iOS 18 Beta 2

Release Date ― June 24, 2024
Build Number ― 22A5297f
Darwin Kernel Version ― 24.0.0: Sun Jun 16 20:49:29 PDT 2024; root:xnu-11215.0.115.502.1~1

iOS 18 Release Notes


New Features & Changes
  • iPhone Mirroring is now working on Macs running macOS Sequoia beta 2
  • iPhone Notifications now work on Macs running macOS Sequoia beta 2
  • RCS toggle available in Settings > Apps > Messages. Actual RCS support depends on your carrier. See this thread: RCS supported carriers
New Issues
Remaining Issues
Resolved Issues
  • Mail now handles events for marking iCloud mail as read, unread, or trashed from another device when Fetch New Data is set to “Push” in Settings (iOS ignored this up to around 13.2.1). Said events are fetched every few minutes, rather than pushed immediately. You might still notice a delay.
Additional Notes
To get the beta over-the-air:
  1. Enable Beta Updates (Settings > General > Software Updates > Beta Updates)
  2. Make sure you’re signed into the right Apple Account
  3. Select which beta you’d like to receive (public/developer beta)
  4. Hit "Back" and pull down to refresh
  5. Back up to a computer or to iCloud
  6. Install the beta
If you no longer wish to receive beta updates:
  1. Turn off the Beta Updates (you can also sign out of your Apple Account to reset this setting)
  2. Wait for the next public release or follow the guide below to go back to a release build
Troubleshooting: If the beta doesn’t show up on your phone, try turning on airplane mode, then turning it back off, or restart your device.

How to install using a Mac?
  1. You’ll need the Xcode beta itself or a MobileDevice.pkg somebody extracted from the beta (click with two fingers or control-click), then choose Show Package Contents. Go to Contents/Resources/Packages. - this will work on older Macs that do not support the latest macOS or Xcode betas)
  2. Back up to your Mac or to iCloud in case you need to go back to another version
  3. Hold down Option, then click on ‘Check for Update’/‘Restore iPhone...’ and select the IPSW file you downloaded from the Apple Developer site. Note: You must be connected to the internet to complete the restore.
  4. Enter your iPhone passcode if you’re prompted to do so.
Notes/Tips:
  • Always keep a backup in case you need to restore your phone
  • Restoring wipes your settings and all data on your iPhone
  • You only need to reinstall MobileDevice.pkg if your Mac stops recognizing your iPhone
  • There is no MobileDevice.pkg equivalent to iTunes for PC which would require a new iTunes to support new/beta iOS
  • Upgrading to a newer iPhone? You can update using your Mac before setting up the phone

TRying to update my 15 Pro MAx and just noticed im being hit with the System Storage bug.... 118GB in System Storage.... FML
Click to expand...

Unrelated, but I have been trying to solve this for a friend on iOS 17.5.1, to no avail. Tried all the tricks, nothing. He will have to restore... and he's not even on a beta. He has 110 GB in system storage.

Has anyone had a bug in beta 1 where photos get duplicated thousands of times? It’s been happening to me constantly and while I can deal with it and was prepped for beta bugs, I can’t find a single other soul who’s had the same which I find super weird lol. Hoping beta 2 fixes it
