Hi folks,
First - I'm not a developer.
Some time ago I came across Sequoia Beta and installed it thinking it was just a usage data collection thing.
I recently wanted to delete it because I suspected it was causing other issues, but was only offered to have updates stopped.
My MacBook Pro M2 still says I'm running Sequoia 15.3 (Beta 24D5034f).
I have another, maybe unrelated issue and posted a question about it on Apple Community but the question was deleted and I was pointed here because I mentioned the Beta!
This was my question:
I can FaceTime from the iPhone but when I try to FaceTime from the Mac, I get a notification on the Mac saying:
"iPhone calls not available. Your iPhone is not configured to allow calls using this Mac".
My iPhone is a 14Plus on iOS 18.2.1 (22C161).
I've tried the iPhone and Mac fixes suggested by Apple but no luck there - that was all about turning iMessages and FaceTime off or signing out for both devices, then power cycling both devices.
I don't understand how this is supposed to work.
Could my issue be related to the Beta?
If so, and in any case, how do I remove the Beta?
TIA

With the installation of IPad IOS 18.3 Beta 1 a few weeks ago all audio on my iPad has been disabled. This includes internal speakers and all external devices from Bluetooth and Airplay.
Today I installed a much anticipated 18.3 Beta 2 update hoping that the issues would be resolved as I had been following multiple posts about the audios issue on this site along with site as Reddit. Still no audio.
I don‘t understand how the developers rolled out with this update knowing that the biggest fix needed to be the audio. I honestly don’t see how 18.3 Beta 1 even made it out of the sandbox without someone discovering this issue.
Beta Update Feedback: iOS 18.3
The iOS 18.3 beta update has been a deeply frustrating experience due to numerous critical issues that severely impact the device's functionality. Below is a detailed report of the problems encountered:
All major social applications, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Photos, consistently crash. When launching these apps, the screen often turns dark before reverting to the home screen. This issue persists across other third-party and native apps, making the device unusable for basic tasks.
The system frequently hangs, failing to process basic operations effectively. Restarting the device is often the only temporary solution; however, even after multiple restarts, the issues remain unresolved.
Significant charging drops are observed, and the device intermittently fails to recognize the charger. Charging efficiency has drastically decreased, creating inconvenience for daily usage.
The Photos app is riddled with bugs, making it nearly impossible to use. Basic functions such as viewing, editing, or sharing photos do not work properly.
Every aspect of the update feels unstable, with issues cropping up in every corner of the system. The phone’s functionality has deteriorated, so it no longer performs as expected.
Device Affected: iPhone 13
Impact Level: Severe
This update has caused immense frustration and has made the iPhone 13 difficult.

After updating to macOS15.2beta, the Yolo11 object detection model exported to coreml outputs incorrect and abnormal bounding boxes.
It also doesn't work in iOS apps built on a 15.2 mac.
The same model worked fine on macOS14.1.
When training a Yolo11 custom model in Python, exporting it to coreml, and testing it in the preview tab of mlpackage on macOS15.2 and Xcode16.0, the above result is obtained.
I got 16 pro max and did restore from iCloud.

Any idea how to fix?
I attempted to reset the Watch SE, which is currently running 10.6.1 and enrolled in Beta updates. My iPhone is updated to 18.2, but the Watch app isn't showing any available updates.
I have a view controller that is hosing a WKWebView. My view controller overrides buildMenu(with builder: UIMenuBuilder), and prior to the beta, this was called reliably. However under 18.2 beta 4, it is not called at all, despite no code changes on my part.
Things I've tried:
Ensured that my responder chain is set up correctly.
Walked through the debugger via a symbolic breakpoint on [UIResponder buildMenuWithBuilder:] to understand that the web view is the last object to get a buildMenuWithBuilder message.
Any feedback or commiseration would be appreciated.
My MacBook Pro M2 is fast running out of space. The system data is currently 260 Gb. I'm using macOS Sequoia Beta 15.2. All my other data files are in total about 100Gb. I have already deleted cache files. I have also reinstalled the OS software. What else can I do to get my storage space back
Xcode crash report
Been enjoying the ios18 Beta. Wanted to provide something I noticed since upgrading to the Beta. When I stop an episode midway through and add the episode back to my queue, my phone now skips the episode as already played. So i either miss the rest of the episode, if I don’t catch it, or have to go back and reset it, to hear the partially finished episode. Hopefully this can be addressed in future updates! :)
Issues with the mail app notifications.

