Third iPhone beta SDK is live
Good news iPhone developer boys and girls. A brand new iPhone Beta SDK just went live. This is release #3 of the SDK for those of you who have been keeping count. No word yet as to what changes this new SDK brings but we're betting on two things: First, that it re-vitalizes all those PSOD iPhones and second that it will fix all those user 501 errors we've been hearing about from ticked-off developers.
The new release is reportedly just 1.4 GB--thinner than honking 2+GB initial first release.
Have you downloaded and installed the new SDK? Let us know what you've found. Drop us a note in the comments. Want anonymity? Our tipline is the best bet for super sekrit tips. Make sure you tell us to guard your identity.

Erica, I respect your knowledge, your work and your iPhone/Mac skills. But could I humbly request you to refrain from using the kiddish language such as sekrit? There is enough of that on the internets and I would like to read your posts without having to flinch...
Thanks in advance!

Really now, is that so? There's enough of that language on the 'internets'? All of them? Or just the ones in our favorite president's mind? (Can you say irony?)

Clearly you meant to say "intarwebz" and not "internets" ;) ;)

Does this mean there is a new beta firmware out?

Yes, thankfully yes there is. It weighs in at just under 200MB so you can grab that first to get your devices back up and running and THEN grab the SDK.

Just installed new OS (5a240d). Appears to work. You do NOT need the new SDK in order to reactivate your phone.

Hello,
I have downloaded the Beta3 version for my now locked iphone. I start up Itunes, but I have NO idea now on how to install iPhone1,1_2.0_5A225c on my iphone.
Can somebody help me? I tried restore, and keep getting an error message.
Thanks
QuercusMax said 8:54PM on 4-08-2008
You have to use XCode to do it. Just like you installed the beta 2.
You *did* have a legit developer copy, right?

I think you can option-click the restore button in iTunes and choose the file.

The buzz on IRC is that it already is. TPB?

Is getting the SDK really a problem? I went to the iPhone Dev Center a couple weeks ago and signed up (I previously had the free ADC with the same email). I was notified immediately and have access to all the videos and information and the SDK at no cost. Now I just wish I had a Mac because I want to develop an app for iPhone. I've been holding out for that big fancy redesign but by the time I get it, apps will already be sold and I'm sure someone will make my app. :(
Yes, I'm an Apple fanatic without a Mac. *cries*
