Are people here in the beta program that have nothing to do with actually testing it?
It’s “Beta”. The “B” might as well stand for “Bugs”. Why is this even being reported on? Slow day?
Every time you wake your device from sleep that message box pops up. It’s annoying ad hell. And both developers and those on public beta are getting it. I’m sorry but this is not something acceptable with beta software and hopefully the fix will be coming today.
This is what beta releases are for. However, if the bug is as described and tied to an expiration date it seems like it's an odd bit of logic. These types of update services are typically either Push based where the server pushes a message to the client device to inform the device of a change, or Pull based where the client device periodically checks with the server to see if any changes are needed. Engaging the user through a popup notification should always be conditional either way, i.e., only done if a change is necessary. Strange.
Yeah definitely not something that can be explained away by “it’s a beta”. iOS 12 beats have been very stable for me and most bugs were mentioned in the release notes. Clearly whatever happened here was not intended and a fix needs to come out today.
I see this dialog every time I bring the iPhone out of sleep :-( A little disturbing to see these kinds of problems in such a late beta. I’m actually encountering an even worse one in this late beta: my phone crashes/reboots whenever I view a complex PDF and try to zoom in. Very annoying since our architect has been sending us floor plans we were supposed to comment on :-(
As has been hammered away at for years now, no one should be using a beta release in an actual work environment. It's just plain stupid to do so and then complain it is annoying and hurting one's job performance. Go ahead and be "a little disturbed" all you want. Wring your hands all you want. No sympathy.

Are you actually in software development?? I’ve been doing it for decades, and the field-update mechanism of a product is something you want to really nail early. It’s the one thing that, if it becomes inoperable, leads to a complete support meltdown. The fact that it’s buggy 12 days before go-live and for a product where Apple actively encourages non-developers to try it *IS* a little scary, and definitely newsworthy.
I have too and complaining about bugs in beta is foolish nonsense.
Also, iOS l2 likely won’t drop the day of the event so you’re dates are off.

Not acceptable? Who’s asking you to accept it, you signed up to beta test! God you newbs to software ar ridiculous. This is exactly what a beta is for. Do you think their beta release candidate did this for them? Of course not. It’s something about conditions outside their office that triggers it, which is why betas exist.
Encountering bugs during the beta program means that the program is working AS INTENDED. Not sure why people complain about beta builds... you should be happy to discover a bug for the rest of us! You have my thanks for sure!

Oh but mah phone!
I’m not a newb to software. Nobody sigh up for a beta expecting to be spammed every time they wake their phone from sleep. The fact that Apple sent out an update next day just to fix it shows it was not a typical bug with beta software. Stop being a shill for everything Apple does. The company can make mistakes you know.

People running beta software know all about (and expect) bugs. Heck in many of these betas Apple would point out known bugs in the release notes. Considering how quickly Apple sent out another beta to fix it I think it’s clear this was not a typical bug that comes with beta software.

And yet, remains the entire purpose of public and dev betas — to expose that which isn’t exposed inside the dev studio.
I love it when people who don’t write or produce software tell the rest of the world how to write and produce software. “It should be easy, right?”

Explaining why your complaints of bugs in a beta is completely stupid doesn’t make me a shill for anybody. I have plenty of posts with complaints....calling me names is just deploying an ad hominem attack because you’re at an intellectual dead end and have no further rational points to argue.

I hear you.. I have no idea what they change between builds. I would love to be a beta tester but I never seem to have a spare phone lying around.
I found a fix for this. On my iPhone 7 Plus I noticed that the profile had been removed. I downloaded The beta profile and would you believe I have an update available.

For me this did not help. I just removed the beta profile, and downloaded it again. Still no update to fix this thing.
So every time i use my phone i get this annoying message.
