Anyone unable to configure their widgets on iOS 27?

I can edit a widget’s configuration but that doesn’t have any effect on the widget. I’m seeing this in the simulator and I have some users seeing it on-device.

Is this a known issue or are there workarounds?

I have managed to diagnose two issues:

Some widget configuration intents always resolve to default values in the iOS 26.5 and 27.0b1 simulators. FB23075373
iOS 27: Widget configuration limited to a single item for [AppEntity] collection parameters backed by EntityStringQuery — basically, the whole widget config UI is busted arrays of entities if you're relying on EntityStringQuery to support search across a large set of entities. FB23114212
