iOS 14 Beta 8 Release Notes

New Features & Changes
New Issues
Remaining Issues

• Exposure notifications availability alerts greyed out as "location services turned off"
• Calendar widget removes events from display 15 minutes after they start, despite the event being scheduled for longer than 15 minutes.
• Shortcuts app fails to activate Airplay 2 (e.g. Sonos) devices when activated in Siri
• Refreshing App Store updates after updating apps causes the refresh to hang
• iTunes Store Genius page layout broken on iPhone
• App links in pdf or safari don't launch respective apps. They just open a new Safari tab. (This is even after fully performing factory reset). However, links correctly launch their respective apps on iOS 13.7. This is clearly a bug. Apps in question: Swiggy, Zomato

[Ferc Kast]

Download size is 91.3MB on my iPad Pro 12.9" 2020.

 

[dannyyankou]

The fact that the build ends with an “a” doesn’t necessarily mean this is the last beta, but based on history it’s more likely than not this is the last before the GM.

 

[metalsiren]

dam 90MB and thats all, must be close to GM

 

[devesh9]

115.8 mb on iPhone 11
82.3 mb on iPhone 6S

 

[chillip]

a build! Sweet!

 

[macintoshmac]

I like how since the last few betas they have started updating the dev portal so much faster.

 

[ediks]

im curious if they brought back the mirror front camera option which they removed for iPhone X or older for some reason

 

[iPhonNick]

Sweet, an a build. 81.9 MB on my SE 1st gen.

 

[Sal09]

[paulg1981]

New watch beta also

 

[jessebkr87]

The release notes have zero "Resolved Issues."

 

[iL15hts]

If my internet is as fast as bangladazed.

 

[christian.terra]

the preparing for update phase was 10x's faster than previous betas.

Man... the release notes, particularly known issues for widgets, barely budge.

I wonder if we still get the option to resize widgets on the home screen or whether this feature never makes it. Wouldn‘t be the first time they drop a known issue and forget about it.

 

[AeroZ]

OT. How to get the lock screen to show weather when alarm starts?

 

[Frehley]

Installing now...

 

[dbrewood]

Waiting on pb8..... 🙂

You have to set a bedtime schedule and it will wake you up with alarm and weather on the screen

Interesting. I’ve used bed time every day since ios 13 came out but never seen weather report.

Still can’t open apps until the folder opening animation has finished.
