iOS & iPadOS Beta 7

Release Notes
Overview
The iOS & iPadOS 13 SDK provides support for developing
apps for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices running iOS &
iPadOS 13. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 11 beta
available from Beta Software Downloads. For information on
the compatibility requirements for Xcode 11, see Xcode 11 Beta
5 Release Notes. Xcode 11 Beta
Warning
If your watch is running watchOS 6 beta, you must update it to
watchOS 6 beta 2 or later before updating to iOS 13 beta 7,
otherwise your watch will no longer be able to connect to your
phone. (52854192)
General
Known Issues
• Snapshots for apps that use Metal might have an
unexpected appearance in the App Switcher. (53121694)
Deprecations
• The UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend key is no longer
supported in iOS & iPadOS 13. Update your apps to
handle modern multitasking. (43958234)

Audio
New Features
• Voice Processing mode can now be enabled on
AVAudioEngine. (50906329)
• New AVAudioNode types can be used to wrap a user-
defined block for sending or receiving data in real time.
• A new method is available for an AVAudioEngine-based
app to retrieve a list of all nodes attached to an
AVAudioEngine instance.
• A new rendering mode in AVAudioEnvironmentNode
selects the best spatial audio rendering algorithm
automatically based on the output device.
• A new AVAudioSession property allows system sounds and
haptics to play while the session actively uses audio input.
• A new enumeration, AVAudioSession.PromptStyle, informs
apps which style of voice prompt they should play based
on other audio activity in the system.
• AVAudioSession.RouteSharingPolicy now permits apps to
specify route-sharing policies so their audio and video
routes to the same location as AirPlay.
• Audio Unit Extensions now support user presets that are
available across all host applications.

Deprecations
• The OpenAL framework is deprecated and remains
present for compatibility purposes. Transition to
AVAudioEngine for spatial audio functionality.
• AUGraph is deprecated in favor of AVAudioEngine.
• Inter-App audio is deprecated. Use Audio Units for this
functionality moving forward.
• Carbon component-based Audio Units are deprecated and
support will be removed in a future release.
• Legacy Core Audio HAL audio hardware plug-ins are no
longer supported. Use audio server plug-ins for audio
drivers moving forward.

Audio Sharing
New Features
• Audio sharing is compatible with AirPods (1st generation or
later) and PowerBeats Pro. iPhone 8 or later, iPad Pro
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)
AVFoundation
New Features
• 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)

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)
• 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
CHHapticDynamicParameter.ID might result in playback
artifacts. (50026384)
• 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)
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.

Find My
Known Issues
• When performing an action in Find My that generates an
email, you might see references to the Find My Friends
and Find My iPhone apps. (51123613)
• While iOS & iPadOS 13 remains in beta, offline-finding
capability is limited.

Resolved Issues
• The “Notify when found” feature is now available.
• Apple Pay cards no longer remain suspended after a
device exits Lost Mode.

iCloud
Known Issues
• After updating to iOS 13 beta 6 or later, iCloud Drive might
synchronize for an extended period of time. If you notice
any missing files, they can be found in a Recovered Files
folder under On My iPhone/iPad within the Files app.
(53772753)
• The iCloud Drive section in Settings > General > iPhone
Storage might inaccurately represent the current state of
files on your device. (50362095)
• 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.

Localization
Known Issues
• Devices set to use certain languages might exhibit clipped
or misaligned layout. (51068688)
• Devices set to use certain languages might display
unlocalized text. (47765173, 51197936, 51270878)

Mail
New Features
• Ignore Blocked Senders can now be enabled in Settings >
Mail. The blocked contacts list is shared with Messages,
FaceTime, and Phone. (50775961)
Resolved Issues
• The buttons located below the search field used to narrow
your search results work as expected. (53808836)

