iPhone SDK 3.2 goes gold, seeded to paying dev program members

Us freeloaders still have a bit of a wait left, it seems, but paying members of Apple's iPhone Developer Program (which now services iPad devs, too) now have access to the Gold Master seed of the iPhone SDK for OS 3.2. This is a pretty big deal since it's the very first version of the operating system to support the iPad, of course -- and seeing how the first volley of iPads hits retail this weekend, it couldn't come at a better time. Let us know if you find anything wild in this new build, and we'll do the same, alright?

[Thanks, Kory H.]

Unless it came earlier. Cupertino security measures.

AOL will pay for the crummy download speed they have given me. It says "5 days 2 hours" left to download, in Firefox

[Dale P Posted Mar 29th 2010 8:16PM]

@Lord Vader Mine says 12 hours on Comcast... I would say this sub 40KB download is the slowest my connection has ever run.

@Lord Vader Forgive us Lord Vader

The 2 devices are far too different to have the same SDK in my opinion. The drastically different screen sizes is more than enough. It will severely limit the already limited ipad (still think that is the worst possible name they could have come up with)

Case and point...

@aschettler
Lame played out joke =/= funny.

[The Prince Posted Mar 29th 2010 10:42PM]

@SolidSnake

I agree that its not funny, but it is always the first thing that pops into my head. And if I were apple I would not want my product to be associated with a feminine hygiene item.

@Proverb
There is no forgiveness for traitors.

Seeing what developers are able to do with the SDK in just a few months still blows my mind. I'm really looking forward to seeing what's coming up next.

Yay almost time for geohot and the greenpois0n team to release their secrets!!

Finnaly a jailbreak for my 3gs

[purfikt Posted Mar 29th 2010 11:32PM]

@Massive Poop My 3gs has been jailbroken for months. Maybe you shouldn't have upgraded to 3.1.3 without thinking.

[SolidSnake Posted Mar 31st 2010 7:07PM]

@purfikt
Maybe he bought it recently and it shipped with 3.1.3.

"Seeded to paying dev program members"... and seeded to those on BitTorrent at this rate.

[beaups Posted Mar 29th 2010 9:51PM]

@dragonfli

Except if you aren't part of the developer program you won't be able to activate your phone once you put the firmware on it. I remember how many people temp-bricked their iphones by running with the 3.0 GM.

[DingoJunior Posted Mar 29th 2010 9:41PM]

Um, sorry Kory, but if we told you anything about it we'd be breaking our NDA!

[purfikt Posted Mar 29th 2010 11:33PM]

@DingoJunior You are lame AND dumb...Kory didn't write the article, he was the tipper.

[DingoJunior Posted Mar 30th 2010 2:28AM]

@purfikt Oh, yeah, look at that. Oh well, so I'm lame and dumb coz I glanced too quickly and made an honest mistake. But at least I'm not an obnoxious prick.

[ashleythehottiest Posted Mar 29th 2010 10:24PM]

For Your
Apple? WTF?

[Nick Starchild Posted Mar 29th 2010 10:57PM]

@ashleythehottiest I'm pretty sure you'll find F Y is a variant of the popular phrase 'FU'.

[ashleythehottiest Posted Mar 30th 2010 12:59AM]

Oh makes sense.

[NickMMI Posted Mar 30th 2010 6:09AM]

Downloaded the SDK and rebuilt my iPad App that had been accepted by Apple, and resubmitted, bodyCal2 - http://mmisoftware.co.uk/ipad/bodycal2 - all worked OK. I guess the iTunes Store is going to have a busy few days checking App rebuild. Deadline for re-submission is Wednesday 31 March, 2010, 5 PDT

I'm waiting for the iEmbedded; skip all hardware - mount it all right to the grey matter.
