iPhone Beta 4 on dev!

[tacoman667]

"Beta release 4: The fourth beta adds support for Open GL ES within the iPhone
Simulator, rendering 3D graphics in the Simulator that mirror behavior on the iPhone
and iPod touch. There are new iPhone OS templates in the New Project and New
Target assistants. Code signing is now enforced on devices. See the "Known Issues"
section below for details."

Yay!

[MDMstudios]

Downloading it right now but my internet is going really slow right now 90 kbs : /

[himansk]

wooohooo
downloading as well. its slow, beta1 downloaded at over 1MBps for me, this time its just 150KBps :(

Edit:
It has AppStore, doesnt connect though
Itunes store now present as well
Show my caller ID added to Preferences->Phone

[atlandrew]

Something tells me they took something out....dmg is 200MB smaller!! We'll see.

p.s. When will I be able to test my app on my phone!?!? :confused:

Not until you get selected as a beta developer...or the end of June, whichever comes first. :rolleyes:

Very cool that you can now run the OpenGL apps on the simulator.

[actorkid]

the picture on apple's website looks weird....the picture of the iphone is all distorted...it looks short and fat

[stanleybostitch]

On first glance, I thought the image was off as well, but with a much larger version of the air in the background...can't wait for June to get here.

[bytethese]

Man, I should get my butt in gear and start coding some apps!!

[yayaba]

So does this finally fix the -10810 errors? Surprisingly, I had no time at all lately to work on my iPhone app ever since Beta 3 came out but I read that some people still had that error come up once in awhile.

[avigalante]

Why does the "calling all developers" tag line remind me of... "DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS!!!!!"

Two things:

1) confirmed link above is not rick roll
2) finally they changed the page

[L3X]

This obviously points to a 3G iPhone release. ;) :D

[Littleodie914]

Hmm... I'm getting an unknown error (5) installing the new iPod Touch firmware. Any ideas? :confused:

[admanimal]

Can anyone with the beta 4 firmware installed confirm whether or not their device is able to play DRMed iTunes music yet?

[Lepton]

They call all developers, I answer, but they won't let me in! One of my iPhone apps relies on the accelerometer and therefore I have to test it on a real phone, but they won't let me in the developer program! Grr. Been a Mac developer since 1985 but get no respect <straightening tie> no respect at all..

[mikey.f]

I wish the SDK updates would be available through software updates and not as standalone installers each time. Oh well... *downloads*

[SirOmega]

Yea I'm still waiting for my dev certificate too :( I wish they'd hurry up, I dont want to spend months developing apps to find out that I'm not included on launch day and miss out on a huge sales opportunity.

[cavemonkey50]

DRM music syncs and plays, the iTunes store has been readded, and the AppStore has been readded (although it reports a connection error).

[cavemonkey50]

Hmm... I'm getting an unknown error (5) installing the new iPod Touch firmware. Any ideas? :confused:

I had that issue. I had to attempt to restore down to 1.1.4 (it failed), but after that I could restore to the latest seed. Just make sure you have the new SDK installed first. I think that was my initial problem.

[chickenninja]

im so glad they put open GL in the iphone, that is sooo cool.

[admanimal]

DRM music syncs and plays, the iTunes store has been readded, and the AppStore has been readded (although it reports a connection error).

Excellent, thank you. That is the one thing that prevented me from keeping the beta firmware on my iPod for any length of time.

[BTW]

This obviously points to a 3G iPhone release. ;) :D

That would be cool, but I think the picture of the iPhone and Macbook Air have more to do with the iPhone Software 2.0, iPhone SDK, and future of Apple devices and mobile products.

The Macbook Air add more gestures to the track pad than previous Mac laptops and maybe Apple will open that up to customization.

I'd like to see some hints of the next OSX or at least the code name for it (Lion : Hear Mac roar! :eek:).

[jdsam]

It was time there was a new apple.com main page, that map was really getting to me.

P.S. sorry if someone already said this, i just needed to get it off my chest

[iphonewiz]

Excellent!

[cavemonkey50]

Scratch my earlier mention that the DRM files sync. It turns out I was playing iTunes plus songs (DRM free). My DRM iTunes purchases did not sync.

[himansk]

The new version of the iphone OS has AppStore

[SafariX]

Does anyone know how to enable Trust Certificates on the Exchange support of Beta 3 or Beta 4? My Exchange server requires a certificate, and the option is gone since Beta 2 to accept them!

[justflie]

Haha, ask and ye shall receive. The main page is changed for WWDC, although a small version of the map still appears at the bottom of the page. Steve can't bend THAT much to your demands... ;)

[asdavis10]

Does anyone know what the build number for the first SDK was?

