iOS 13.4: Selecting the Bluetooth force touch into Settings crashes the app if Bluetooth is on!

iOS 13.4

Date: 03/26/20

Description:

As has been described by a number of users, there is a new bug which was introduced with the just released iOS 13.4.

I first spotted a twitter user named @Themetris discussing this. I quickly saw that he was absolutely correct, and the issue he describes is happening with iOS 13.4:

Confirmed iOS 13.4 bug: tapping Bluetooth on the force touch pop-down of Settings makes the app crash every time. Happens on both iPhones I own (8 and 11 Pro), both running 13.4.

How can you mess up something so simple, @Apple? @AppleSupport #ios134 #fail

If Bluetooth is ON, and if all other apps (including Settings) are closed, the Settings app will crash if the user enters it by using the force touch shortcut from the Settings icon on the home screen.

This is much easier to show than to describe, so please take a look at the numerous videos that are being posted online:


Here are some Twitter users who have captured some video of the issue:

@AppleSupport This started happening right after today’s update. Are you aware of this issue? #haptictouch All I was trying to do was get to Bluetooth settings. iPhone 11 Pro iOS 13.4 pic.twitter.com/nRe5Yvtw8w

Steps to Reproduce:

1. With your iOS device set to 13.4, turn on the Bluetooth option
2. Force close all apps (including settings)
3. Activate the drop-down menu from the Settings icon on the home screen
4. From the drop down menu, tap "Bluetooth"

Result: If Bluetooth is turned on the iOS device, the Settings app will crash if the user uses the force touch drop down menu and selects "Bluetooth"

Expected: Settings app should not crash if the user selects the "Bluetooth" shortcut option via the drop-down menu for the Settings app
