Apple Seeds Golden Master Version of iOS 13 to Developers

[WannaGoMac]

Should I bother installing this or just wait for official release? I assume I have to sign up for that beta program thing?

This is the official release, so might as well install it now if you have access to it.

Just FYI - The Developer Page for iOS 13 GM has ipsw images only and no profile. It also states that macOS Catalina beta or XCode 11 GM is required to install.

does it work with just Xcode and no catalina

Yup, just installed it on my XS after installing Xcode 11 GM (I'm on Mojave 10.14.6).

 

[Shirasaki]

You need Catalina beta for that and can you alt/option on an UPDATE not RESTORE?

Yes, you need Catalina or latest iTunes to UPDATE (NOT RESTORE).
Or GM Xcode 11 and Mojave.

Can you perform an update from XCode or is it restore only?

is this actually true, or is it the same case as the beta 1 ipsw? it was discovered that only a specific .pkg needed to be installed related to the device files or some such. i did this and it permitted me to do the update without being on catalina or having xcode 11.

if i still have it sitting around i'll try to see if i can post back the name

I'm on iOS 13 Beta 8 and removed the profile to prevent going to iOS 13.1. Now I seem to be stuck.

You are not stuck, but without a beta profile you will just need to wait for the official release of iOS 13, which is on 19 Sep, so in 9 days. If you can handle the wait, you will have the real thing.

17A577 is the build number
So different from beta 8 17A572a

iOS 13 beta 8 was actually 17A5572a.

Considering Apple is already pushing 13.1 to developers, I think I’ll skip 13.0 and wait for 13.1 to go live for my non-test machines.

 

[spazzcat]

What BS - why do they make it so hard?

Because it is not released to the general public yet. So this only way to get it. It always works this way.

Except with iOS 12, when both developers and public beta testers could get their GMs OTA.

wouldn’t be surprised if the exact same .pkg file would work.

Please let us know how it goes!

Well I have a test phone, so I'll just DFU it and see what happens.

 

[ryanmcv]

Anyone know if the IPSW can be installed using iTunes on Windows?

I guess I don't understand the need, just stay on the betas. 13.1 is newer than the 13 GM.

 

[jonnysods]

Isn't that interesting. Thought it wasn't ready for prime time just yet!

 

[BWhaler]

So, we all agree just wait for 13.1? It’s only 2 weeks later.

 

[joselc23]

Will this version work with watchOS 5 or do we need to update to watchOS 6 beta 2?

 

[MisterSavage]

yeah this is a weird scenario. Last year at this time I upgraded my primary device to the GM. Now I'm wondering if I should just wait for 13.1.

 

[Jmausmuc]

I think it is possible to use windows via some weird command line app. Just google it.

not sure if I would use it, thought.

Just FYI - The Developer Page for iOS 13 GM has ipsw images only and no profile. It also states that macOS Catalina beta or XCode 11 GM is required to install.

Apple definitely states this so you aren't wrong, but I was able to update my XS from iOS 12.4.1 to iOS 13 GM using Mojave and iTunes. Xcode is NOT installed. When I selected the IPSW file in iTunes, it stated that I needed to install an update in order to use the device. I installed the update, and then installed the GM.

If one thinks about it, there has to be a way for Mojave users to update to iOS 13 next week since Catalina won't be released until next month, so I'm not sure why Apple says Catalina or Xcode 11 is required.

Same here using High Sierra, will see if it updates or not.

 

[Jmausmuc]

I’m also hearing that it should work. people won’t be installing Catalina beta next week when restoring their devices and the Gm should be the exact same version.

 

[Eorlas]

wouldn’t be surprised if the exact same .pkg file would work.

Please let us know how it goes!

it's called "MobileDevice.pkg" first google result on it points to people talking about it as well. i cant imagine that im allowed to share the file here

Did you find out?
