Think I might give this a go on my iPad but not sure I can gamble on the phone yet, don't want to risk any CarPlay issues as I rely on it a lot.

iOS 13, iPadOS and macOS Catalina Public Betas are out
- Thread starter Veliladon
- Start date
I'm using the ipados beta for some days and the controller support is a gamechanger. Now we need games for those A1X powerhouses.
I updated without backing up to iTunes ( I don't have a Mac)
I hope I'm not fucked. iPad OS is already impressing me.

If you're feeling sad about that, I wouldn't recommend opening Steam :-/
I wouldn't worry too much about Steam, It is usually fixed pretty quickly after a few betas.
Steam itself is fine, there are a number of 32-bit games that won't run unless updated to 64-bit.
Is there any word as to whether 32-bit audio plugins run?
They can't fix a huge amount of the games being broken though
I came to ask this and what it broke on TVOS. I'd rather keep my home peaceful.
This. Need my phone to be reliable plus iOS 13 didn't seem that interesting?
Surprised they went with beta 2 as the public beta. It's still a buggy mess, specially Mail and Safari.
I wish someone could figure out a way to get the Wii U Pro Controller to work with iOS13. Interested in Apple's upcoming arcade service but not crazy about having to buy a $50+ controller specifically for it.
It's got some great QoL improvements. I love that I can just tap to share my ETA with whoever through the Apple Maps app. It sends updates through text about how far off you are, and even updates them if you've hit a delay.
Dark mode is great but stops being a huge deal after a couple days.
Let's see, what else...
The swiping keyboard is nice...?
I believe the apps themselves have to also be updated to allow it....
I just plugged in a USB3 HDD into my iPad Pro 10.5 and copied over a ton of video files for playback in VLC. Worked a treat.
whoa really.... This is amazing news. I might install the AppleTV beta tonight then if there are no major issues reported.
Can you roll it back if there are issues
Oh so that's what my spare iPad Mini 4 is for.. I'll try this out tonight. Wonder if it will help me get my 4K60 footage from my Osmo Pocket straight onto LumaFusion with the Files app improvement. That would be a massive help.
Yeah you just delete the beta profile, reboot, and it'll put you on the stable release path.
The only thing that's a bit annoying is if you want to downgrade from beta to an older release like the current stable version of iOS 12, you'll need to make a local backup using iTunes before installing the beta.
Literally the only thing I know I'd miss from moving from Android back to iPhones (I know this is about the iPad) is Apple doing a classy widget system. On iPad and iPhone. They can do the side app multi tasking thing with aplomb and picture in picture really nice too, add in widgets that third party apps can support and get it running on the phone's too. iPhone would be perfect then.
I am using the iPad now with a Bluetooth Apple keyboard and a USB Steelseries mouse and it really is fantastic. I think the iPad is finally ready to be a laptop replacement. I don't even mind the over-sized cursor (although options would be nice), scrolling with the mouse wheel just needs to be quicker (it scrolls in really tiny increments) but other than that using the mouse in iPadOS is pretty nice.
Yep. Plug in the SD card through a converter, load the footage straight into the LumaFusion in the "On my iPad" section. That's what I plan on doing with my drone footage
The Apple TV is super hard to roll back, if I remember correctly. if you have an Apple TV 4th gen you can restore it using the USB port on the back but the 4K you have to use Xcode, I think?
I updated my Apple TV 4k, 8plus, and my '15MBA. The iPhone is done and seems to be working fine, the MBA is still updating, but the Apple TV isn't displaying on my screen anymore. It was before the update, and the unit is on. I've tried to reset the display setting, but nothing is showing up.
Does it let you play video files from the HDD or do you need to copy first
Weird, battery life is fine for me on X with Dev 2 and I haven't noticed anything wrong with mail.
Anyone had luck running the Steam link app and pairing an Xbox controller on the iPhone XR? It's force closing during the mapping of the buttons.
Depends on the codec: if Files can play it then yeah you can play from the HDD. For MKVs I had to copy them to my iPad into the VLC folder first and then play them in VLC.
Apple really need to let us set default apps...
It keeps failing to push mail to me, then after I get my mail and read/delete it, the little counter bug thingy on the app displays that I have tons of unread mail in my empty mailbox.
Loving it so far. Definitely some bugs, but nothing ruinous. App switching gestures have been iffy, some little graphical and smoothness issues, but so far so usable.
The one non-native video I tried to edit/trim ended up with audio sync issues, which is a bummer.
Messages seems to scroll up in whatever conversation I'm in when I switch to it, which is annoying.
Pencil update is shockingly noticeable. I figured it was so good before I wouldn't perceive anything but even on a 10.5 with a Pencil 1 it shows. Not gonna ruin any non-native-Pencil API apps by any means, but the insane work they put in shows.
Files is fantastically better, but still far from perfect. Obviously subject to change/bugs, but copying files over doesn't seem to have any progress bar besides on the location file. Gotta actually go check the final file locations and see if the icon is filled before removing a drive. Also, while multi-window is great, sometimes it doesn't work when I'd expect. Like dragging a RelicDrive from the left panel to a new window doesn't work, but enter the drive and drag a folder and you're fine.
