Apple Seeds New Betas of iOS 16.1 and iPadOS 16.1 to Developers

Someone needs to get in their car and test this mother out

i just got finished testing out the backset of your mother's car

HALLELUJAH GPS IS FIXED! We can all get out of the house now 🙌🏼

Just tested it, and it’s finally working. Not taking my chances with the camera, though 😂

If I just downloaded the program on to my phone would it have just added this newest beta? Because I am not seeing the beta in my update software :(

Apple hasn’t released this beta to the public yet, so if you got the public beta profile you may have to wait until tomorrow.

Apple really needs to release it to the public same day though, if this fixes GPS and the permanently damaged camera.

Edit: Indeed, public is out!

This is why I really hope iOS 17.0 coming in 2023 is more a "bug fix" version like the Snow Leopard version of MacOS X.

[SPOILER="iPadOS 16 Beta 9 Release Notes"]
Apple Pay
Known Issues

* Tapping the payment summary might cause the Apple Pay session to close unexpectedly. (99938299)

CoreGraphics
Deprecations

* To improve security, CGImageCreate enforces parameter correctness on macOS 13 Ventura, iOS 16, iPadOS 16, watchOS 9, and tvOS 16. Passing an incorrect CGImageByteOrderInfo is no longer supported, and will result in images failing to load. (94855401)

DeviceDiscoveryUI
Known Issues

* Devices running beta 4 or later aren’t backwards compatible with devices running earlier beta versions. (95233878)

Emoji
Known Issues

* The search field for the emoji Lock Screen editor is missing. (88603664)

Home
Resolved in iOS 16.1 beta 2

* Fixed: To pair Matter accessories, a profile must first be installed on your device. (99832852)
* Fixed: Removing Apple Home from the Matter accessory Connected Services menu in Home doesn’t remove the accessory tile. (77681079)
* Fixed: You might be unable to pair a Matter accessory if the accessory is already paired to a third-party ecosystem. (99671133)

Known Issues

* You might receive an alert to turn on Wi-Fi when pairing a Matter accessory. (98460235)
Workaround: Ensure your device is connected to your Wi-Fi network.
* Adjusting the color or color temperature might result in an unexpected color set on a Matter accessory. (98578966)
* Accessory details might not open if a Matter accessory is unreachable. (99232316)
* You might be unable to pair using a Matter ECM code via the Matter Support Framework pairing API. (99232681)
Workaround: Use “More Options” in the QR code pairing flow to select the accessory you’d like to pair.
* Uncertified accessory notifications might appear when pairing Matter accessories. (99502842)
* The device that initiates the pairing needs to use the same iCloud account as the home hub. Only the owner of a home, not an invited user, can pair Matter accessories. (76012945)

Mail
Known Issues

* Moving a Remind Me message to another mailbox doesn’t remove the Remind Me banner. (93671992)

Memory Allocation
Known Issues

* The system memory allocator free operation zeroes out all deallocated blocks in iPadOS 16 beta or later. Invalid accesses to free memory might result in new crashes or corruption, including NULL-pointer dereferences and non-zero memory being returned from calloc. (97449075)

Maps
Deprecations

* Don’t use MKMapLandscape, MKStandardMapConfigurationMapMode, [MKMapView configuration], and [MKStandardMapConfiguration showsBuildings]. Use their functional equivalents MKMapElevationStyle ('https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkit/mkmapelevationstyle'), MKStandardMapConfiguration.EmphasisStyle ('https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkit/mkstandardmapconfiguration/emphasisstyle'), and preferredConfiguration ('https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkit/mkmapview/4010601-preferredconfiguration'), instead. Additionally, showsBuildings is now deprecated. (93449747)

Metal
Known Issues

* When using the new Metal mesh shaders feature, render pipeline state objects (PSOs) created with a mesh shader stage but without a object shader stage can fail to compile or fail to work correctly on some devices. (89836551)
Workaround: When creating render PSOs with a mesh shader stage, also include a (potentially trivial pass-through) object shader stage.

Deprecations

* The MTLResource.gpuHandle is deprecated. Use gpuResourceID ('https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/mtlaccelerationstructure/3974095-gpuresourceid') instead, which functions as a replacement. (92862429)

Metal Offline Compiler
Known Issues

* MetalFX effect outputs aren’t designed to be consumed by the CPU. Outputting to a texture that is read only by the CPU might result in synchronization issues. (91515075)
Workaround: If a CPU reading of the MetalFX output is desired, instead of encoding the MetalFX effect as the last item in a command buffer, encode a dummy blit that consumes the MetalFX output texture (a 1-pixel region blit is fine) in the command buffer. After the command buffer with the dummy blit is finished, reading of the MetalFX effect output texture with CPU synchronizes correctly.

Networking
Deprecations

* FTP is deprecated for URLSession and related APIs. Please adopt modern secure networking protocols such as HTTPS. (92623659)

StoreKit
Deprecations

* Deprecated the SKDownload API and removed the option to upload nonconsumable in-app purchase assets for Apple to host. In addition, support for managing these assets in App Store Connect is no longer available as of April 2022. (89764253)

SKAdNetwork
Resolved in iOS 16.1 beta 2

* Fixed: Postbacks might have an expectedly long time delay. (99637298)

SwiftUI
Known Issues

* Providing actions to a navigationTitle modifier has been deprecated. Use the toolbarTitleActions() modifier or ToolbarTitleActions type in a toolbar modifier instead. (93658035)
* Lists and tables might not clear their selection when exiting Edit Mode. (94093589)

UIKit
Deprecations

* [UIViewController shouldAutorotate] has been deprecated is no longer supported. [UIViewController attemptRotationToDeviceOrientation] has been deprecated and replaced with [UIViewController setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterfaceOrientations].
Workaround: Apps relying on shouldAutorotate should reflect their preferences using the view controllers supportedInterfaceOrientations. If the supported orientations change, use `-[UIViewController setNeedsUpdateOfSupportedInterface

Wallet
Known Issues

* American Express cards might need to be removed and re-added to Wallet after updating to iPadOS 16 beta 6 or later. (97990752)