Since I installed a beta update recently I have had issues with my phone downloading the contacts to my Suzuki Swift.
Today I noticed that the Suzuki Connect App would not open up stating that my 2 month old iPhone 16 had been jailbroken whatever that might mean.
i have only ever installed apps from the App Store and updates notified by Apple so why is just this one App telling me my phone has been Jailbroken?
I contacted Suzuki and they have no idea what the problem might be so I’m hoping someone in the community might be able to help me get everything fixed or be able to tell me more about my issue.
How do I get out of the Apple Beta Developer Program? Stop receiving developer beta software updates, Can someone help me, please?
ps: Sorry for my English

We are experiencing thousands of crashes in our application when attempting to present the camera through a Web View. The app crashes during this process, and the crash logs point to
WebCore::AVVideoCaptureSource::create
WebCore::RealtimeMediaSourceCenter::getUserMediaDevices.
This issue has only been observed in iOS 18.2 beta versions (beta 1 - 22C5109p, beta 2 - 22C5125e, beta 3 - 22C5131e).
In iOS versions below 18.2, the functionality works and we haven't identified any correlation with specific device models. The problem seems to stem from a WebCore framework introduced in these beta releases 18.2.
We kindly request a review and fix for this issue in upcoming beta releases to restore functionality. Let us know if there are any workarounds or adjustments we can implement in the interim.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I have two thunderbolt LG 4K monitors. After upgrading to beta 3 the startup hangs half way through the progress bar. If I unplug one monitor the system starts up normally. Once up I can plug the second monitor in and all works as expected.
Prior to iOS 18.1, App-prefs:Wallpaper deeplinked to the wallpaper settings. On iOS 18.1, it now deeplinks to the settings app. Is there a new URL to deeplink to the Wallpaper settings?
The following URLs have been tested and do not work on iOS 18.1:
App-prefs:Wallpaper
App-prefs:wallpaper
App-prefs:root=wallpaper
App-prefs:root=Wallpaper
App-prefs:root=WALLPAPER
App-prefs:root=General&path=Wallpaper
prefs:root=Wallpaper
Hello. There seems to be a bug specifically in the iOS 18.2 (both Beta 1 and 2) and not seen in the previous versions.
The bug is: when LazyVGrid is nested inside NavigationStack and some elements of the LazyVGrid have animations, navigating into any nested view and then going back to the initial view with the LazyVGrid causes all animations to stop working.
Here is the example code inline:
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var count: Int = 0
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
LazyVGrid(
columns: Array(
repeating: GridItem(spacing: 0),
count: 1
),
alignment: .center,
spacing: 0
) {
VStack {
Text(String(count))
.font(.system(size: 100, weight: .black))
.contentTransition(.numericText())
.animation(.bouncy(duration: 1), value: count)
Button("Increment") {
count += 1
}
NavigationLink(destination: { Text("Test") }, label: { Text("Navigate") })
}
}
}
.padding()
}
}
Once you run the application on iOS 18.2 Beta (I've tried on a real device only), the steps to reproduce are:
Tap on the "Increment button"
You should see the number change with an animation
Tap on the "Navigate" button
Tap "Back" to go to the initial screen
Tap "Increment" again
The number changes without an animation
I can confirm that this affects not only .contentTransition() animation but any animation within the LazyVGrid, I've tested this in my real app.
Let me know if I can provide more details. Thank you!
I noticed that the ChatGPT is listed as an "Extension" in the Apple Intelligence settings on iOS 18.2 beta. Does this mean developers will be able to create their own extensions? Or will this be limited to larger companies to incorporate their own models into Apple Intelligence?
