iOS 18 Bug -Certificate Trust Settings for Private Root Certificates Not Available

Importing an existing self- signed trusted root certificate no longer triggers option to trust cert in Settings / About / Certificate Trust Settings In iOS 18.

Cert installed manually from internal website, as email attachment, and using profile in Configurator all produce same result.

Same cert and processes work on iOS 16.7.10, iOS 17.6.1 and iPadOS 18.0

But not on iOS 18.0 nor beta iOS 18.1 beta5 on iPhone 16

Also tried regening a new test root on macOS Sonoma and installing using Configurator. No difference.

It’s broken - I’ve reported it by Feedback - it’s a vital security flaw.

Anyone else see this or have a workaround?

After upgrading to iOS 18.2 b4, I can finally see the missing certificates in the Certificate Trust Settings

Yep. That gels with my expectations based on the resolution I see for the bug. Thanks for checking!

Yeah, that’s a different, but obviously related issue. And so…
