Apple Releases iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 Golden Masters to Developers

[Goodeye]

Public Beta is out. Simple Question. What is a Golden Master?

Basically the software development way of saying Public Release which is basically done for developers so they can make sure their stuff works on the final public release.

Installing now
iPadOS 14 GM seed (18A373)

There’s no way it’s ready for prime time.

Ive tried both updating manually and restoring from the image both fail 😒

Aah well, I was being highly impatient, I'm just gonna have to wait 24 hours like everyone else 😁

I would install GM iOS 14 if there was an IPSW but looks like it's not yet available.

Its annoying as I was going to update two iPad's and iPhone's using the same image. Ahh well...

24hr from GM to release got to be. A first

Probably 24 hours after that for 14.1

It's not working doing it this route, requires the download of an additional software update that is nowhere to be found 🧐

The attention paid to iOS 14 and the Summer's release schedule shows how little Apple seems to care about Mac OS. More and more I get the feeling the desktop is secondary in the Apple scheme of things.

Well,Mac sales make up less than 10% of their revenue so no wonder it’s not exactly a priority.

Does pokemon go work yet lol?

I wonder if we can restore via Xcode 12 GM.

Doesn't macOS typically come out later?

So if I wanted to install the iOS 14 GM (Public) I would just install the current profile for the public beta, download it, do the same for the watch.

Then when both are done remove the profile so I continue on standard public releases?

Do I have that correct?

Pretty much.

yes. Exactly how I’ve jumped on the iOS GM each year, then immediately switched back to stay on the public release track for subsequent point updates.

Correct, once you have the GM version you can delete the beta profile because you are now on the public release cycle. If you want to stay on the beta train, Apple will release 14.1 beta profiles.

I’m concerned about another generation of bugs. I’m still getting the small icons, occasional respiring, and widget issues with DB8.

I agree. I still get the occasional animation lag when exiting apps or scrolling within apps. I’m thinking it has to do with apps being optimized for iOS 14? Looking forward to seeing what third-party apps do with the new widget design. I’ve been having fun with TestFlight and third-party widgets on iOS 14 😎

The fact that developers are scrambling upon hearing the news that iOS 14 will be released tomorrow doesn't seem promising for 3rd party apps to be updated on launch.

If you really want 3rd party apps with iOS 14 support, I would say hold off on updating.

 

[Toratek]

Downloading the ios14 public release now. No reference to beta on the downloads for either iOS or iPadOS.

Nice! Now I can finally start to workout

lol! I was just saying the same thing. Living room work outs here I come 😅

Or wait until tomorrow when it should be all publicly released.

Iphone 6s, IMHO the last great iphone, is on its last legs with IOS 14....
