One thing I noticed actually that I didn't notice in the other thread is that a few days ago, I saw "a new device has been added to Facetime". I didn't know what it was and whether it was my device or not, so I just removed it from the list immediately. A few days later I noticed the same behaviour everyone else had, i.e. that my apple id was logged out.
So when I logged back in there was no particular issue, I wonder if there is a correlation between the two. It makes me wonder if something on Apples side has been compromised.
Yep happened to me, I have two iphones, one is on a cheap phone provider and I justhave it for when I need a second phone for whatever. I fired it up the other day and got one of these messages.
Nope, they don't really rely on WebViews unless you're in Safari. They do have an extensive API surface, and a lot of Swift stuff consumes it directly.
I know that most of the infrastructure apps in all Apple operating systems, nowadays, are SwiftUI, so it makes sense that they aren’t WebViews. SwiftUI has a definite UX “flavor.”
I’m not thrilled with some of the choices they made, irt information architecture, and basic UX, but they are consistent.
Yea that’s what I figured. The one that pulls data from the web with every click. It just bugs me when a view will sometimes render absolutely nothing, sometimes while checking subscriptions, other times in the middle of a flow like adding hardware keys. UI’s that fail to produce feedback need to disappear.
> I went to Settings ‣ Privacy & Security ‣ Location Services ‣ System Services ‣ Significant Locations to check, and for some reason the only location in the list was the grocery store that I go to once every two weeks.
This is the most worrying aspect of the messup. Locking out the owner is scary. Admitting a thief is terrifying.
Slightly tangential but I'd sometimes wish for a 3rd party option for such accounts. You can have a gmail, an icloud mail or your own email domain as email is a (well?) defined standard. Why can't I do the same with my iPhone? Back up my device to my own NAS instead of iCloud. Having such a standard would force accountability - not that I consider Apple's security poor, but rather that it could be better.
I just checked my significant locations and all it has is my home. I guess that’s lucky. It usually also has my office where I spend quite a bit of time. Hopefully they recover from whatever outage is going on.
