There’s a feature I’d like to use on iOS. It has already been requested on Radar and people from Apple say that they will probably implement it. Is there a way to get to the particular bug report in Radar so that I can watch the progress? I know I can’t see other people’s bug reports on Radar. What if I file a duplicate bug report, will that let me know when the original bug closes? I know about Open Radar, but the request in question is not there.
Apple engineers have been assigned to read bug reports and fix problems. Take advantage of the attention and report any bugs you find. More beta releases will come in July and August. Test each one, to see if your bugs are fixed, and look for regressions, which are previously working features that broke.
The app is installed through SwitchBoard for confidential use within Apple. It can be accessed by typing rdar:// in the address bar of Safari on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Any bugs you have experienced should be reported to Apple through the Feedback Assistant, which can be accessed at feedbackassistant.apple.com. If you're running a beta version of iOS or macOS, Feedback Assistant will be available as an app installed on your device.
A bug report contains device logs, stack traces, and other diagnostic information to help you find and fix bugs in your app.
Things changed since Brian's answer.
Apple added a new feature in BugReporter. If your bug is marked as a duplicate, a new section will appear that will show the state of the original bug report. You can then follow the state of your bug there.
When I've filed bugs in Radar, if they're a duplicate then they get marked as closed. In other words, you won't get status info on the original bug by filing a duplicate.
Apple doesn't expose their bug tracking database to the world for several reasons. Firstly, some recorded bugs contain private information from customers. Secondly, exposing their product's flaws to the world may have ramifications from a security standpoint. Opening up Radar to the public would make it impossible to privately disclose a vulnerability.
There may be other reasons too, but Apple's not talking about them. We all know how Apple can be with secrecy.
