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

[skwood]

In good news my App Store now shows the correct number of updates rather than doubling it. Only just noticed as FB messenger update just hit.

 

[cclloyd]

Safari....

...definitely snappier.

You get a pass...

...this time.

 

[Sub.0]

Facetime

Didn't want to go through all the pages, but was there any talk about giving back the ability to have Facetime call a specific e-mail or phone number if they are all connected through the same Apple ID?

Example I do not want my iPhone, iPad, and iMac all ringing at the same time if someone Facetimes me.

Holiday Calendar appears as a Fetch Push account now.

 

[luckydcxx]

Luckydcxx, can you send a link to your wallpaper? Seems nice.

It is one of the default "stills". Middle row ... last one.

 

[skwood]

so this means on ipad finally the close gesture is usable and not broken anymore??????

yes!

 

[Sirious]

So glad they fixed the pinch to close gesture on iPad. Can't wait to update to 7.1 for that feature alone

 

[ics55]

IPhone 5s - pass code still required immediately on lock?

Any chance they restored the ability to delay pass code or finger swipe once locked?

Videos (example TED) playing in a App will now play live in multitasking. Also same with the camera.

Is that new!?

No, live Camera in Multitasking isn't new. Already there on iOS 7.0.4.

No, live Camera in Multitasking isn't new. Already there on iOS 7.0.4.

It's only live if it's the most recently used app (ie the one just to the right of your home screen). This goes for playing videos, etc.

If you open another app, then go to multitasking, the new app is the live app, and the camera/video app will no longer be live.

My Apple TV just received an update - downloading now. Is this related?

 

[Breckenridge]

I hope the update will speed up the UI on the iPad 3. Sine I updated to to iOS 7 it runs a bit sluggish just like my original kindle fire?!

 

[DaveOP]

I'm not very excited by this 7.1 beta. I just put it on my ipad3 and is seems to not be much different.

Are you a developer? These betas are not for new features, they're for bug fixes and API's. Even if they do add some features, it'll be near the GM of the beta. These are not meant for people to install just to expect new things.

Bug Reporter right now...

"An error has occurred. Please report the error to Apple Inc. by emailing the error detail to bugreportersupport@apple.com."

The irony!

 

[jonnysods]

Two things I long for:

To get my battery life back
To get from facetime camera working again (it crashes all the time, just freezes)

 

[zone23]

I guess my question is on the iOS Dev Center I don't see the iOS 7.0.4 ipsw for the 5s or the Air. So how can I restore back to 7.0.4? Will iTunes restore it back.

High horse much?

Camera app isnt live in multitasking on my iPhone (most recent app). Its still image. iOS 7.0.4

The irony!

this happens to me EVERYTIME i try to report a bug and people on here complain that non-devs dont report bugs!

 

[viperGTS]

Videos (example TED) playing in a App will now play live in multitasking. Also same with the camera.

Is that new!?

Nope, happens in 7.0.3 as well. Still pretty cool though.

 

[GTPprix]

****. Upgraded on my 5S, everything seems OK EXCEPT my Alert tones. ANYTIME I choose an Alert tone in the "new iOS7" group IE not in the classic group ALL of them make the "note" sound. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've never seen anything like this before. Did the normal reboot :\

 

[fabsgwu]

Quick Reply

Probably not. I've been waiting for this to happen throughout all of the iOS revisions, and it never happens. But at least with 7.1 there will probably be a jailbreak so you can hop on Cydia and grab one of the good programs that does this (such as biteSMS.)

I think there is hope for Quick Reply coming to iMessage notifications in iOS given that it is now included in OS X Mavericks notifications. However, I bet Apple will wait till iOS 8 to introduce this "revolutionary" new feature to their mobile OS. Slow and steady improvement seems to be the manta at Apple.

Can anybody confirm if animations are quicker? Thanks.

 

[skwood]

Can anybody confirm if animations are quicker? Thanks.

They are indeed noticeably quicker but probably not quick enough for some people still

 

[iamgalt]

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?
