Apple Seeds First Betas of iOS 7.1, Apple TV Software to Developers

I would be happy if all they did was return the .com button to the keyboard. That's such a simple key, but is a big time saver. Why did they get rid of it?

iOS 7 went to a unified search/address bar and in beta 1 and 2, the .com button was there. However it was so super easy to press it by mistake and it was a big complaint. I know I cursed it every single day during the beta stages because it was just way too easy to hit it by mistake.
 
Pulling down on banner notifications has become an ugly experience. There's a transparent duplicate of the notification below the notification centre as you drag it downwards
 
Still no WebKit memory management fix?

For those that don't experience this when answering a long Disqus powered comment threads the web page can get massively bigger than the memory size and obvious memory paging when trying to reply and with each new line wrap. Problem is the paging is very crash prone andyou can crash back to springboard an occasionally a total iOS reset. Happens so often on my iPad 3 I never reply to a thread live but use Notes and then paste the reply in, and still happens frequently on the iPhone 5s too.

Must be WebKit since it doesn't matter which browser app you use.

As far as I'm concerned its the most serious bug in ios7
 
I was hoping the Music app had been changed. The "now playing" screen in the Apple Remote app is much, much superior to the Music app. It's absolutely gorgeous.
 
Anyone else having an issue starting new message threads from their phone number? Mine is not giving me the option to decide where the threads are started from, and anything send to my cell number is coming through as SMS.

EDIT! NVM! It was fixed by a toggle on/off of iMessage

For those asking about the new "darken colors" option under "increase contrast" in accessibility...

I found that Apple's blue buttons have a slightly darker shade of blue when "darken colors" is turned on. There may be other areas in OS that may be slightly darker, but this is what I found so far...

The image on the left has "darken colors" turned on. Note that the 'Settings' and 'Edit' buttons have a slightly darker shade shade of blue than the buttons on the image on the right. I like the buttons better with "darken colors" turned on.

Thanks. That sort of seems nicer. However, it would be good if it did somewhat more than just that and/or in more places.
 
Every time I win the dark keyboard lottery, my eyes feel like I've stepped in from a glaring desert.

Accessibility > Dark Keyboard? Yes please.
 
Id like an option to disable spotlight. I've never used it since it was introduced to the iPhone.

It pissed me off in the old location and it pisses me off even more in the new location.
 
This is one of my favorite glitches. The words don't even fit in the box!

Is it still best to install big updates like this as a new phone, rather than an update?

I typically did that with all the iOS 7 Betas. It just takes a long time.
 
I'm wondering why developers get a pre-release version of Apple TV software if Apple doesn't have a 3rd party App Store yet. What apps do they have to test out on this new software, or what are they supposed to be testing? Just stability?
 
Hopefully they fix the mess that is the Music App and iTunes Match in iOS 7. Stability was one of the things I've come to expect and appreciate about iOS but iTunes Match and the Music app are a buggy and unreliable mess right now.

Yeah, developers are used as more forgiving members of the public who will use the products in normal everyday life and report back on problems. Rather than Apple giving it to the public and being slated that it has problems from the whole population.
