Heads up with iOS 26 beta 3, breaks the app

[JGard18]

Apple released Dev beta 3 for iOS 26 today, and like a moran I installed it right away. Since then, the Lucid app does not work. It's completely unresponsive once it opens. I've rebooted, force closed, reinstalled, etc, nothing has gotten it to work. Just a heads up for the rest of you, leave it on Beta 2 for now if you want to continue using your app.

Don't use a developer beta on your personal phone, they're for developers to use on their development phones or emulators...

Cool thanks.

I noticed that also, but it still works as the key.

I have the same problem. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app with fresh login and it freezes.

I would hope that any tech enthusiast that’s installing dev betas knows fully well the intention and risks they take. I’ve been installing dev betas for years on my devices. Still nice to know when things break. He wasn’t blaming lucid as it’s clearly not their fault, it was more of a heads up which was useful for me as I just ran into this issue.

Understood and apologies for coming off harsh there. I’ve just seen a lot of posts around (not here) recently of people who think betas are like hot backstage passes to show off, complaining that things break. I mistook this for that. Carry on.

I'm in the same boat (and, yes, I fully realized the risks in using the developer beta releases). I will note that the Apple Watch app does still work even though the main app doesn't. My watch also has the latest developer beta.

Glad to know I’m not the only one with this issue. Seems like only the app Home Screen is frozen; the widget remains connected to the car (shows when it’s charging and the accurate state of charge) and the mobile key still works

I reported it to Apple feedback. I’m sure it’ll get fixed in Beta 4

Yeah, this kind of thing happens every beta cycle. It’s always one app or another reacting poorly to a change or bug.

I don’t expect Lucid to address it directly unless it doesn’t go away by the next three or four betas. Ideally, a new OS would never break an existing app.

My guess is Apple will have this sorted soon. Though it’s not like they are looking at the Lucid app specifically. (Though Craig Federighi drives an Air, so who knows?)
