I think iOS 18.2 beta broke web views for flutter apps
The application I work on has a webview in it and I found after updating my iPad to the iOS 18.2 beta it no longer detects clicks properly. The same build works fine on other iOS devices not on the beta. When the webview refreshes it works normally until I interact with any other element of the application and then it stops recognizing click inputs. It can still scroll and zoom normally though. I've tested this against 2 different web view packages and different web pages and the issue is consistent. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Darkish line on Photos app. Not a hardware issue.
Hey, There's like this darkish line on my iPhone and iPad when I open the Photos app. This scared the ding dong out of me the first time I saw it but then I realized in was a software issue when it disappeared as I swiped up to close the app. It's really weird because it's extremely faint but I can't seem to catch it in screenshots. I know for a fact this is a software issue because it doesn't show up in any other apps. It also changes from horizontal to vertical depending on how I turn my iPhone. Can everyone please just check your own iPhone or iPad to make sure I'm not the only one? I'm on the 18.2 developer beta by the way. Thanks!

Issue on booting - "SODC report detected: AP watchdog expired"
Not sure if I am in the right place, directed here by apple support staff. On starting my MacBook Pro M3 Max this morning it went into a cycle of rebooting after about 1-2 mins. I managed to see the following error message "SODC report detected: AP watchdog expired" before the screen went totally black and the fans went to full speed. Any thoughts on this? Sequoia 15.2, no external drives or hardware plugged in. Thanks

IOS 18 BETA FEEDBACK
I have seen lots of complaints about the phone app and how things don’t run as smoothly, and stuff about the shade of the tapback feature icons. I personally have been struggling with replying now that I can’t just double tap. I also don’t like that when I pull down on a message, I can’t copy the messages anymore. I have to use Duo Mobile for school, and my mom will sometimes log in to help with my loan, and I have to have a code to log her in, it used to be easy to just pull down and copy but now have to go into messages. Very small inconveniences, and I will eventually be able to get used to them once they become habit, but I’d rather not have to adapt lol.

Network issues with MacOS Sequoia 15.2 Beta 3
I installed MacOS Sequoia 15.2 Beta 3 this morning. It worked fine till the afternoon but after that, I could no longer connect to the internet. I was able to join wifi networks and hotspots but it would just show no internet connection. Tried connecting via iPhone USB and LAN too but wasn't able to get it to work. Finally with no other option had to reinstall mac os. Gladly, the recovery tool installed the Beta 2. Learned my lesson, would never upgrade to developer beta ever again (at least not on my work laptop).

iPhone 15 Pro Magsafe Problem
I have a problem where my Anker 321 MagGo stopped charging my iPhone 15 Pro wirelessly. I can charge it via cable, but I can't use Magsafe. I think it can be about the IOS 18.2 Beta 2 update, but I'm not sure. Is there anyone have the same problem? Or do you have any suggestions for me?

StoreKit 2 failure on tvOS 18.2
Please help! I have a subscription IAP failing on tvOS 18.2 at: func makePurchase(_ product: Product) async throws { let result = try await product.purchase() //ERROR OCCURS HERE (See error message below) ... Xcode Console message: "Could not get confirmation scene ID for [insert my IAP id here]" The IAP subscription was working fine on 18.1 and earlier, and the same IAP and code is also running fine on iOS 18.2. The tvOS error on 18.2 happens both in production and sandbox. Are there any changes to StoreKit 2 which might cause this error?

Software
Here’s a suggestion: Apple should provide a feature for iPhone users to automatically log the specific time and date whenever they reset their phone. This log would allow users to easily track when resets occur. Additionally, Apple could enhance backup options by enabling users to restore any data lost during a reset. This might include automatic backups before each reset or a more intuitive process for recovering previously backed-up data.

Major update
Here are some reasons why Apple should consider an update to enhance message refreshing and chat sharing on WhatsApp, making it smoother across both iPhone and Android: Cross-Platform Compatibility • Problem: Right now, switching between iPhone and Android on WhatsApp can result in lost messages or complicated backup processes due to differences in operating systems and data formats. • Impact: A universal update allowing seamless message refresh and sharing would bridge the gap between iOS and Android. Users could switch devices without losing conversation history, making the experience more fluid and inclusive for both iPhone and Android users. Enhanced Data Security and Privacy • Problem: Many users rely on third-party methods to back up or transfer WhatsApp chats, which can pose privacy risks. • Solution: A unified system from Apple (and Android) could ensure that all backups and chat transfers are encrypted, keeping data private and secure, aligned with each platform’s commitment to data protection. • Impact: This would reduce security concerns for people using their devices for sensitive communications, such as business transactions or personal matters. Peace of Mind for Users • Problem: Many users worry about losing important messages when they upgrade their phones or change their operating systems. • Solution: An update that includes auto-refresh and universal chat-sharing across backups would make sure conversations and media are always accessible, no matter the device. • Impact: This peace of mind would lead to higher user satisfaction and reduce anxiety about data loss, enhancing WhatsApp’s reliability as a communication platform worldwide. Improved User Experience and Retention • Problem: The complexity of transferring chats between iOS and Android devices can push users to avoid switching or even consider alternatives to WhatsApp. • Solution: With a streamlined message and chat-sharing experience, users would find it easier to stay connected on WhatsApp, regardless of the device. • Impact: This could increase user retention and trust, making WhatsApp more indispensable as a global messaging platform. Greater Accessibility for Global Users • Problem: Many users globally use WhatsApp for family, work, and community connections, especially in areas where it is the primary communication tool. Losing messages or finding backup systems challenging can cause disruptions. • Solution: A message refresh and sharing update would support seamless transitions and backups, making WhatsApp more accessible and consistent. • Impact: This would support worldwide connectivity, especially in regions where WhatsApp is a lifeline for communication, fostering inclusivity and reducing digital barriers. Future-Proofing for Technological Advancements • Problem: As technology advances, the gap between iOS and Android compatibility could widen if not addressed now. • Solution: An update that includes flexible chat-sharing and message-refreshing capabilities would keep Apple and Android devices aligned and prepared for future features or communication needs. • Impact: This proactive approach ensures that WhatsApp remains relevant, adaptable, and future-ready for global users as both platforms evolve. Overall, this update could foster better communication, security, and user satisfaction worldwide. It would also help Apple and WhatsApp strengthen their roles as leaders in secure and universal messaging solutions.

Language Display Issue in iOS 18.2 Beta - iCloud Interface
Dear Apple Developer Team, After installing the iOS 18.2 Beta, I encountered a language inconsistency in the iCloud interface. Although my system language is set to Traditional Chinese, the iCloud section in Settings now displays in Simplified Chinese. This issue only affects the iCloud page, as other sections retain the correct language setting. I kindly request that you address this issue by providing a fix, either through an executable update or an upcoming Beta release. A timely solution would help improve the beta experience for users who rely on specific language settings. Thank you for your attention.

Ios 18.2 beta 2 - unable to pair Apple Watch - iPhone out of date Error
I'm unable to pair my Apple Watch Ultra (watch os 11.1 GA) onto Ios 18.2 beta 2 (had same issue with beta 1). I get a Phone out of date Error and was wondering if someone had a workaround. I tried backing up my phone, restoring on a 18.1 GA phone and tried to pair there (in hopes of later restoring backup on 18.2 b2) but I got the same error on 18.1 after the restore; I'm guessing somewhere in the backup it incorrectly restores the iOS version. I am able to pair watch on a non restored 18.1. HELP!
