If a bug has been shipped to production and people are depending on it, it isn't a bug but a feature. If you then "fix" it without notice, it is a breaking change. This is all software/platform development 101.

Since when is a beta version of something "production"?
- paxys 2y ago
  The bug was fixed in the beta. It has been on iOS for many production versions.
- ebiester 2y ago
  It isn't. However, there was no release note, it changed late in the beta cycle, and there's no plan to revert. As of right now, if this isn't adjusted to solve going forward rather than disrupting current applications, I don't have the confidence to upgrade to iOS 18 in a way that I have been confident of earlier releases.
