Flightradar24 app for iOS: Share sheet - auto-generated subject line disappears the second time the email dialog is activated

 iOS 14.4 on an iPhone 8

Flightradar24 app for iOS (version 8.12.2)

Date: 02/24/21

There is a minor bug with the Flightradar 24 app and the iOS share sheet option. I have only seen this bug a couple of times before (once with an app called Tangi, and another time with an app Zocdoc) with a few other apps.

It's a extremely minor issue - the fact that I have only seen this problem happen a handful of times in all of the different apps I have tried this with is what is interesting to me!

The Flightradar24 has a feature where the user can share something from inside of the app (an airport, a particular flight) using the iOS share sheet. If the user activates the share sheet, and then selects the email option, the subject line is auto-filled.

Like this:

After selecting a random flight from inside the app (an LAX to Sea-Tac flight) the Subject Line inside is auto-generated. 

After this pop-up appears, cancel out of the email and delete the draft. Then select the email option again from the share sheet:

After selecting the Email option a second time, the Subject Line is now blank. Not common to see this with iOS apps!





Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch the Flightradar24 app

2. Head to anything inside of the app (an airport or a particular flight) that has an option to activate the iOS share sheet

3. Select the Email icon from the share sheet

4. Note that the Subject Line of the email is correctly auto-generated 

5. Close out the email (by selecting "Cancel" and "Delete Draft") and then select the email option again

6. Note that the Subject Line of the email is now incorrectly blank

Result: The Subject Line of the emails created after selecting "email" from the iOS share sheet are blank after the email is closed and opened again 

Expected: This shouldn't be happening - only happens with a handful of iOS apps

iOS 14.4: Beirut time - Cannot set a new alarm if the time is set to Beirut time

 iOS 14.4 - Device manually set to Beirut time 

Date: 02/17/21

Description:

With iOS 14.4, if the device is manually set to Beirut time, the Calendar app will crash if the user tries to set a new alarm.

In short: setting the device to Beirut time appears to have serious problems with iOS 14.4, and results in the user being unable to set a new alarm. 

This reproduced for me on two different iPhones an (iPhone 6 and an iPhone 8) running iOS 14.4. This does NOT reproduce on an iPad running 12.3.1.

There is a thread about this online, so it seems as if a great many users are experiencing this issue. 

Here's a video of the problem:



There seems to be a single other mention of this on Twitter: 



Steps to Reproduce:

1. On an iOS device running 14.4, head to settings

2. Select "General"

3. Select "Date & Time"

4. De-select the "Set Automatically" option 

5. Select "Time Zone"

6. Enter in "Beirut, Lebanon" and select as time

7. Exit out of Settings and select "Clock"

8. Select "Alarm"

9. Select the "+" in the upper right

Result: With iOS 14.4, if the user changes the device's time zone setting to "Beirut, Lebanon" the Clock app will crash if the user tries to set a new alarm. The user is unable to set a new alarm if the Time Zone setting of the iOS 14.4 device is set to "Beirut, Lebanon"



Set the "Time Zone" setting to "Beirut"...

With the Time Zone set to "Beirut" select the "+" option...


The app crashes!!!
