iOS 8 GM seeded to developers

[Shockwave78]

Just went live on the developer portal..downloading now!

 

[ayeying]

Finally! Maybe I can install it before heading to class!

 

[Shawzborne]

Can't you install Ota eventually?

Can't you install Ota eventually?

Not to GM.

Not to the GM per-say but to the official release on the 17th you could OTA update. However, i and many many others always recommend doing a clean install and setup as a new phone on the major yearly releases. Best to start from scratch so nothing previous hinders performance.

You cannot OTA from beta 5. You can OTA from 7.1.2 on Sept 17th.

Hopefully iTunes 12 receives an update so that I can restore as new with the GM. So far, any time a device is plugged in while in recovery mode (or enters recovery mode as part of a restore), it instantly crashes.

No. Its the same as the final version coming out on the 17th.

Ok, why is the ios8 GM seed greyed out for me?
Do I have to accept the new license agreement first?

 

[TurnerMartin]

Still nothing for me via OTA

(iPhone 5s and iPad 4Gen)

You don't receive OTA for GM builds, those you must download and update through iTunes.

Can anyone post MD5/SHA hashes of the 5S GM? WOuld be a great help for later....

 

[Iamgort]

Can anyone let me know if duo mobile works in the GM?

actually yes i think so, i logged in and the GM was not there, then i noticed i had to accept the new agreement, after that the GM appeared. It could have been coincidence though.

If you download Xcode 6 Beta 7 and open it, that will solve the iTunes 12 crashing problem. A free developer account registration will allow the Xcode download.

There needs to be a sticky on this forum, I've seen this 100 times today..

You cannot update OTA from a beta to the GM.

You'll be waiting for awhile, there's no OTA to the GM seed.

If you have Xcode 6, just open Xcode and then iTunes 12 and things will work as normal.

Thanks for the heads up! I have a dev account and will do that now.
