Damn it... I literally just wiped my iPhone completely because of this problem and am now restoring it from scratch. I wish I had read hacker news first!

Me too. What an absurd bug.

Did it twice! Lost data too. Apples software quality has taken a very noticeable dive the last year or two. Being an iOS developer used to be very comfortable. It’s now become a real pain in many ways. Xcode being the worst.

  Xcode 9 is definitely an area where I feel like it’s going in the right direction.

    Xcode 9 promised a lot, but for me it has been a big disappointment. SourceKitService still ends up in an endless loop allocating memory and needs to be kill -9'd every 10 minutes. Switching git branches with a storyboard open often trips up Xcode and just now crashed my Mac completely. Apple software quality is not what it used to be.

  How has it become a pain? Been doing. Stove iOS for a while and now I'm learning React Native, it's fun.

    Same. I’ve done 10 or so apps in objc/swift and now 4 in RN and even though I know native like the back of my hand I much prefer RN. Jsx and the rendering model of react is 10x better than constraints in code or storyboards. Getting android nearly for free is just a cherry on top.

      Wow you picked up RN early! Right, and the faster development cycle with hot or manual reloading makes it really easy to be productive. I just need to figure out a few integration issues like navigation within our native app and localization using our current native scripts, but all the newness and uncertainty is really exciting. Sorry I just realized my previous message autocorrected to nonsense.

Me too. Multiple iCloud backup restores, a couple Apple Watch erase and re-pair cycles, many hours wasted.

I'm surprised this hasn't spread more in the traditional news. It's affecting almost everybody that has an iphone which is half the population. I had to tell many of my friends that were cursing over crashing phones. Is it that they don't want to be seen as fist line support for apple?
