iOS 4.0 Gold Master SDK publicly released
The iOS 4.0 gold master SDK (not release candidate) is now available for download from Apple. All members of Apple's developer program (not just paid members) can access the iOS 4.0 SDK, with its enhanced APIs. As in the past, the ongoing NDA for the iPhone version of iOS 4.0 is expected to be revoked as the GM is put out for public developer consumption. So what's next? Apple is expected to put its latest iPad iOS 4 SDK into beta soon as well as the new Game Center functionality. Meanwhile, developers are anxiously anticipating the general beta of the new Xcode 4.0. If you are a paid or online developer and you haven't watched the Developer Tools State of the Union, you really should head on over to do so at your earliest convenience. It's an amazingly exciting time to be developing for iOS and Mac OS X.
Apple rolling iBooks out across iOS 4 devices, get your Winnie the Pooh now
No shock and awe here, Apple's already given us plenty of warnings, but we thought we'd drop you a friendly note to say that if you've upgraded to iOS 4 early, your copy of Winnie the Pooh is flying at you right this minute. Tipsters point out that they get a notification encouraging them to download the heretofore iPad-exclusive iBooks app, though they're finding they have to do it via their desktop iTunes client rather than over the air. Ah well, Apple's probably being extra cautious with moving those big wooden bookshelves into the smaller dimensions of your iPhone or iPod touch. We've not been able to get the app running on our iPhone 3G, so perhaps this is another of those features you're not going to be able to enjoy on older hardware -- we hope it's just us though.
