Status:Open Resolved:
Product:iOS SDK Product Version:iOS 9.0 Beta
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Using reloadContentBlockerWithIdentifier on iOS 9.0 beta 1 works in Xcode 7 beta 1 Simulator, but not a physical device running iOS 9 Beta 1.  Sample project https://github.com/bettin/BlockAnalytics

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build app with ContentBlocker Extension
2. Enable Safari extension
3. Edit blockerList.json and save
4. Rebuild app to device
5. App executes reloadContentBlockerWithIdentifier on launch
6. Open safari and notice the blocker hasn’t updated

Expected Results:
Expected the Safari extension rules to update to blockerList.json without manually changing on/off in Settings > Safari > Content Blockers.

Actual Results:
Safari Content blocker rules do not update. Console outputs the following error when using on a physical device when the rebuilt app launches.
Optional(Error Domain=ContentBlockerErrorDomain Code=1 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (ContentBlockerErrorDomain error 1.)")

Regression:
Occurs on iPhone 5 physical device (iOS 9 beta 1). Safari content blocker rules update correctly on Xcode 7 beta 1 iPhone 5 simulator.
