    Security Contacts (iOS 16.3.1)

    I am quite sure, that I did not add my security contact on 01.01.1970.

    Screen Time and Messages (macOS 13.2.1)

    Screen Time for children is completely broken. And the feature to receive requests via Messages.app renders the app useless on macOS.

    Mail (macOS 13.2)

    My smart folder with the rule to only show unread emails shows a couple of read emails.

    Apple Mail displays read e-mails it shouldn't.

    macOS Ventura 13.2

    After a reboot my System decided to present an empty list of apps granted Accessibility access. Normally there are about 20 applications listed. I then immediately received countless warnings from various apps (Hookmark, CleanShot X, Typinator, etc.) that they would no longer work. Only after another restart the list was back, all apps were ticked, so they should have access - but they did not. I had to switch all the switches off and on again manually.

    Default Folder X complains about revoked access rights.

    macOS Ventura 13.2

    After each restart Ventura tells me again that background objects have been added - EVERY TIME.

    Find My / Wo ist? (iOS 16.3)

    These mentioned AirPods, that are “moving with me” are my own! 🤦‍♂️

    Messages (macOS 13.2)

    It would be too easy if I could just approve the request. (Instead it loads forever).

    Shortcuts (iOS 16.3)

    This is for sure not how a context click in shortcuts should behave.

    Shortcuts app iOS four times invoking the context menu of a media selector to get variables shown.

    iPad Lockscreen (iPadOS 16.3)

    This time it was my iPad that I had to reboot, because scrolling up to unlock it did not work.

    Reminders (macOS 13.1)

    Why is the text in the field shortened, there is so much free space.

    Apple Mail / Account Aliases stopped working (iCloud)

    Okay, this is a bummer. I have just discovered that none of my Apple iCloud email aliases are working. Now the question: why and since when? I’d rather not know how many emails I’ve missed because of this. 🤯 At least, I think, I’ve resolved the issue: Under icloud.com / Mail / Settings / Accounts I’ve disabled the Alias addresses, filled in Fullname and Label, renabled the Account alias and now it’s working again.

    Apple Mail (macOS 13.1)

    Of course, it would be nice if Apple Mail would also show me my emails.

    Home Screen (iOS 16.2)

    Ah, not only does the lock screen not want to show widgets all the time, the (Files.app) widget on the home screen can also be empty.

    App Store (iOS 16.2)

    Why not give us even more sorting options for subscriptions? Would be very easy to implement as they do nothing.

    Lockscreen (iOS 16.2)

    There might be missing something, isn’t it? 🤔

    Calendar deletion bug (iOS 16.2)

    Deletion of an entry from the search entry does not clear the deleted item from the list.

    App Store (iOS 16.2)

    Going back from the detail screen of a subscription and swiping up or down does not scroll the subscriptions in the list but the modal view.

    Springboard (iOS 16.2)

    Not able to go back to the springboard. Swiping upwards is refused.

    Xcode CLI tools

    So, I wanted to install an App via brew. It told me that I don’t have Xcode CLI tools installed and asked me to do so. I already had but, yeah, anyhow, I did it via the given shell command … A few minutes later macOS tells me that there a two updates available.

    Screenshot Updates available - CLI Tools Xcode

    WTF? Why two versions? And why an update anyways, I just downloaded them directly from Apple?

    Shortcuts

    The Apple Shortcuts App constantly gets out of sync between my MacBook and my iPhone. Thanks!

    Reminders

    Why does adding reminders via Siri work without any problems under iOS and exactly the same request via Siri under macOS leads to absolutely pointless queries and error messages (at least when set to GER)? WTF?
