the scolding dad. Again, if you don’t want to experience bugs, don’t install beta software. Doesn’t matter if it’s one away from the GM. There have been much worse bugs at this point in several previous versions. And if you are a legitimate dev (I’m skeptical) then you’d know to install beta software on a non-essential device and not whine about it in amateur forums that have zero effect since Apple and virtually all devs don’t read them. The more you know.
16 pages of complaints about this message. And it turns out there actually is a new iOS update available 
Yep, the update was released and it fixes the issue.16 pages of complaints about this message. And it turns out there actually is a new iOS update available
Nope. Not valid either. I draw the line at the point at which there is an official release.

The fact that you are an experienced developer makes your post even more bizarre. It’s a beta. End of story. When it is NOT a beta then your aspersions become validated. You accepted the terms and conditions when you installed the beta. Why did you do that ? You’re now contradicting your acceptance of the terms ? Bizarre

At least that way you preserve the day, and day of the week.
At least now the notification isn't lying anymore :/ It is resilient until the end
I learned one thing today: I check my notification center + date way more often than I had realized.
What to do:
- Updating to next (public) beta
- Enjoy the silence
- Remove the beta profile
- Switch over to the normal release in a few weeks automatically as soon as it is available.
(- Have the persistent red badge over settings as a reminder that could have been worse ;P)

The positive side of a Tesla pilot car that loses a wheel every time you start it up, is that you can drive along, somehow. Happy driving.
thank me later guys
Not even sure why I reply to this post, but hey, why not....
This is just slightly annoying instead of potentially injuring people like the Samsung Note did before, the choice is easily made, Apple wins.
