News: Apple Just Released iOS 12.2 Developer Beta 3 for iPhone, Fixes Lock Screen Issue & Restores Group FaceTime

Apple just released the third iOS 12.2 developer beta Tuesday, Feb. 19, fifteen days after the release of iOS 12.2 developer beta 2. Beta 3 fixes an issue with the lock screen, and reintroduces Group FaceTime to beta testers. Overall, iOS 12.2 hosts a wealth of new features as well as bug and security patches.According to Apple, beta 3's biggest fix is solving an issue where the charge indicator would remain on the lock screen where the date would usually be, even after the iPhone was removed from power. However, Apple quietly added iOS 12.1.4's Group FaceTime patch to 12.2 beta 3, restoring limited Group FaceTime abilities to beta testers. While you still can't add people to group calls, you can start a call from a group chat.Also new to 12.2 beta is a redesigned on-screen Apple TV remote; "News" has a new header, with the original logo removed from the top-right corner of the display; the "About" screen in Settings is slightly rearranged, grouping important data together.Update: iOS 12.2 Dev Beta 4 Ready with New Icons, Updated About Page App owners can also now start changing subscription pricing whenever they want with support for new subscription offers, which means recurring costs no longer have to be fixed or limited to deals only when first subscribing.Apple released iOS 12.1.4 to the public last week, patching the infamous Group FaceTime security bug, but previous iOS 12.2 betas were left out. It's possible this update restores Group FaceTime to a secure position, but we can't confirm this yet.The release notes for iOS 12.2 beta 3 are as follows:App Store - Promoting Your Subscriptions with New OffersStoreKit now supports subscription offers in addition to introductory offers, so apps with auto-renewable subscriptions will soon be able to provide a discounted price for a specific duration for existing and previously subscribed customers. You will be able to use subscription offers to help win back subscribers who have canceled their subscriptions or promote an upgrade to another subscription at a special price. Customers can accept the offer even if they've already completed an introductory offer.StoreKit introduces a new array of SKProductDiscount objects within the SKProduct class to display offers within your app to eligible customers. Add a new SKPaymentDiscount object within the SKPayment class to allow these offers to be accepted by the customer.Apple Pay - Known IssuesYou might be unable to authenticate within Wallet after selecting a card.
