Sorry, I meant to say: "So all is now good." My iPad Mini 7 is now supported after installing Xcode 16.1.

I updated iPad Mini 7 to 18.1, My MacBook to 15.1, but those didn't fix. But then Xcode 16.1 just came out and after updating to 16.1, my iPad Mini 7 is now supported. It also gave me the simulator for my Mini 7. So all is not good. Too bad Xcode 16.1 wasn't available first.

I'm already on MacOS 15.0.1. I doubt this is a MacOS issue. This strikes me as a lack of Xcode support for the iPad Mini 7. I hope there's a solution soon.

Tillmoss, did you ever get a reply to this question? I have an app that also generates a QR code, and I was getting the exact same error: The filter 'CIPortraitEffectSpillCorrection' is not implemented in the bundle at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/CoreImage/PortraitFilters.cifilter. Everything seemed to work fine, but the error was annoying, and I couldn't find any solution online. So I just started commenting out block of code until I found a solution. I'm using code from hackingwithswift.com as a reference (they have some great examples). The odd thing was that I don't remember seeing this error when I first implemented the QR code into my program. But when I moved my higher level declarations for:         let context = CIContext()         let filter = CIFilter.qrCodeGenerator() down into my func generateQRCode scope, the error went away. Take care. Whoops. Revision... I still get the error, but not when I run the program, now it's only when I push the button that makes the call. But it only occurs once. Bug?
