Known Issues

  • There's known issue that for iPhones/iPads Diagnostics the 'fully automated' option doesn't work well after erase. Only at random times Diagnostics app gets fully launched.
  • There's three "Osascript" trust queries seen at BEAD's first launch after installation and all of them should be trusted. In case those trust queries are not validated instantly and those get expired the BEAD launch fails (MacOS default 120s). If that happens BEAD can be re-started and when trust queries are validated in time BEAD will launch successfully.
  • Please note that sometimes when setting the Macs automatically to DFU mode using the DFU cable solution the UI tooltip might not update as expected and doesn't ask to switch to processing port to free the DFU cable. In that case once the mac is in DFU mode, cable can be swapped and erasure is expected to start. Except Macbook Pro M3 ( (A2918) model that must be kept connected to DFU cable only also during the erasure.
  • USB cables should be kept connected to Macs during the erasure else erasure doesn't finish in BEAD.
