Cwa-app-ios: iOS14 Beta - ENF Apps are switching automatically - Beta Test

• [ ] Bug is not already reported in another issue

Active Apps are switching without notification of end users

Expected behaviour

The new ENF Framework is now added to the settings in iOS 14 with a separate menu item in the main settings menu. When opening it it shows the active app

I am using also the SwissCovid and immuni App, because I am commuting between Germany and Switzerland and immuni I have installed for my vacation (Sync should be there when the Background Sync is up and running as announced in the future)

I have set the the CWA App as active like in the picture and after a while not observing my iPhone, the active app is switching to another one I have installed without letting me know.

As a result I have to change the app back to the CWA and set it to active- The slider in CWA App to set it active I also need to reactivate.

ENFs are getting fetched from the Background Server in iOS 14. At leased on my device :-)

I would like to be part of Beta Test for CWA if there is any to help reporting back issues as tester. I know CWA is not supporting iOS14, but it will int he future and we should be prepared for it.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. CWA installed
2. Install immuni https://apps.apple.com/us/app/immuni/id1513940977
3. install SwissCovid https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/swisscovid/id1509275381
4. install https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/id1516581736?l=da actually I have deleted it to see what is happening. still appearing in the list
5. upgrade your iOS Device to iOS 14 dev Beta (I am using Beta 4 build 18A5342e)
6. make sure the CWA App is set active in the settings
7. Come back after some time and you will see a different app is set active even a non installed like the danish one

I do not recall after how many hours it is switching but it does

As of now I do not know if the bug is in iOS14 dev Beta 4 but would help to test and investigate

Technical details

• iOS Version: 14 built 18A5342e
• Device: iPhone 11 Pro Max

@RalphRichter
It seems like this is a bug in the iOS 14 Beta, you could use the _Feedback Assistent_ to report it to Apple.
We will wait for the Developers how they handle it, @tkowark what do you think?

[RalphRichter]

Already shared it, but I am assuming if we would report it from there project towards Apple, would have more pressure

@GPclips whats your opinion to this?

Hello @RalphRichter and @Ein-Tim,

the latest stable iOS version is 13.6. We recommend using stable versions, which are not in a beta state.
A region setting has been implemented recently in our Corona-Warn app, as you can check here: https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-app-ios/pull/1041.
Please be patient until a region feature becomes available, to determine the Corona-Warn app by its region. The topic has been addressed.

Thanks,
LMM

Corona-Warn-App Open Source Team

@RalphRichter I think it would be useful to close this issue to keep the Respositorie clean.
@GPclips said that the Topic has been addressed 👍

@tkowark Can you close this issue?

[tkowark]

Thanks for the reminder @Ein-Tim . After consulting with the dev team, we'll close this issue for now. Apple will likely continue working on that topic and we'll have some internal tests with a later version. We'll contact you directly @RalphRichter if we need further testers.
