SDK devsugar: 3.2 leaves beta

As of yesterday, with the release of the iPad hardware, the 3.2 iPhone OS SDK is no longer in beta. The SDK is now available to all members of the iPhone developer program, including the free online program. Normally, during beta, the SDK is limited to paid members only.

Since the SDK is now in general release, the NDA will have timed out as well. That means that you will be able to talk freely about the 3.2 SDK outside of Apple's developer forums. Although those forums remain an excellent resource for tracking down information from Apple engineers, they are highly moderated.

Since the 3.2 gold master release of the SDK is also known as "Beta 6", you can expect (with a fair degree of confidence) that a new beta should be showing up, behind the NDA and paid developer barricades, in short order. Hopefully, it will address any missing-in-action iPad features and offer some new iPhone-specific features.

Maybe you should get your facts straight before correcting people; the current version of Xcode, which btw is 3.2.2, is irrelevant since Xcode cannot be installed on on anything that does not run MacOS X.

Furthermore, iPhone OS 3.2, the actual subject of both the blog post and this query only runs on iPads.

Anybody know if there's a way to talk to the system's dictionary? The SDK shows the dictionary is included in the system (rather than in the iBooks application), but I haven't seen anything in the SDK about it so far.

It'd be nice if applications were allowed to access the dictionary. It'd be a useful addition to news apps in particular.

@Mona Wow, maybe you should become a developer before speaking. The tone of your voice is very ignorant when you call him "Sweetie" and it's very demeaning.

" SDK 3.0
iPhone SDK 3.2

iPhone SDK 3.2 includes the Xcode IDE, iPhone Simulator, and a suite of additional tools for developing applications for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
"

Notice how it says iPhone and iPod touch NOT just the iPad?

SDK 3.2 Final still had a "Not for distribution" EULA. Small oversight?

Sweetie, iPhone OS 3.2 is iPad only.

You'll have to wait until summer to find out what Apple will bless our shiny toys with next in the iPhone OS line.

The last thing you need is a Apple product the way you talk trash about them.

You actually OWN an APPLE product????? And there was me thinking you hated everything to do with Apple Inc. (given the number of your negative posts, you can't really blame me, can you?)

I have just downloaded SDK 3.2 Final.

Since the 3.1 stuff is gone from the Dev Center, it looks as if I will be able to use the new version both for iPhone and iPad development.
