iOS & iPadOS Release

Notes
Update your apps to use new features, and test
your apps against API changes.

Overview
This version is intended exclusively for software developers to
test their apps and start adopting the new technologies in iOS.
Make sure to back up your device and install only on systems
you are prepared to erase if necessary.
Important Note for Thrill Seekers: If you’re interested in living
on the edge and trying out the great new features in iOS &
iPadOS 13, we strongly advise waiting for the many bug fixes
and refinements coming to the public beta later this month.
Important
Upgrade your iPhone to the newest available version of iOS 13
beta before upgrading any paired watches to watchOS 6 beta
or a newer version of watchOS 6 beta. (51366653)

12.9-inch (2nd generation or later), iPad Pro 11-inch, iPad
Pro 10.5-inch, iPad (5th generation or later), iPad Air (3rd
generation), iPad mini (5th generation), or iPod touch (7th
generation or later) is required. (51331268)
Resolved Issues
• Initiating a phone call using Siri from one device doesn’t
result in the call being routed to the other device.
(50792780)
• If an audio device disconnects unexpectedly during audio
sharing, it reconnects properly. (51037861)
• Adjusting the volume level during audio sharing behaves
as expected. (50967849)

• AVFoundation now supports encoding video with alpha
channels using HEVC. Videos encoded in this manner are
broadly supported in AVFoundation APIs, and by Safari
within web pages. Technical details of the format can be
found in the Interoperability Profile specification. (8045917)

Resolved Issues
• Long-form video apps that use the
AVInitialRouteSharingPolicy Info.plist key no longer exhibit
inconsistent AirPlay route suggestions. (50924593)

(51108267)
• A predictive text bar might appear unexpectedly when
reading certain books. (51584308)
• Books stored in iCloud Drive might take several minutes to
appear in your Library. (51435740, 50776390)
• After upgrading to iOS 13 beta, locally-downloaded cloud
items might move back to iCloud. (51306790)

• Books stored in iCloud Drive appear properly in Books.
(48685806)
CarPlay
Known Issues
• The garage door button might not appear in the CarPlay
Dashboard. (50275274)
• The map style for navigation apps might not change
dynamically between dark and light modes. (50986173)

Resolved Issues
• The state shown on the garage door button might be
incorrect when it first appears in the CarPlay Dashboard.
(49282265)
• Images within navigation apps display at the expected
size. (49380030)
• You can now swipe the Maps screen to return to the Home
screen. (50855855)
• iOS no longer displays a blank screen after using CarPlay.
(51164072)
• You don’t need to launch Maps before asking Siri for
directions. (50860819)

Core Haptics
Known Issues
• By default, haptics are disabled when microphone
recording begins. You can override this by setting the
AVAudioSession property
allowHapticsAndSystemSoundsDuringRecording to true
before activating its audio session. (25811898)
• Events — such as audioContinuous, hapticContinuous,
and audioCustom — can’t be resumed during the event; no
output occurs for that event, only for subsequent events.
 This applies to playback at a specific time offset, seeking,
and resuming. (29274583)
• When audio generated by Core Haptics is played using an
audio session category or mode that normally supports
Bluetooth or wired headphone output, no audio plays.
(29939183, 50905288)
• CHHapticDynamicParameter instances with nonzero
relative times that are sent as part of a
sendParameters(_:atTime:) call on a
CHHapticAdvancedPatternPlayer with the atTime
parameter set to 0.0 are incorrectly applied at the
beginning of the CHHapticPattern, instead of the expected
nonzero relative time. This doesn’t occur on a
CHHapticPatternPlayer. (46316890)
• Both vibrations generated through
AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(_:) and vibration patterns
generated through the user-created tap-to-vibrate UI are
attenuated when compared to prior versions of iOS.
(47448156)
• Parameter Curves are not supported with a
CHHapticAdvancedPatternPlayer, only a
CHHapticPatternPlayer. No error is generated when a
CHHapticPattern containing a Parameter Curve is passed
to a CHHapticAdvancedPatternPlayer. (47891515)
• Brief audio distortion occurs when starting a Playback
category app such as Music in the background. For
example, brief distortion occurs if you start the app from
Control Center while Core Haptics audio playback using a
playAndRecord audio session is already underway.
(48121467)
• Following any decompression to uncompressed floating-
point samples, the total limit on all audioCustom resources
per process is eight megabytes. (48659023)
• Multiple overlapping Parameter Curves for the same
CHHapticDynamicParameterID might result in playback
artifacts. (50026384)
• The default value for audioBrightnessControl should be 0,
not 1. (50310604)
• Creating a hapticContinuous event with an attackTime of
1.0, and then dynamically increasing the attack time by
1.0, causes erroneous behavior. The expected behavior is
the attack time should saturate at 1.0; therefore increasing
the attack on an event that already has maximum attack
(1.0) should have no effect. (50386282)
• The maximum duration for a hapticContinuous haptic event
is 30 seconds. Events exceeding this limit can be
constructed and accepted by CHHapticPatternPlayer, but
haptic playback will fade out after 30 seconds. (51322525)
Resolved Issues
• Starting a CHHapticPatternPlayer multiple times properly
restarts playback rather than stacking multiple playbacks
together. (50878861)