[Mr.damien]

And still no non-US developper able to purchase the Apple developer programs for iPhone. Shameful :mad:

[ajbrehm]

Yay!

I would be more enthusiastic if I could finally use the SDK.

(And no, the emulator is not exciting fun.)

[djellison]

For a little hobby project, the iPhone will have dominated just about every major Apple announcement for 18 months. It's getting a bit tiring to be honest.

AppleTV is the hobby project, iPhone is Apple's brave new world after Mac and iPod. You may prefer the attention to be spent elsewhere, but it ain't happenin.

today at macrumors >>Apple changed their home page today with a photo of an iPhone and MacBook Air with the title "Calling all developers", reminding visitors that early registration for the World Wide Developer's Conference ends on April 25th, 2008.<<

If you compare with real mac book air you will notice, that the pics on the main page www.apple.com and the real mac book air are not the same!

The cut on the frontside edge near the touch pad is missing in the pic!!!

As a result, is this a symbolic photoshoped mba or is it one other (future style mb or mbp) on the offical apple page???

:confused:

They are really moving the SDK updates out. This is very exciting.

[macintel4me]

Anyone have any ideas what it takes to get registered into the iPhone Developer Program. I applied March 6th. This is getting ridiculous.

[spazzcat]

I had that issue. I had to attempt to restore down to 1.1.4 (it failed), but after that I could restore to the latest seed. Just make sure you have the new SDK installed first. I think that was my initial problem.

Did you do anything else. Right now my iPhone is an iPod Touch. It failed the first time because I didn't update the SDK, I downgraded to 1.1.4, but now when I install 2f, I just get a blank screen and nothing... Is there a way to wipe the iPhone completely???

[DaveTaylor]

Full screen safari works double tap the bar at the top.

I had the exact same problem, restoring to any of the older firmwares did not allow the upgrade process to work correctly. What I did was use iTunes instead to load the new firmware, option+restore in itunes, select the new firmware, iphone upgraded fine...

[DaveTaylor]

How does that work as the base system would be set for 1.1.4 or below, itunes wont have the access to change it to 2.0 unless it's been pwned?

[thecritix]

what if the air was going to receive the same 3g chip...

Giving mobile wireless 3g internet, that would make the air a truly portable laptop..

[newyorksole]

Full screen safari works double tap the bar at the top.

no way, you can view safari in full screen on the iphone now?

[spazzcat]

Thanks I will try that tonight. :)

himansk, I couldn't wait, so I tried it now at work and it works. Thanks for your help :D

[kakiser56]

I installed the SDK, however when I attempt to load a sample project and build it, Xcode tells me: error: There is no SDK with specified name or path 'Unknown Path'

I tried re-installing, and uninstalling and then installing, but still the same thing. Not sure what I did wrong, since previous updates all worked fine.

Second question, it sounds as if people are putting the latest firmware on their real iphones. Is this possible?

[spazzcat]

After the install with iTunes you still have to go into xcode and provision it before you can use the phone.

[DaveTaylor]

no way, you can view safari in full screen on the iphone now?

yes you can :) (cant tell if you where sarcastic or not?)

and spazzcat thank you for the clear up :)

I edited the project properties to make the project a iPhone 2.0 simulator and it appears fine now (well other than a few code errors).

Second question remains though, are people installing 2.0 on their real phones?

[krye]

Apple brags about 200K developers. Are those the people that plunked down the $99? Or are they just people that registered at ADC and downloaded the SDK? I wonder, because I bet most of the people downloaded it just to tinker around with it. Just because you jailbroke your iPhone doesn't mean you're a developer. After a week when the novelty wears off and people realize they don't know Objective-C and Cocoa, you'll see that 90% of those "developers" weren't really developers at all.

[newyorksole]

yes you can :) (cant tell if you where sarcastic or not?)

and spazzcat thank you for the clear up :)

nah I'm not being sarcastic, I think that is pretty cool, Apple is moving forward

I have to agree with you. I remember when it was first released so many people were posting here they were downloading it "just to check it out" but had never programmed before and had no intention of signing up for the $99 program. Then there were all those who downloaded believing it gave them the iPhone 2.0 software that they could put on their iPhones. Oy!

...

I've been running the beta firmware on my own iPhone. The first version was pretty buggy, and the second version expired a day before the next version came out, but so far it's mostly been okay.
It would have been smarter to just pick up an iPod touch instead of risking my primary phone, but I wanted to use the audio input in my app.

[ZeeG]

DRM music syncs and plays, the iTunes store has been readded, and the AppStore has been readded (although it reports a connection error).
Mine doesn't sync DRM musics movies - I mean, not everyone. Some of them.
Interestingly some DRM musics were synced and played.

