[doublepost=1535696404][/doublepost]It’s a BETA. That’s what can happen in BETAS. The bugs are worked out etc.
Since this latest update I’m not only dealing with that pop up from hell update notification, but also while using the maps app my iPhone X will go dark and lock up. I’m having to drive, focus a good enough stare at the phone to unlock it or manually enter in my 6 digit passcode, extremely dangerous mind you, and close out that update pop up. I use maps or some other GPS app everyday for work and none of them are functioning properly. That or they’re working fine and it’s my phone shifting to standby that’s causing them to not function properly. This is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately!!!
It IS a plague! EVERY time I unlock my phone, answer a call or text, etc, I have to dismiss the box. Every time!!!!
As to this being a “beta”...yes it is, BUT, we are on what should be very close to GM release with Apple’s event less than 2 weeks away- which typically means iOS public update. Somebody dropped the bell big time.
It’s been happening for a few days, but tonight it’s happening very frequently and every time I unlock my phone. Someone said setting back the date and time works, and it does, but some apps will complain the date is wrong and won’t work until you set it back. Hopefully there’ll be a new update soon because it is getting annoying
If you use it for work and your and other’s safety on the road depends on it *do not install beta software*
This. Don’t get me wrong, it’s annoying and shouldn’t have made it into beta, but you shouldn’t be installing beta software if you absolutely depend on the device running it as your only phone.
This is still Bets Software. Not very sensible to use it on a device critical for your Work. And if you are not able to concentrate on driving, you should pull over to fix the problem, otherwise YOU are the safety issue for other Drivers.
People do love to complain these days, don't they? Sure you can say "it's a BETA, deal with it.." but that's been repeated a bunch of times already.
But why do people pretend like this is a massive bug? This is a simple bug that is darn easy to fix. Its not breaking anything, its purely about annoyance and nothing important at all.
People should really re-consider putting developer or public BETA's on their devices if they find and consider bugs like this one to be a complete disaster. This is peanuts in terms of bugs in pre-released software.
Of course it would be better if such things did not creep into the pre-released OS builds, but pretending and blowing this up like its a huge deal is pure nonsense.

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.
Complaints of beta software lol and yes I have it too, but when installed the beta I would know something like this could happen.who con’t live with these issue should not install betas.

Hope not until you understand the importance to be updatedI'm still running iOS 10. Wish I could turn off the pop ups nagging me to update to 11....
[doublepost=1535700566][/doublepost]Omg... is driving me crazy! Please someone fix it!
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.

Eh, I've had it with the sarcastic "It's a beta...." comments. WE. KNOW.
That doesn't make the issue any less annoying. Stop making tasteless comments and lame jokes in the name of trying to be cool because you're not complaining about the problem.
Pretty sure this and other issues from previous beta versions have been annoying, but they were fixed so we KNOW it will follow suit.
Stop harassing people for complaining about what they decide to do. with. their. own. device.
Besides, all feedback does is improve the GM version that much more.
