v17.0.0

[carloscabanero]

The main focus of this release is to iron things out for iOS17. We already made sure we were in a good place for the last few weeks, but some of the fixes here could not be pushed until now. Please test these thoroughly.

If you have any other pesky bugs that we have not fixed yet or that we forgot, please send a reminder here. We have allocated some extra time in the next weeks for that.

Thanks a lot for the help!
