Apple ID

Core Media
Known Issues

HealthKit
Known Issues
● Users who import a verifiable vaccination record aren’t able to add it to the Wallet app, and the Health app may freeze. (84784379)

Safari Extensions
Resolved in iOS & iPadOS 15.2 beta 2
● In Safari 15 and 15.1, sync storage for Safari Web Extensions is no longer being written into the local storage area. Developers using sync storage can check for storage in the local storage area if they can’t find their data in the sync storage area and do a one-time migration. (84214292)

SwiftUI
Known Issues
● Document-based apps include a Save As menu item above Duplicate. (83741212)
