Dictionary

Known Issue

A user updating to an iOS 9 GM build from a seed build may see duplicate dictionaries in the definition

dictionary list if the user switched primary language, added secondary languages, or added new

keyboards.

Workaround: To remove the duplicate dictionaries, go to the definition dictionary list, swipe the

dictionary, and tap the Delete button.

iCloud Keychain

Fixed in Beta 2

Sometimes, while setting up iCloud Keychain, you receive a Could Not Set Up iCloud Keychain error.

Workaround: Reboot the device

Networking

Notes

• Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) is now enabled by default on Wi-Fi and on select carriers.

This is designed to reduce network delays and reduce packet loss.

• The ability to synthesize NAT64 IPv6 addresses from IPv4 literals was added to getaddrinfo.

Safari

Notes

• SFSafariViewController now supports 3rd party Action Extensions. Any Action Extension

that works in Safari will also work in SFSafariViewController.

• Long tapping the Reload button in Safari View Controller now gives options to Reload Without

Content Blockers and Request Desktop Site, like in Safari.

• Safari View Controller can now be dismissed using an edge swipe. You must rebuild your app

against the iOS 9.2 SDK or later in order to take advantage of this new behavior.

Known Issue

The content blocker loader XPC service may crash when no content blocker content is provided.

Video

Fixed in Beta 2

Videos with ‘folw’ track associations will fail to play on 32-bit devices.

Wi-Fi Calling on Other Devices

Note

To prevent improper use of Wi-Fi Calling on Other Devices that belong to other users, do not put your

AT&T SIM card in another user’s iPhone.
