Apple Seeds Ninth Beta of iOS 11 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the ninth beta of iOS 11 to developers for testing purposes, just a few days after releasing the eighth beta and more than two months after introducing the new update at the Worldwide Developers Conference.

Registered developers can download the new iOS 11 beta from the Apple Developer Center or over-the-air once the proper configuration profile has been installed.

iOS 11 brings several new design changes like a customizable Control Center and a new Lock screen that's been merged with the Notification Center. Peer-to-peer Apple Pay payments are coming in the Messages app, which is also gaining a new App Drawer, and there's a Do Not Disturb While Driving feature that's meant to help drivers stay focused on the road. Siri, Photos, the Camera app, and more are also gaining new features and refinements.

ARKit for developers will bring a range of new augmented reality apps and games to iOS devices, and a new Core ML SDK will let developers build smarter apps. iOS 11 is also the biggest update ever for the iPad, with a new Dock that introduces much improved multitasking, a Files app for better managing files, improved Apple Pencil support, a revamped App Switcher, and a system-wide drag and drop feature.

iOS 11 is available for both registered developers and public beta testers and be released to the public in September alongside new iPhones. We are getting closer to the end of the beta testing process and should see a golden master release candidate soon.

For complete details on all of the new features included in iOS 11, make sure to check out our extensive iOS 11 roundup.

Update: Apple has also made a new public beta of iOS 11 available for public beta testers.

The rush is on to find any and all bugs prior to launch. Will be interesting to see what hidden features are in the final builds we will likely see late next week.

Beta 8 has been locking up my phone constantly. Happy to see a followup release so quickly.

Agreed. Take a chill pill. One at a time please.

Also, yes, Safari is snappier

I was expecting it today. I even commented about it early today.
Great news!
We should get another beta early next week, most likely on Tuesday.

Glad to see. Odd thing started happening in Beta 8 for me which caused the phone to springboard. Happened numerous times and doing it on various apps. Nothing in particular seemed to cause it but my phone would just reset.

Hopefully this also fixes the calculator lag issue

“/s” means sarcasm. I like that.

 

[testcard]

Next week we’ll be seeing new betas released hourly.

 

[veeco3110]

Relax.

Damn. -349 internet points for me on that one. I suck.

I hope this fixes the reminder app icon under the iCloud settings to match the other reminder app icloud icons in the settings and the main icon. For some reason it has 4 dots while the others all have 3.

no GM because of no new wallpapers!

According to beta 9 wiki thread, this is still sadly an ongoing issue.

i don't think they've added new wallpapers to the GM in a while now. at least not last year. i think the rainbow wave was the last beta-only wallpaper...from ios9

Also to navigate there on your own in the future: click the Forums tab, scroll under iOS, and select iOS 11. It will be near the top, if it isn't pinned soon.

I am not seeing it as an OTA update from Beta 8. Anyone have the same issue? It'll probably show up later. Just curious.

 

[Sharkoneau]

Thanks.

Sure thing!
