Apple to Change How It Tests Software After Buggy iOS 13 Rollout



Apple is making changes to its process for testing software following the buggy release of iOS 13, reports Bloomberg.

The change was announced by SVP Craig Federighi and lieutenants including Stacey Lysik at an internal 'kickoff' meeting with software developers. Apple's new approach will have dev teams disable unfinished or buggy features by default in daily builds. Testers will then be able to selectively enable those features via a new internal process and settings menu dubbed Flags. This should help isolate the impact of a specific feature to the system.

The new process will also help make early internal builds more usable or 'livable'. Prior to iOS 14, some teams would add untested features everyday while other teams would make weekly changes.

Apple and Intel Sue SoftBank-Owned Firm Over 'Endless, Meritless' Patent Lawsuits

Apple and Intel on Wednesday jointly filed a lawsuit against SoftBank-owned investment firm Fortress Investment Group, accusing the company of violating U.S. federal antitrust laws by pursuing "endless, meritless" patent litigation.

The complaint alleges that non-practicing patent assertion entities like Fortress aggressively pursue patent litigation against large companies like Apple and Intel, knowing that even if they lose several cases, they could eventually win a case with a large monetary reward that exceeds their losses.


Apple and Intel argue that Fortress-backed entities have "sought billions of dollars" from the two companies over the years, forcing both tech giants to spend "millions of dollars" on outside resources like counsel and expert witnesses to defend against Fortress-backed demands and assertions.

Fortress-backed entities like Uniloc, DSS Technology Management, and Seven Networks are also named in the lawsuit, first reported by Reuters. The complaint was filed in Northern California federal court.