Core Image
New Features
• The init(imageURL:options:) and init(imageData:options:)
initializers no longer support RAW version 5 and earlier.
Version 6 and later remain supported. (50911303)
• Added new APIs for instantiating and modifying the built-in
Core Image filters.
• The CICoreMLModel filter is enhanced to support models
with an input or output of type MLFeatureType.multiArray.
• Metal CIKernel instances support arguments with arbitrarily
structured data.
• Metal CIKernel instances support returning a group of 2 ×
2 pixels.
• The integer values of CIFormat symbols, such as ARGB8,
have changed to a new set of values that are consistent
across platforms. The former values remain supported for
 backward compatibility; however, you should avoid
dependancies on specific numerical values.

Core Media
Known Issues
• Media services might unexpectedly quit with the message
“AVFoundation error AVErrorMediaServicesWereReset
-11819” when you play a low-latency HLS stream if the
network link doesn’t negotiate TCP ECN. (51690639)

Resolved Issues
• You no longer experience interruptions when attempting to
play Amazon Prime Video. (46791204)
• Support for low-latency HLS is now available in iOS &
iPadOS 13 beta. (51241703)

Core ML
Known Issues
• In the MLRecommender model, the exclude and restrict
parameters are required, but they should be optional. For
default behavior, pass in an empty list for restrict and the
list of query items for exclude. (50348777)

Device Management
Known Issues
• After completing User Enrollment you might be prompted
to reenter your Managed Apple ID credentials when
viewing account details in Settings > Passwords &
Accounts. (48605466)

• The Enterprise iCloud Drive will be inaccessible from
managed apps when the managed “Open-in” restriction is
enabled on a User Enrollment. (51016087)
Resolved Issues
• MDM servers no longer return a server error instead of a
license not found error when installing Volume Purchase
Program (VPP) apps without a license assigned.
(50905338)
• Upon User Enrollment, Notes show the proper data for the
enterprise account without needing to restart the device.
(49833240)
• MDM can install enterprise apps on Chinese devices
before the App Store is approved to use WLAN
connections. (50785136)
• Installing apps using MDM with purchase method set to
none doesn’t fail If the app isn’t already in the user’s
purchase history. (50909360)

Instead, drag app icons from the Dock. (49004339)
• Some items in Quick Action menus have unexpectedly
large icons. (50561570)
• When viewing widgets for the first time after restarting your
device, the Show More toggles might not appear until you
exit and reopen the widget view. (50966601)
Resolved Issues
• Tapping on a Continuity Handoff suggestion while the
suggested app is in the foreground results in the proper
Continuity Handoff suggestion. (47974821)
• The Files document popover on the Home screen expands
and scrolls correctly. (49087149)
• On the home screen, you can adjust playback volume
while a track is paused. (50389611)
• When using right-to-left languages, opening a folder from
the Home screen that contains multiple pages of apps
launches to the rightmost page, as expected. (50365467)
• While Airplane Mode is enabled, you’re no longer
prompted to turn Wi-Fi on even though it’s already on.
(51080243)
• When you drag content into Split View or Slide Over,
targetContentIdentifier and UISceneActivationConditions
predicates are used to select an appropriate window
scene. (50784657)
• If the Quick Action menu is invoked on an app that has a
badged icon, the badge doesn’t layer behind the icon until
the Quick Action menu is dismissed. (48374339)

iCloud
Known Issues
• The content of folders inside an iCloud Shared Folder
might not be available to other users viewing your shared
folder. (51591135)
• The iCloud Drive section in Settings > General > iPhone
Storage might inaccurately represent the current state of
files on your device. (50362095)
• Pages, Numbers, and Keynote documents in shared
folders can only be opened on macOS and iOS. iWork
documents in shared folders are currently unavailable from
iCloud.com. (50738067)
• When creating a new Pages, Numbers, or Keynote
document in a shared folder, you might see the message:
“Couldn’t connect to iCloud.” (50827963)

