Can You Test iOS 14?
Contents

Apple is releasing major new software updates in the fall for iPhones and iPads, and now you can download prerelease versions of them for a test-drive. Apple’s new iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 public betas can be installed for free on any recent device, but be forewarned, there are bugs.

How do I test my iOS devices?

Open up a project in Xcode and click on the device near the Run ▶ button at the top left of your Xcode screen. Plug your iPhone into your computer. You can select your device from the top of the list. Unlock your device and (⌘R) run the application.

Does iOS 14 do anything bad?

Right out of the gate, iOS 14 had its fair share of bugs. There were performance issues, battery problems, user interface lags, keyboard stutters, crashes, glitches with apps, and a bunch of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity troubles.