Yea I'm still waiting for my dev certificate too :( I wish they'd hurry up, I dont want to spend months developing apps to find out that I'm not included on launch day and miss out on a huge sales opportunity.I want to submit my accelerometer-based app to the awards competition, but having an inability to test it at all puts a damper on development. :cool: Submissions need to be feature complete by May 12. And you are right about opening day, people will be just itching to try out a few new apps.

[schimanke]

By the way folks, there are some little new features. The seem to have optimized contact search and added new domain endings.

looks like this work for letters too...try holding the "A" key...

[jimN]

The stuff with the letters is in on 1.1.4. The addition of extra domains is new, currently we get a choice of .com and .co.uk over here.

Good to know...I never held down my keys :)

[himansk]

Just noticed the EDIT functionality in mail app (email list) is also changed, now new buttons for Delete and Move come up at the bottom of the list, a circle next to each email in the list. When an email is touched an arrow covers the circle on each email item in the list. So now bulk delete and move are implemented in a better way.

[newyorksole]

Bulk delete has been found weeks ago and so was contact search

The new domains are new though, thank goodness because I was wondering where this feature was.

Can someone post a picture of the full screen safari?

[schimanke]

newyorksole, contact search is indeed nothing new. They just improved the look of it. Here are the screenshots for comparison between SDK3 and SDK4:

http://www.schimanke.com/uploads/technik/Apple/contactsearch2.png

http://www.schimanke.com/uploads/technik/Apple/contactsearch3.png

Fullscreen Safari doesn't seem to work with the iPhone simulator. I'd also like to see a screenshot.

[turinreza]

was wondering , i have a C library that depends on glib and libxml
and want to know if i can put those on the IPHone OS?
if so, what's the best way to call this C Libary? do i just do a carbon
wrapper or just include the headers directly in the XCode?

thanks

[newyorksole]

yeah I saw what you mean between those 2 pics

Also, how do I put groups on my iPhone? I would like to use the feature. I know it has to do with a program on the computer, but can someone tell me how to do it so that I can have groups on my phone please.

[schimanke]

newyourksole, it depends indeed on your computer application. In case you use a Mac I guess you use Addressbook for your contacts. You just have to create the groups you want to have on your iPhone on the left hand side. Should you use Outlook, you will have to create subfolders under your contacts-folder. The name of the subfolder will be the name of the group on the iPhone.

[The Phazer]

The stuff with the letters is in on 1.1.4. The addition of extra domains is new, currently we get a choice of .com and .co.uk over here.

Do we? How? The list on my iPhone (UK, bought from O2 on launch day, never jailbroken, running 1.14) doesn't. Hold the button down and the only option and the menu extends, but .com is the only option on it...

Still no horizontal keyboard in mail etc?

EDIT: Sorry, works now - I didn't have UK Keyboard turned on. But that's very odd, because I've never changed that setting (I didn't even know it was there until now...), so is it not enabled by default when your international setting is United Kingdom?

[newyorksole]

thanks schimanke

[dizastor]

That's been on the iPhone since day one... at least on mine. :)

lol.

[daegloe]

FYI - The additional TLDs (.net, .edu, .org, etc) are in Beta 3 as well.

[kakiser56]

I only have one iPhone, so I have to use my real one for testing :)

If I just waited a little bit I would have seen the email for the new firmware (we are in the enterprise beta program).

[roosta]

is the beta 2 firmware included with this release?

[yvovandoorn]

exchange seems better then the last build. email would keep flaking on me when i would lock the phone when it was in mobilemail.app.

[bacaramac]

Can anyone verify if apple has enabled 64Bit Movie encodes via handbrake? Use iPod High Rez setting and check 64bit option.

Please let me know if this works as I would like to start encoding moives in 64bit.

[turinreza]

i just created Cocoa Touch Application and didn't change anything.. it's stuck on compiling the XIB file.. and never finishes compiling... not sure where to go..
i uninstalled everything from /developer/ and sudo ran the uninstall and then reinstalled
everything but same problem...

i removed the code signing and still stuck on xib IB ..
i never opened the xib file.. if i do. IB gets stuck..

i tried deploying to simulator but doesn't matter never gets past the compilation of xib file
any ideas?

[turinreza]

strange.. the cocoa touch library seems to be the cause of hanging..

there are no cocoa touch library items like in beta 3...

any way to get those installed?

[Duke Leto]

noo... they should do the lion and then move on

Nah.. lion doesn't sound cool enough, when there's Pumas/Cougars

..

okay okay compromise: Mountain Lion.
