Foodtown ON THE GO app for iOS: Settings menu option has access to different development environments

 iOS 15.5

Foodtown ON THE GO app for iOS (version 20220726)

Date: 08/07/22

Description:

Here's an odd issue that I have only once seen previously. An app called Foodtown ON THE GO has some unusual options in the settings menu. Take a look:

Head to the Settings area of the Foodtown ON THE GO app for iOS. You'll see some unusual settings options at the bottom.

API Key and Asset Key are empty. But API Environment and Asset Environment are.

Different environments. 

Different environments.

I am baffled as to why an app would include this. In the thousands and thousands of apps I have downloaded over the years, I have only ever seen this in one other app.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download the Foodtown ON THE GO app for iOS

2. Launch the Settings option for the Foodtown app

3. Scroll down and notice the API Environment and Asset Environment options 

Result: The Foodtown ON THE GO app for iOS has unusual options in the Settings menu. Options include the API Environment and Asset Environment options

Expected: Not sure if these options are supposed to be present - I would guess that they are not supposed to be visible by the end user 

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