Networking
New Features
• To enhance security, URLSession no longer sniffs the
MIME type when the server sends Content-Type:
application/octet-stream. (7820658)
• NSURLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadRevalidatingCacheDat
a and
NSURLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadIgnoringLocalAndRem
oteCacheData APIs are now available. (49660334)
• Starting with iOS 13 beta 4, the copy attribute of the
httpBodyStream property of NSMutableURLRequest is
enforced. If the body data is mutated after the property
setter has been called, data sent in the HTTP request
won't include that mutation. Invoking the property getter no
longer returns a NSMutableData reference, even when the
setter was invoked with data of that type. As of iOS 13 beta
5, apps built using the iOS 12 SDK or previous SDKs use
the legacy behavior. (53427882)
• The CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo API has changed to
address privacy. Please refer to the updated API
documentation and headers for more details. (52707167)
• All URLSessionTask instances with a GET HTTP method
that contain a body now produce the error
NSURLErrorDataLengthExceedsMaximum. (46025234)
Known Issues
• The urlSession(_:taskIsWaitingForConnectivity:) delegate
callback might not function as expected. (54309264)

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
configurations including, but not limited to, configurations
set using Settings, System Preferences, Profiles, and
URLSession APIs such as connectionProxyDictionary and
CFNetworkExecuteProxyAutoConfigurationURL(_:_:_:_:).
(28578280)
• The URLSession and NSURLConnection APIs no longer
support SPDY. Servers should use HTTP 2 or HTTP 1.1.
(43391641)

Notes
Known Issues
• Using search in Notes might produce unexpected results.
(48238242)
Screen Time
Known Issues
• 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)
Settings
Resolved Issues
• Do Not Disturb settings now synchronize between your
phone and watch. (52830669)
• You can purchase cellular data plans on iPad. (51735832,
51737229)

Sign In with Apple

Resolved Issues
• Real User status is available. Sign In with Apple provides a
status for new accounts and the status returns the
expected results. (51765525)
Siri
Known Issues
• Shortcuts automations are temporarily unavailable.
(53182885)
• 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)
• 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.
• Currently, the only supported response for
INSearchForMediaIntent is
INSearchForMediaIntentResponseCode.continueInApp.
(51010311)

Resolved Issues
• While using non-English languages, asking Siri to perform
actions related to Reminders or Messages no longer
causes the corresponding application to quit unexpectedly.
(50952938)

SwiftUI
New Features
• You can now create a Color from a UIColor or NSColor.
(49833933)
• NSManagedObject now conforms to ObservableObject.
The new @FetchRequest property wrapper can drive
views from the results of a fetch request, and
managedObjectContext is now included in the
environment. (50280673)
• Gesture modifiers are renamed for consistency. For
example, tapAction(count:_:) is renamed
onTapGesture(count:perform:), and
longPressAction(minimumDuration:maximumDistance:_:pr
essing:) is renamed
onLongPressGesture(minimumDuration:maximumDistance
:pressing:perform:). (50395282)
• Text now has a default line limit of nil so that it wraps by
default. (51147116)
• ContentSizeCategory and several other enumerations are
now CaseIterable. (51168712)
• SegmentedControl is now a style of Picker. (51769046)
• BindableObject is replaced by the ObservableObject
protocol from the Combine framework. (50800624)

You can manually conform to ObservableObject by
defining an objectWillChange publisher that emits before
the object changes. However, by default,
ObservableObject automatically synthesizes
objectWillChange and emits before any @Published
properties change.

// RoomStore.swift
• import Foundation
•
• class RoomStore: ObservableObject {
• @Published var rooms: [Room] = []
• }
•
• struct Room: Identifiable {
• var id: UUID
• var name: String
• var capacity: Int
• var hasVideo: Bool
• }
•
• // ContentView.swift
• import SwiftUI
•
• struct ContentView: View {
• @ObservedObject var store: RoomStore
•
• var body: some View {
• NavigationView {
• List(store.rooms) { room in
• RoomCell(room: room)
• }
• .navigationBarTitle("Rooms")
• }
• }
• }
• 







