Title: Apple Seeds iOS 8 Beta 6 to Carrier Testing Partners, but Not Broader Developer Community Post by: HCK on August 20, 2014, 09:00:14 am Apple Seeds iOS 8 Beta 6 to Carrier Testing Partners, but Not Broader Developer Community
While Apple released a sixth developer preview (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/08/18/apple-releases-os-x-yosemite-developer-preview-6/) of OS X Yosemite yesterday, a corresponding sixth beta of iOS 8 was not provided to developers at the same time. As a result, the company's iOS beta 5 (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/08/04/apple-ios-8-beta-5/) released earlier this month may turn out to be the final build seeded to developers before the golden master release. Though developers may not see another beta version, a new report from BGR (http://bgr.com/2014/08/19/ios-8-release-beta-download-gm-notes/) claims Apple has released a sixth iOS 8 beta to its testing partners. The release would explain conflicting rumors (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/07/23/iphone-mid-september-iphone-event/) as to whether there would be a sixth beta version if this version is made available only to carriers and other partners for testing rather than the broader developer community. (http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2014/03/ios8-800x196.jpg) According to BGR</I>, this beta 6 version of iOS 8 is being released only to testing partners and will not be seeded to developers for testing because the timing is so close to the golden master build. The build change log obtained by BGR is as follows: OTA Software Update PathsTesting partners with iOS beta 6 must approve the version by September 5, ahead of the final iOS 8 preview and the introduction of the iPhone 6 on September 9 (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/08/05/apple-to-hold-iphone-event-on-september-9/). A public release of iOS 8 for current devices will likely come roughly a week later, just a few days before the launch of the iPhone 6 in the first wave of markets. According to BGR's sources, Apple may still have some work to do, as this build allegedly has already been rejected for an issue with YouTube playback in Safari.
