Watch Out! This New Severe iOS 11 Bug Crashing iPhones

The tech giant Apple has been trying to fix several bugs on iOS 11 with almost weekly updates. After yesterday launched iOS 11.2 beta 6, this morning the Cupertino company “was forced” to put out the final version of 11.2.

Learn why this update was “urgently” released.

Probably this morning the tech giant Apple detected that its iPhone or iPad began to “have nightmares”. In fact, a bug in iOS 11.1.2 causes the operating system to trigger strange behaviour. There are those who complain about receiving the messages already received, others have seen the iPhone restart continuously, etc.

Apple has already heard of the problem and has released the new 11.2 update.

But what’s the problem?

The problem is that today is December 3rd! If you have an iPhone/iPad running iOS 11.1.2 and an installed app that sends out local notifications to indicate that it has arrived Dec. 2, 2017, your iPhone/iPad may crash continuously. Unlike remote notifications, which result from services that need the Internet, local notifications are part of the app’s own programming.

If you have an app that has local notification with repeating settings, it will crash iOS Springboard on Dec. 2 (Tomorrow!) Here is a reproducible app by @takayama https://t.co/ecEoxFN2hM

“With local notifications, your app configures the notification details locally and passes those details to the system, which then handles the delivery of the notification when your app is not in the foreground”.

So, this and other bugs forced the tech giant Apple to launch a major release on Saturday.

According to the information, iOS 11.2 introduces Apple Pay Cash, a service that allows you to send and receive money through Apple Pay (but only in the US).
