Apple Releases iOS 7.1 Beta 3 to Developers

[WildCowboy]

I'm getting this from the original article on page 1 of this thread:

"The company also lists several known issues, suggesting that iOS 7.1 is not yet ready for public release.

According to a recent report, iOS 7.1 will see a lengthy testing period with a public release coming in March. Beta 3's release notes indicate that a number of known issues remain with iOS 7.1, which must be fixed before the software can see a general release."

Yep, goofed during the editing/updating process. Fixed it...thanks.

No OTA update for me yet, I'm on iOS 7.1 Beta 2, did you gets get prompted to update?

Hope to see a new version of the Safari icon without the whitespace in the next beta. (That is the only icon that slightly bothers me)

I didn't! Just went in and checked update and it was there.

I hope they fix the bug with Safari that crashes every time memory is full.

I did. Setting> general> software update>

Well, all the previous developer betas have come with release notes listing several known issues. The part about release in March etc. is all conjecture. We don't know Apples plans etc.

Also I don't see many known issues in b3, just a couple...

Someone's a headline-only reader...

No I read the whole thing but the second it was written that was not on there.

Thank you...I just re-read your article.

On iPhone 4 shutdown screen is a little awkward.

Disable the parallax by turning Reduce Motion on - problem fixed. It's not a bug.

But do you need to do that anymore? Now when you set the wallpaper there's an option for "motion" on that very screen. There is a screenshot many posts above.

EDIT: Nope, apparently you don't. Thank you, Poster Who Got There Before Me.

Keyboard

For the guy who wanted a keyboard shot...

For the guy who wanted a keyboard shot...

That's with bold text enabled, right?

For the guy who wanted a keyboard shot...

Turn off bold and send another screenshot, please.

For the guy who wanted a keyboard shot...

Do you have bold text enabled?

 

[Stuke00]

I can't see a difference in the keyboards. Maybe I will need to compare side by side.

 

[C DM]

Turn off bold and send another screenshot, please.

Seems like the article for this thread now has the keyboard screenshot in it, so you can see it there essentially.

 

[Stuke00]

That's with bold text enabled, right?

He must have Bold on. Mine looks nothing like that.

 

[adwebinc]

PLEASE just fix the following:

• Allow me to delete my voicemails
• Fix the fingerprint reader
• Prevent Safari from crashing

PLEASE?!?!?

Keyboard...

 

[pacmania1982]

Bold turned off....

 

[C DM]

Bold turned off....

That looks the same as the previous one and doesn't seem like the bold is turned off--looks different than the rest of the screenshots of the keyboard (without bold enabled).

Does anyone remember this many bugs in iOS6?

It seems Apple is admitting there is too many bugs and 7.1 will be released in March....it just seems like they were not ready for this release...I just don't understand how they could NOT have been ready.

Tell me what bugs you know of in 7.1 beta. The only one I know is the Multitasking from open app Status bar merge glitch that's been around since early 7.0 beta. Since then, the rest i just developer compatibility glitches with the new Xcode and iOS 7.

Software is not easy to just "fix". Sometimes, you need a lot of research to find the best possible solution so you don't introduce more unexpected bugs.

Have you ever released a software update to 100's of millions of people around the globe? Probably not.
