The iOS 15.1 Beta 2 has just been released by Apple one week after the release of the first beta. iOS 15. 1 includes the return of SharePlay and updates to the Apple Wallet and Apple Health app for storing COVID-19 vaccination cards. Today’s new release of the iOS 15. 1 beta 2 is available to developers through an over-the-air update in the Settings app. As expected, if the update does not immediately appear for download, you can keep checking, as it sometimes takes a few minutes to roll to all registered developers. The build number of iOS 15.1 beta 1 is 19B5052f.

That means you’ll no longer need the SharePlay Development Profile for the feature to work. Also, users can now upload their COVID-19 vaccination status in the health app and generate a vaccination card in Apple Wallet. Now this will be useful for places that need proof of vaccination.
