iOS 11.2.1 HomeKit Remote Sharing Fix
A major HomeKit security bug surfaced last week. It allowed unauthorized access to HomeKit compatible accessories like smart locks, light bulbs and more. Apple fixed it immediately server-side, however this quick repair required disabling of the remote access for shared users. Now, the bug has been properly fixed and remote access has been restored to all users that update to iOS 11.2.1.
Fact: iOS 11.2.1 comes with build number 15C153.
