# iOS & iPadOS 18.5 Release Notes

Update your apps to use new features, and test your apps against API changes.

## Overview

Overview The iOS & iPadOS 18.5 SDK provides support to develop apps for iPhone and iPad running iOS & iPadOS 18.5. The SDK comes bundled with Xcode 16.4, available from the Mac App Store. For information on the compatibility requirements for Xcode 16.4, see Xcode 16.4 Release Notes. Apple Vision Pro app Resolved Issues Fixed: On iOS 18.4 beta 1, the Apple Vision Pro app launches with a black screen if downloaded from the App Store. Upgrade to iOS 18.4 beta 2 and newer, and the app will launch as expected.  (146814396) Broadcast Extensions New Features Broadcast extensions now have a higher per-process memory limit. This should enable capturing & streaming content at higher quality, if the system resources are available.  (144104867) hvf Resolved Issues Fixed: Availability checking is disabled for C APIs in hvf.  (148385341) Security Resolved Issues Fixed: Some enterprise apps might not launch. If you experienced this issue on iOS 18 or later, uninstall all enterprise apps from the device and reinstall them.  (147965052) Siri Known Issues Siri requests to play a song in Apple Music might fail across multiple platforms.  (149392508) StoreKit Resolved Issues Fixed: Calling isEligibleForIntroOffer(for:) will return false if there is no user account signed in.  (146119524) Writing Tools Resolved Issues Fixed: Resolved an issue where the attributes in the NSAttributedString passed in writingToolsCoordinator(_:replace:in:proposedText:reason:animationParameters:completion:) (or its companion async form) are stripped when an NSWritingToolsCoordinator or UIWritingToolsCoordinator has resultOptions set to [.plainText]. The attributes are no longer stripped but instead use the same attributes as were included by the delegate in the NSAttributedString returned in writingToolsCoordinator(_:requestsContextsFor:completion:) (or its companion async form).
