Prosegue la messa a punto di Apple del nuovo sistema operativo iOS 5, il cui debutto in forma definitiva è previsto in autunno con il lancio del nuovo iPhone 5. Da alcune ore è a disposizione degli sviluppatori registrati la nuova beta 3 di iOS 5, per iPhone 4, iPhone 3G S, iPad , iPad 2, Apple TV e la terza e quarta generazione di iPod Touch. Le novità di iOS 5 beta 3 sono davvero parecchie e le riportiamo nel change-log ufficiale (in inglese) nelle pagine di questo articolo. Per installare il nuovo sistema operativo è necessario installare anche iTunes 10.5 beta 3 sul proprio computer.
Notes and Known Issues
The following issues relate to using the 5.0 SDK to develop code.
Accounts
- When creating an iCloud account you can use any Apple ID provided it is a full email address and not a MobileMe account. If you have a MobileMe account, you can copy data from that account to an iCloud account to use during testing. You can find more information on iCloud at: http://developer.apple.com/icloud
- When setting up an iCloud or MobileMe account using the setup assistant and leaving Find My iPhone on, it might actually turn Find my iPhone off after the setup. Please verify in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendar/YourAccount that Find my iPhone is toggled On after leaving the setup assistant.
- There is a problem finding a device using Find My iPhone on the MobileMe website (www.me.com) when switching from iCloud back to MobileMe. To workaround this issue:
- On the device go to Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendar->
@me.com and Toggle Find My iPhone off and back on. Now the device should show up on MobileMe website.
- It is recommended that you disable Bookmarks on multiple accounts. If they are enabled, the results might be undefined.
- NEW: In this beta the option of “Choosing a security question” is not working during an iCloud account setup.
AirPlay
- Starting in iOS 5, video content in applications and websites are AirPlay-enabled by default.
- iOS 5 supports AirPlay of video via AV Foundation.
- FIXED: The Apple TV screen saver may degrade mirroring performance over AirPlay. The screen saver can be disabled in Apple TV settings.
Apple TV
- Apple TV Software beta enables users to mirror the contents of an iPad 2 to an Apple TV (2nd generation) using AirPlay. This beta software also enables Photo Stream on Apple TV so users can access photos stored in iCloud. Apple TV Software beta is being provided to test the latest AirPlay functionality with your iOS 5 apps and web sites. If you wish to install Apple TV Software beta on your device, you must first register your device UDID in the iOS Developer Program Portal.