Workaround: Close and reopen the document.
• When manually initiating iCloud backup from Settings >
iCloud Account > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Back Up Now,
the progress bar doesn’t complete. However, this doesn’t
mean that the backup isn’t complete. Once the text below
the progress bar changes from “Backing Up” to “Updating
iCloud,” it indicates that the backup completed. However,
the iCloud sync doesn’t complete due an issue with notes
syncing with iCloud. Your notes might not be up to date on
iCloud compared to the notes on your device. (51030266)

Resolved Issues
• You don’t receive an error when trying to sign into iCloud
while attempting to restore from a backup. (49716545)

that’s different than your current location when a watch
running watchOS 6 beta is paired to your iPhone running
iOS 13 beta. (47399367)
• When sharing a trip ETA, the receiver might not see the
blue route line displayed on the map. (50904902)

Workaround: Tap to view the shared trip from the Maps

Set-Cookie header sent from a server results in the client
 failing to send a HTTP Cookie header in subsequent
requests. (47044416)

Deprecations
• Removed support for FTP and File URL schemes for Proxy
Automatic Configuration (PAC). HTTP and HTTPS are the
only supported URL schemes for PAC. This affects all PAC

instead of only once each time they reach the limit for an
app. (48773803)
• If you enable Share Across Devices, Screen Time settings
don’t sync with iCloud until your iOS device is restarted.
Any edits you make to your Screen Time settings on that
device before restarting are lost. (50194586)
Resolved Issues
• Messages, FaceTime, and Phone enforce Screen Time’s
Communication Limits. (50876617, 51055350, 51055448)

Siri
Known Issues
• When you edit an app's intent definition file and install the
app, changes aren’t immediately reflected in Shortcuts.
(46645833)

Workaround: Quit and relaunch Shortcuts after installing a
new version of the app, or build and run the intents
extension in Xcode, targeting the Shortcuts app.
• The supportsOnDeviceRecognition property always returns
false the first time it’s accessed. After a few seconds,
accessing it again returns the correct value. (47822242)
• To properly support Announce Messages with Siri in your
messaging app, add INSearchForMessagesIntentIdentifier
to your notification category. (50462393)
• Shortcuts opened on iOS & iPadOS 13 beta are
automatically upgraded and can no longer be opened on
iOS 12. If a device with iOS 12 and a device with iOS 13
share an iCloud account, shortcuts might become
unusable on the device running iOS 12. (50873839)

Workaround: Disable iCloud Sync between devices
running iOS & iPadOS 13 beta and devices running iOS
12.
• While using non-English languages, asking Siri to perform
actions related to Reminders or Messages might cause the

• Shortcuts added to Siri in iOS 12 appear as expected after
upgrading to iOS & iPadOS 13 beta. (50957532)
• You can create a reminder at a location that isn’t a labeled
address, such as the address labeled Home in your Me
card. (50487978)
• Shortcuts are available when using Siri on Apple Watch,
HomePod, and CarPlay. (50782908)
• Shortcuts synced to a device running iOS & iPadOS 13
beta from iOS 12 using iCloud Sync behave correctly.
(50557374)

SwiftUI
Known Issues
• Text in previews in Xcode might not switch to the correct
appearance in Dark Mode. (51486412)
• Return types for View modifier methods include complex
generic types. In a future release, these methods will
return simpler types. (46140669)
• The tabItemLabel(_:) modifier doesn’t accept
@ViewBuilder closures.

Workaround: Wrap the views you pass to the modifier in a
VStack:

MyView()
• .tabItemLabel(VStack {
• Image("resourceName")
• Text("Item")
• })
• 





 


• Image instances don’t use resizing information configured

in asset catalogs. Configure the size of an image using the
resizable(capInsets:resizingMode:) modifier instead.
(49114577)
• A ScrollView doesn’t always size itself as expected for its
content. (49204262)

• Some apps might be unable to backup or restore data to
iCloud Drive. (50784901)
• Dragging and dropping an NSUserActivity-backed drag
item currently doesn’t create a new scene.

