[Zimmy68]

Agreeing let me download the seed (slowly).
Does it need iTunes 12???

I am using a windows PC.

I hope the direct links are available after I finish eating

 

[TurnerMartin]

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

Haha same as last year. My bad

When will developers be able to publish using Xcode 6? Has that been enabled now?

 

[cwosigns]

Dang...I can't renew my developer account because the store is down. Should've thought of that this morning.

new default wallpaper

 

[Futhark]

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

Yes you do

 

[Zeeshee]

It crashed iTunes and now my iPhone is bricked. It tells me to plug in my iPhone into iTunes and When I do it crashes iTunes. Any advice?

Don't use a beta version of itunes

However, I did read that using XCode 6 will keep iTunes 12 from crashing. As a developer, I hope you know what that means

lot of new wallpapers

Any new dynamic ones?

 

[Treble]

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

So you don't need a dev account to load the gm is that correct ?

From the GM release notes

Photos
Notes
If you installed Beta 5 on the device, you should erase the device after installing the GM Seed. (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings).

 

[Stuke00]

Correct. If you can find the GM you can install it on any supported device.

No, provided you find the install file somewhere else.

Some folks were concerned about iCloud drive. Any news on that front? Any new dynamic wallpapers?

How's the battery life?

Amazing, 3 full days of mixed usage on the GM.

The live feed was crappy to say the least. I don't recall any real mention of it.

Could someone post the md5 checksum for the 5S ipsw (GSM) I'd really appretiate it. Thanks!

Should I restore my iPhone to a backup or should I do a clean install? It's about halfway done now and I'm not too bothered if I have to start again with a fresh install. Just want to do the safest/easiest method.

When I say halfway done, I mean downloading the GM

 

[kmj2318]

Can someone share the new wallpapers?

Fresh install. Restoring from an iOS 7 backup should be ok.

Wait, you have an iPhone 4, yet you're running iOS 8? How is that possible?

Where did it say he was running iOS 8? He is asking for someone to post the wallpapers because he has an iPhone 4 and unable to get them by updating to iOS 8.
