iPhone OS 4.0 SDK Beta 4 available for download

Apple is now 4 for 4.

Or at least Beta 4 for iPhone OS 4.0.

They have just posted the latest and greatest iPhone OS 4.0 beta. As with previous beta releases, this new beta update provides firmware for each of the supported devices (namely the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 3G, and the 2nd and 3rd generation iPod touch).

Because of the ongoing NDA, the details of this release remain behind a wall of confidentiality. You'll need to visit the developer site and check out the specifications for yourself. Apple will be releasing 4.0 into the general iPhone population this summer. An iPad version will debut in the fall.

Apple's servers get slammed whenever a new SDK is released. You may want to wait a few hours if you encounter any problems connecting to the developer site.

also the background of the folder icons have changed. it used to be that strange spotted background and now it is similar to the ipad grey canvas background that you see behind safari and mail.

I'm pretty sure I've been able to do that with iPhone 3, but maybe not.

Hi guys,

just found out that Apple has finally enabled the file sharing option via iTunes in iPhone OS 4 Beta 4. You can now transfer files from iTunes to selected apps on the device. I have posted two screenshots and the story on my German blog: http://www.schimanke.com/index.php?/archives/1473-Apple-veroeffentlicht-iPhone-OS-4-Beta-4.html.

You need to install the SDK which updates iTunes to be able to do the backup.

I'd like to point out, if no one has ever noticed, that beta releases are two weeks apart normally. Every other Tuesday for this iteration.

The main thing I'm hoping to find is stability and bug fixes. Email wasn't working well for me on Beta 3.

Hi, can you share the file for the 3G wit me or us? or just tell me where to find it. I'm not a developer of course but have UDID registered. Thanks