Workaround: Set a URL on the drag item instead of using
NSUserActivity. (51418055)
• WhatsApp might quit unexpectedly when forwarding

UIKit
New Features
• The UITableViewCell class no longer changes the
backgroundColor or isOpaque properties of the
contentView and any of its subviews when cells become
highlighted or selected. If you are setting an opaque
backgroundColor on any subviews of the cell inside (and
including) the contentView, the appearance when the cell
becomes highlighted or selected might be affected. The
simplest way to resolve any issues with your subviews is to
ensure their backgroundColor is set to nil or clear, and their
opaque property is false. However, if needed you can
override the setHighlighted(_:animated:) and
setSelected(_:animated:) methods to manually change
these properties on your subviews when moving to or from
the highlighted and selected states. (13955336)
• Since iOS 8, using UISearchController with
UINavigationController has required setting the
definesPresentationContext property of the top view
controller to true. Failure to do so leads to subtle bugs that
can be hard to detect and debug. Starting in iOS & iPadOS
13 beta, if a view controller’s navigationItem has a non-nil
searchController, when the view controller is shown in a
navigation controller, UINavigationController automatically
sets that view controller’s definesPresentationContext
property to true. If you are targeting earlier versions of iOS,
 set this property before your search controller becomes
active. (31338934)
• The UIRefreshControl class no longer directly modifies the
contentInset of its scroll view. Instead, its adjustments to
the content inset will be incorporated into the scroll view’s
adjustedContentInset. The only exception is when the
scroll view’s contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior is set to
UIScrollView.ContentInsetAdjustmentBehavior.never, in
which case the UIRefreshControl instance will modify the
contentInset directly as it did in previous releases.

• If you implement self-sizing cells in a UITableView by
overriding sizeThatFits(_:) without using Auto Layout, the
height you return is interpreted as the desired height for
the contentView of the cell, and UITableViewCell
automatically adds any additional height needed to allow
room for the cell separator. If you implement manual self-
sizing this way, the cell’s contentView width is guaranteed
to be accurate for you to use in manual layout calculations
when sizeThatFits(_:) is called on the UITableViewCell.

• Trait environments, such as views and view controllers,
now have their traitCollection property populated with traits
during initialization. These initial traits represent a
prediction of the ultimate traits that the trait environment
will receive when it gets added to the hierarchy. Because
the traits that are populated during initialization are just a
prediction, they might differ from the traits that are received
once actually in the hierarchy. Therefore, when possible
you should wait to perform work that uses the
traitCollection until the view, or view controller’s view, has
moved into the hierarchy — meaning window returns a
non-nil value — so that you don’t have to throw away any
work done using the predicted traits if the actual traits are
different. The best time to use the traitCollection is during
 layout, such as inside layoutSubviews(),
viewWillLayoutSubviews(), or viewDidLayoutSubviews().
• The traitCollectionDidChange(_:) method is only called
when the value of a trait changes. Importantly, because the
trait collection is now initialized to a prediction of the
ultimate traits in the destination hierarchy, when the initial
predicted traits match the ultimate traits in the hierarchy,
traitCollectionDidChange(_:) will not be called when the
trait environment is added to the hierarchy. Because
traitCollectionDidChange(_:) is intended to be an
invalidation callback to notify you that one or more traits
changed, audit your existing implementations of this
method, as well as the UIContentContainer method
willTransition(to:with:), for places where you might have
been relying on it to trigger initial setup. The best place to
lazily perform work that uses the traitCollection is inside
one of the layoutSubviews methods discussed above, but
remember that these layout methods are called any time
layout occurs so be sure to avoid repeating work when you
don’t need to. (46818941)
• You can now enable debug logging to easily see when
traitCollectionDidChange(_:) or willTransition(to:with:) is
called on your own classes. Turn on the logging by using
the following launch argument: -
UITraitCollectionChangeLoggingEnabled YES. You might
want to temporarily disable the Main Thread Checker while
using this launch argument and running your app from
Xcode to avoid extra log messages for unrelated classes.

• The UITableViewCell class’s contentView property is
always laid out edge-to-edge with adjacent accessories,
both on the leading and the trailing side. This streamlines
the layout code so developers who want the correct default
offset no longer have to align their content with the content
view border or the layout margin depending on whether
there is an accessory on the trailing side or not. You should
 now always lay out their code on the layout margins of the
cell’s content view to get the default system insets. These
insets will be adjusted automatically based on the
accessories visible in the cell to match the system’s default
spacing. (48214114)
• You can now invoke a custom initializer from a creation
block that’s passed through
instantiateInitialViewController(creator:) or
instantiateViewController(identifier:creator:). This makes it
possible for you to initialize view controllers with additional
context and arguments, while taking advantage of defining
them in a storyboard through Interface Builder. A custom
controller initializer must call its super.init(coder:) method
and pass the coder argument that it receives through the
creation block. (48313869)

Known Issues
• Calls to SKProductsRequest might fail in the simulator.
Instead, test on a device. (50875951)
• When running your app from Xcode, you might see
console errors about UIKit classes that override the
traitCollection getter. You can safely ignore these
messages for system classes. If you see this error
message for your own classes, it likely indicates a real
issue for you to fix. (51651561)
