Apple Seeds Fourth iOS 9 Beta to Developers

(http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2015/06/ios_9_icon-250x250.jpg)Apple today seeded the fourth beta of iOS 9 to developers for testing purposes, nearly two weeks after releasing the third beta (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/08/ios-9-beta-3/) and more than a month after unveiling the new operating system at the 2015 Worldwide Developers Conference (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/08/apple-announces-ios-9-with-proactive-siri-and-more).
 
 The update, build 13A4305g, is available through Apple's over-the-air updating system on iOS devices and is also available for download through the Apple Developer Center. Xcode 7 beta 4 is also available.
 
 Today's beta includes the return of Home Sharing for Music (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/06/home-sharing-music-ios-9/), which was removed in iOS 8.4 (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/01/ios-84-home-sharing/). iTunes chief Eddy Cue said Apple was working to re-add the feature in iOS 9, and he's kept his promise. This is also the first iOS 9 beta that's available for Apple's new iPod touch. For a full list of changes, make sure to check out our iOS 9 beta 4 tidbits post (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/21/ios-9-beta-4-tidbits/).
 
 iOS 9 beta 3, which preceded beta 4, brought several much-desired features (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/08/ios-9-beta-3-tidbits/) to iOS 9 including the News app, an updated Music app with support for the Apple Music service and Beats 1 radio station, folders for selfies and screenshots, 4x4 app layouts for folders on the iPad, and more.
 
 iOS 9 is Apple's latest operating system, focusing on intelligence and proactivity with much improved Siri and Search functions, plus improvements to several apps like Notes, Maps, and Mail. iOS 9 also brings several highly desired features like split-screen multitasking for the iPad and performance boosts that improve battery life and optimize storage space.
