Update: on the iOS 18.1 release candidate the issue is still reproducible on an iPhone 16 (Pro).

Hello @Engineer, we’re seeing many reports that this is still not fixed on the latest beta for iPhone 16 and 16 Pro. Any workarounds you can recommend? My radar is still without any response: FB15255061 This is urgent, because iOS 18.1 will be released next week and without a workaround many apps will get horrible user experience.

That’s insane! I guess that means I’ll have to add a big banner to my app: Push notifications delayed? Apple Intelligence is slowing down your whole phone! Turn off Apple Intelligence to restore expected performance of your device. It hurts, but I don’t see any alternative. PS: Strangely my radars still say: Recent similar reports: None I’ve filed it under FB15255061 and FB15544410

Sorry to hear that! Is that on iPhone 15 Pro or 16 (Pro)?

@syatyo did you hear anything back from the DTS ticket and wouldn't mind sharing what you were told?

Hello, I had filed a radar for this but did not receive a follow-up yet, could you please double-check it went to the right team? FB15307407

Update: I am still unable to reproduce this on iPhone 15 Pro. So it must be an iPhone 16 exclusive problem.

Thanks for the update; that’s wild if true! I am currently installing the latest beta as well and will report back if I can reproduce this then.

Hey appreciate your input on this. I just tried this, but it didn't fix my problem unfortunately :/

Hello @Engineer, thanks again for taking the time to look at this. From my experience this seems to be fixed in the latest iOS 18.1 beta (22B5069a), however my feedback report resolution still says "Open". Could you please verify if this has been fixed? This is my Radar: FB15255061

@Bxmakaveli51 For me it’s finally fixed on the latest beta of iOS 18.1 (22B5069a), but I am on an iPhone 15 Pro, so there might be a difference. Would be pretty bad though if we had to recommend our users turning off Apple intelligence 🤣

Hey @Maximillian-Dev thanks for your additional feedback! I have looked at my code again multiple times and I couldn't find any issues with it. I was actually able to reproduce this in a condensed, simple sample project that I have attached to my radar (in case anyone from Apple is reading this: FB15190710 ). I am also able to reproduce this on any other apps that are on the App Store that offer this kind of "block all / allow-list" functionality.

This is not possible unfortunately due to privacy reasons. Even worse, in this thread we are talking about how Apple provides different tokens for the same app – so our app can’t even provide a consistent behavior for apps that have been selected by the user.

blank icons sometimes happen to me if the app is not installed on the device itself.

That’s super interesting! It makes sense, because on a fresh install without 3rd party apps the picker does not crash, only if more and more 3rd party apps are installed, it begins to crash at some point. It really shows the problem here: Apple QA is testing this in a white box and says "works for me", but doesn't consider that users in the real world have more than 20 apps on their phone...