@ObjectBinding is replaced by @ObservedObject.
• The Identifiable protocol is now part of the Swift standard
library. As a result, your model files no longer need to
import the SwiftUI framework. (SE-0261)
• The EnvironmentValues structure has four new properties
for reading accessibility values from the environment:
accessibilityDifferentiateWithoutColor,
accessibilityReduceTransparency,
accessibilityReduceMotion, and accessibilityInvertColors.
(51712481)
• The color(_:) modifier for Text is renamed
foregroundColor(_:) for consistency with the more general
foregroundColor(_:) view modifier. (50391847)
• The BindableObject protocol’s requirement is now
willChange instead of didChange, and should now be sent
before the object changes rather than after it changes. This
 change allows for improved coalescing of change
notifications. (51580731)
• The RangeReplaceableCollection protocol is extended to
include a remove(atOffsets:) method and the
MutableCollection protocol is extended to include a
move(fromOffsets:toOffset:) method. Each new method
takes IndexSet instances that you use with the
onMove(perform:) and onDelete(perform:) modifiers on
ForEach views. (51991601)
• Added improved presentation modifiers:
sheet(isPresented:onDismiss:content:),
actionSheet(isPresented:content:), and
alert(isPresented:content:) — along with isPresented in the
environment — replace the existing presentation(_:),
Sheet, Modal, and PresentationLink types. (52075730)
• Updated the APIs for creating animations. The basic
animations are now named after the curve type — such as
linear and easeInOut. The interpolation-based
spring(mass:stiffness:damping:initialVelocity:) animation is
now
interpolatingSpring(mass:stiffness:damping:initialVelocity:),
and
fluidSpring(stiffness:dampingFraction:blendDuration:timest
ep:idleThreshold:) is now
spring(response:dampingFraction:blendDuration:) or
interactiveSpring(response:dampingFraction:blendDuration
:), depending on whether or not the animation is driven
interactively. (50280375)
• Added an initializer for creating a Font from a CTFont.
(51849885)
• You can style a NavigationView using two new style
properties: StackNavigationViewStyle and
DoubleColumnNavigationViewStyle. By default, navigation
views on iPhone and Apple TV visually reflect a navigation
stack, while on iPad and Mac, a split-view styled navigation
view displays. (51636729)

 When using the DoubleColumnNavigationViewStyle style,
you can provide two views when creating a navigation view
— the first is the master and the second is the detail. For
example:

NavigationView {
• MyMasterView()
• MyDetailView()
• }
• .navigationViewStyle(DoubleColumnNavigationViewStyle())
• 








Known Issues
• 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)
Resolved Issues
• Using the Path structure no longer causes your app to
crash if you’re using the SDKs included in Xcode 11 beta 6
and later. (53523206)
• Using a ForEach view with a complex expression in its
closure no longer results in compiler errors. (53325810)

Deprecations
• SwiftUI APIs deprecated in previous versions of iOS 13
beta have been removed. (53310683)
• NavigationDestinationLink and
DynamicNavigationDestinationLink are deprecated; their
functionality is now included in NavigationLink. (50630794)
• The Length type is replaced by CGFloat. (50654095)
• TabbedView is now named TabView. (51012120)
• HAlignment and VAlignment are now deprecated, use the
more flexible HorizontalAlignment or VerticalAlignment
types instead and use TextAlignment for text. (51190531)
• The SelectionManager protocol is removed, use Optional
and Set instances directly for selection. (51557694)
• The isPresented environment value is deprecated and
replaced with the more general presentationMode value.
(51641238)
• The StaticMember protocol is deprecated. Use protocol-
conforming types directly instead. For example, use an
instance of WheelPickerStyle directly rather than the wheel
static member.(52911961)
• Complex overloads for the background(_:alignment:) and
border(_:width:) modifiers are deprecated. Use shapes in a
background(_:alignment:) or overlay(_:alignment:) to draw
these instead. (53067530)
• SwiftUI APIs deprecated in previous betas are now
removed. (52587863)
• The identified(by:) method on the Collection protocol is
deprecated in favor of dedicated
init(_:id:selection:rowContent:) and init(_:id:content:)
initializers. (52976883, 52029393)

