Could be why they waited until the holiday weekend was over. Figured a lot of new people would jump on PB2 and decided to not cause headaches for them.
AirPrint works just fine for me.
While the beta's roughness is well noted, and it is rougher than iOS 12 beta (which was easily the most stable iOS beta by far), I think it's overstated. It's far more usable than many past iOS betas.
This is the feedback we need. We should have a poll asking how the beta is functioning for you. ( I know it is not meant to be a stable release for everyone ) but people DO put these on their main devices.
I disagree. Sure, it's in Beta but the product is still useable. I haven't really had any issues with apps not working. If anything small glitches here and there but that's about it.
I've had some of the weird phone bugs like missed calls, but the most common bug I’ve had is using quick access on the home screen apps makes that app, native or 3rd party disappear and the only way to make the app icon reappear is force reset. Happens probably 2-3 times per weeks so not a major deal. The other issue is my email app shows I have unread email even though there’s nothing unread. Otherwise, iOS 13 PB1 has been solid on my XR. iPadOS on my 10.5 iPad Pro has been rock solid.
iPad mini 5 connected via cable to 2017 MBr works smooth using sidecar. first time I tried it it said timed out then it worked. you can use your pencil to swipe write text into anything on the iPad. runs very smooth just like na external monitor
NEVER do it with a phone you need to use all the time unless you're fully prepared for the consequences of maybe having to do a factory reset to the last normal public release of a finished iOS.
I couldn’t get notes to AirPrint all it would usually freeze and pages was hit and miss annotation was also would stall, from running off an iPad Pro 9.7”
I've been using PB1 on my XS daily driver since it was released. Yes, there are issues: camera app is a little wonky when using anything with depth, screen orientation wigs out sometimes, battery drain is bad, email app doesn't update properly, phone locked up twice since installing, and 3d touch seemed totally replaced with haptic touch. That said, PB1 was completely usable. If you can't regularly deal with issues like those, then public betas simply shouldn't be installed on your daily driver.
This will come off far more condescending than I mean it.....DONT! If you are unsure about running a beta, you shouldn’t. It’s been said over and over again. It’s not supposed to be an opportunity to try new features it’s for helping apple spot problems by getting them on a massive number of devices outside of the use case of a large spaceship shaped office in Cupertino. Years ago if you participated in the beta but didn’t provide feedback you weren’t invited back to the next beta. We are literally testing their software for free, for the good of everyone. If you depend on your device AT ALL you shouldn’t run it. What happens if your in an accident and a glitch in the way you entered the phone app causes you to not be able to dial 911? That’s not a situation anyone should ever been in, it’s extreme, but it’s a real possibility.
If you must, don’t forget to encrypt and archive a backup through iTunes.
Godspeed brave traveler....
My experience differs vastly.
On my 12.9” Pro (and previously on the 10.5” Pro) it’s very stable and i’ve encountered no apps I have been unable to use.
From all of the talk I expected glitches, crashes, etc... nothing.
The caveat, of course, is that my experience may be different from others. The 12.9 is not my “daily driver” nor would I install it on a daily driver.
Or themselves as they would have come back to that many more feedback requests from increased 4th of July activity.
I’m a first time public beta user so please forgive the question. Do I need to delete the PB 1 profile before installing the PB 2 one? Thanks
Nope... you're fine. The profile will work with all public betas of iOS13 going forward.
Thank
Thanks for the help. I noticed that I’m now showing two separate profiles installed. Will I need to delete these before installing the final version in the fall?

You can, but it won't prevent you from installing the final version.
It is good housekeeping practice though to remove unused profiles.
