Guys, I realize this is a beta and we definitely don't usually point out bugs in betas, but this one is on a massive scale and it's pretty annoying. We had a lot of tweets from people wondering if it was just them, so I wanted to post to let people know that it's a well-known bug that appears to be impacting most if not all beta testers. I've asked Apple when we might expect a fix, and I'll update when I hear back.

“Pretty annoying”

There’s a fix for that. I think it’s called “don’t run betas”. Beta software is expected to be annoying. Yeah it’s a regression of sorts, again, that’s what happens in beta.
 



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, 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.

This needs
[doublepost=1535681281][/doublepost]This needs to be fixed ASAP, so annoying
 
I'm still running iOS 10. Wish I could turn off the pop ups nagging me to update to 11.... 😡
Install the tvOS beta profile and it stops the nag. Software update will say no update available. Search for it in google, use it on my 10.3.3 iPad Air no problems.

like every second now but i do love the beta program so i'll survive. i keep hoping there's another update
 
Yeap. many times a day... 😕
I don't care about the pop up. I hope the Bluetooth works well again in my cars. The connection is lost every time I stop the car. I have to turn off bluetooth and then reconnect for it to work...

You do realise that this version of iOS is in TESTING! Why is everyone complaining..you ALL signed on as Guinee Pigs...

Did you all read the Terms and Conditions?? It will have faults, options missing and may even lose access. It was YOUR risk to take and you've signed off on that.

Unfortunately this isn't just happening with the latest beta 9 of ios 12 because my wife is running ios 11.4.1 and she's receiving it as well. Hopefully they'll stop guessing what the issue is and resolve it....

Seeing it too. Seems to have only started a few hours ago, now it’s constant.
Yes, mine has been fine for a month or so, but just started this a few hours ago. Every couple minutes it pops. Whoever said plagued is to strong a word is plagued with benightedness
