Slo-mo videos play at normal speed. Importing Live Photos into iPhoto and Aperture will cause the loss of the video portion of Live Photos. Apple Pay Starting an Apple Pay for Web session on Mac will result in an empty payment sheet being presented if iPhone doesn’t have a payment card provisioned. When billing address is required, the handoff sheet on iPhone requires Touch ID even though Touch ID is not enabled on that iPhone. App Store App updates and re-download of apps may not work. CloudKit Saving a child record with its parent property set to nil can sometimes fail. Developer ID apps that are provisioned for CloudKit will quit unexpectedly when launched outside of Xcode.

Finder Users sharing their home directory between macOS 10.12 and OS X 10.11 may get an exception in the OS X 10.11 Finder when opening a window in List view, because their ~/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.finder.plist has had unexpected data written to it by the macOS 10.12 Finder. ImageIO Saving optimized images using kCGImageDestinationOptimizeColorForSharing is not available. iPhoto Importing Live Photos into iPhoto and Aperture will cause the loss of the video portion of Live Photos.

Faces and Scenes are not processed. Safari The Web Content process may exit unexpectedly if shipping method is set to None and Shipping Address is required. If your Safari App Extension quits unexpectedly with a DYLD error message stating that the libswiftSafariServices.dylib could not be loaded, do a clean build of the containing app. Safari may quit unexpectedly when clicking into the address bar. Workaround: Type a URL into the address bar, or wait until browsing history has completed loading.
