Apple Releases iOS 6 Golden Master to Developers

[QuarterSwede]

question, does passbook work? cause every time I launch the app it just says what it does and theres nothing else I can do.

You have to have put in a pass (had a retailer, etc make one for you) for it to show up. You can make some fake ones at passk.it

They are all on i-m-z-d-l - I'm downloading a torrent link right now. I'm not a dev.. so I hope I don't brick my phone.

I just bricked my 3GS with their IPSW... be careful with that website. Anyone know where I could find a good image of iOS6 to restore my phone? PM me... many thanks.

Played with fire... got burnt

Strange. I used them for all of the previous betas from 4 on and they always worked. Just make sure the download wasn't corrupt. I have had that happen before (even from Apple).

MD5s (from the Apple Dev site ipsw)

iPhone 4 GSM: 7323c6b0bac1a367d1ae59b2897b7e89
iPad 2 WiFi (2,1 the older one): a0e685753cd7e49c8717d3947ece258a

I'm stuck with a "connect to iTunes" screen... even though the whole upgrade process looked to unfold flawlessly...

What's the MD5?

I'm downloading the DMG now, I'm guessing I just do a custom restore in iTunes. Where does the MD5 come in?

An example would be someone buying you a gift card on Starbuck's website and the site emails you a link which when tapped asks you if you want to keep a pass for the gift card.

Or an airline boarding pass is sent to you which includes a link to download it into Passbook.

Since iOS 6 hasn't officially launched no retailer will provide passes yet.

it's a cryptographic hash of a file.
just open the terminal app and type in: md5, hit space, drop in the downloaded file and hit enter.
wait and you will get the numbers.

whooops.
Got it installed after re-restoring the phone with the downloaded IPSW.

I was honestly feeling I was a dick. It is 2:30 am here and I don't have anything else than my phone to wake me up tomorrow morning to go to work. I was already looking for alarm clock apps on the Mac App Store...
Sounds like a good lesson - dear friends, if you need your phone on a daily basis, wait one more week and upgrade as per normal process, with normal customer support if anything turns wrong...

[jableskg]

So i did the md5 check with terminal and the numbers match.. So that means everything should be good, correct??

Panorama mode for the 4S as far as I know. Plus new iTunes probably.

Not found any new stuff, however, there were a "dimming" bug when I woke my phone and that is now fixed

Thanks guys!

is iOS 6 still fast on the 4S?

 

[jableskg]

Thanks guys

Sorry, but we are not allowed to share the link to such files.
Try asking your friend Google, maybe something like "download ios 6 gm imz".

He may not be as rude as I am, and may actually tell you something useful.

Having iOS6 be good to go with a 3GS phone and not the first-gen iPad is a pretty serious FU from apple.

For a 500 dollar plus device to go from introduction to "ready for the landfill" in less than a 1000 days is pretty sad.

the hardware can't take it. The original iPad barely has enough RAM to run iOS 5, so imagine running iOS 6... it would be unbearable...

 

[QuarterSwede]

Thanks guys!

Yes. Fantastic. It's really quite a good update.

 

[beinhorn]

and btw the torrent is the same md5 as the dev store gm for the 4

You BRICKED your device by updating iOS? I really doubt that.

 

[voyagerd]

Updated my 4S. It went very smoothly.

iOS 6’s Safari seems snappier.

 

[Shanpdx]

any links for non developer here? Thanks.

Anyone figure out how to convert an @me.com address to an @icloud.com one as was mentioned a while back in one of the betas? Haven't been able to figure it out yet...
