Apple withdraws iCloud 12 update on Windows for containing bugs

When new software is released, it is always at the expense that it may suffer an error and that users have to deal with it. It is not normal, but it can happen. This is what happened with version 12 of iCloud that Apple has launched for Windows operating systems. It contained an error and the American company has decided to withdraw the update until it has been resolved.

A couple of days ago Apple launched the new version of iCloud for Windows. number 12. In principle, nothing would have to happen and many users updated. Along with it, iCloud Passwords for Chrome was also launched. This addition allowed the using Apple's Keychain password feature in Google Chrome, allowing saved credentials to be used in the browser within Windows. The most knowledgeable gutted her to see the news she brought and realized that there was a problem.

Specifically from The 8-bit speculate with the possibility that the problem lies precisely in that extension for the Chrome browser. Some users discovered that after the Chrome extension was installed, a two-factor authentication code appeared in the lower left corner of the browser, regardless of the website visited.

For this reason Apple has withdrawn the update and for now only accessible version 11.6.32.0, not version 12, which indicates that Apple downgraded the version. Taking into account that we are talking about a security problem, it is logical that Apple has made the decision to eliminate that version until it checks, first if the problem exists, secondly, if the problem exists, launch it with the appropriate solution.

We do not know when the corrected version can be released and therefore without problems. We will be attentive to it and if something comes out, we will inform.
