iPhone SDK Beta 8 Released

Apple has released iPhone SDK Beta 8 (9m2199) in preparation for launching the iPhone App Store in the near future. Additionally, iPhone beta certificates issued before June 9 have also expired. Applications must be associated with a certificate issued after June 9 in order to work with the iPhone.

The update is 1.25GB in size, and includes iPhone firmware revision 5a345. Typically, if the revision ends in a number, it's a pretty stable release. According to sources familiar with the release notes, things got a lot more stable in the last two weeks, since revision 5a331.

Also mentioned along with the update is a developer-only version of iTunes 7.7, which developers can use to "install iPhone OS Beta 8 on your Apple devices." The new version of iTunes doesn't seem to be included with the 1.25GB update, however, and developers -- apparently -- are having a hard time finding it on Apple's website and is now available to developers as a separate download.

More details about the SDK will be available here as we learn them, and will probably be posted to Apple's iPhone Developer Site when they're available. Tips, as always, are welcome at our tip line. We're happy to take a look at confidential information, and your anonymity is our guarantee.