The retroactive conformance of Int to the Identifiable
protocol is removed. Change any code that relies on this
conformance to pass \.self to the id parameter of the
relevant initializer. Constant ranges of Int continue to be
accepted:

List(0..<5) {
• Text("Rooms")
• }
• 







However, you shouldn’t pass a range that changes at
runtime. If you use a variable that changes at runtime to
 define the range, the list displays views according to the
initial range and ignores any subsequent updates to the
range.
• Several extensions to the Binding structure are removed.
(51624798)

If you have code such as the following:

struct LandmarkList: View {
• var landmark: [Landmark]
• @Binding var favorites: Set<Landmark>
•
• var body: some View {
• List(landmarks) { landmark in
• Toggle(landmark.name, isOn: self.
$favorites.contains(landmarkID))
• }
• }
• }
• 







Define the following subscript on the Set structure:

extension Set {
• subscript(member: Element) -> Bool {
• get { contains(member) }
• set {
• if newValue {
• insert(member)
• } else {
• remove(member)
• }
• }
• }
• }
• 







 Then, change self.$favorites.contains(landmarkID) to self.
$favorites[landmarkID].
• The Binding structure’s conditional conformance to the
Collection protocol is removed. (51624798)

If you have code such as the following:

struct LandmarkList: View {
• @Binding var landmark: [Landmark]
•
• var body: some View {
• List(landmarks) { landmark in
• Toggle(landmark.value.name, isOn: landmark[\.isFavorite])
• }
• }
• }
• 







Define the following collection type:

struct IndexedCollection<Base: RandomAccessCollection>:
RandomAccessCollection {
• typealias Index = Base.Index
• typealias Element = (index: Index, element: Base.Element)
•
• let base: Base
•
• var startIndex: Index { base.startIndex }
•
• var endIndex: Index { base.startIndex }
•
• func index(after i: Index) -> Index {
• base.index(after: i)
• }
•
• func index(before i: Index) -> Index {
• base.index(before: i)
• }
•
• func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int) -> Index {
• base.index(i, offsetBy: distance)
• }
•
• subscript(position: Index) -> Element {
• (index: position, element: base[position])
• }
• }
•
• extension RandomAccessCollection {
• func indexed() -> IndexedCollection<Self> {
• IndexedCollection(base: self)
• }
• }
• 







Then, update your code to:

struct LandmarkList: View {
• @Binding var landmarks: [Landmark]
•
• var body: some View {
• List(landmarks.indexed(), id: \.1.id) { (index, landmark) in
• Toggle(landmark.name, isOn: self.
$landmarks[index].isFavorite)
• }
• }
• }
• 








• The relativeWidth(_:), relativeHeight(_:), and

relativeSize(width:height:) modifiers are deprecated. Use
other modifiers like
frame(minWidth:idealWidth:maxWidth:minHeight:idealHeig
ht:maxHeight:alignment:) instead. (51494692)
Third-Party Apps
Known Issues
• You might be unable to stream to a Chromecast device.
(51334673)

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.
(35866834)
• 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.
(39742612)
• 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.
(47858564)
• 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
• Specifying UIWindowScene.DestructionRequestOptions in
Swift is currently unavailable. (51036709)

Watch

Known Issues
• Complications might disappear from Apple Watch after
updating to iOS 13 beta if your watch isn't running
watchOS 6 beta. (50507942)

Xcode
New Features
• CAMetalLayer is now available in Simulator. (45101325)
Known Issues
• Donated shortcuts might not appear in Search while using
the simulator. (50832782)

Workaround: Test on a device with Settings > Developer >
Display Recent Shortcuts enabled.
• Changing the volume level in Simulator while a video is
playing in Safari mutes the audio. (51207286)
