E' arrivata nella tarda serata di ieri la nuova versione
beta 4 di iOS 5, ancora una volta riservata agli sviluppatori software registrati. Anche in questo caso le novità sono parecchie, sia dal punto di vista delle funzionalità che per quanto riguarda l'eliminazione dei bug delle versioni precedenti. Il sistema operativo iOS 5 si avvia gradualmente alla maturità, in vista del suo rilasco in forma definitiva previsto entro la fine dell'estate. Nelle pagine successive pubblichiamo il change-log ufficiale (in inglese), con tutte le novità di iOS 5 beta 4 elencate nel dettaglio.
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.
- It is recommended that you disable Bookmarks on multiple accounts. If they are enabled, the results might be undefined.
- FIXED: 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.
- Switching into AirPay Video while using mirroring will leave the screen black but the video is still playing.
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.
- There is no new build for AppleTV for beta 4. Please continue using the build provided with beta 3.
Audio
- Using voice chat in iOS 5 requires setting the
kAudioSessionMode_VoiceChat mode on the Audio Session, or setting the AVAudioSessionModeVoiceChat mode on the AVAudioSession object.
