Developer gets crash report from device running iOS 5

iOS app developer FutureTap has received a crash report from a device running iOS 5. FutureTap notes the crash involved MKUserLocationBreadCrumb, which 9to5Mac notes is related to the maps/location functions in iOS and could mean these APIs have been altered in iOS 5.

Since Apple is now testing third-party apps with iOS 5, it likely puts the next version of the iPhone's operating system on-track for a public unveiling in June at WWDC. It's still not clear if we'll see iOS 5 released in mid-summer as we have previous major iOS updates, or if Apple will wait until the fall to release iOS 5 alongside updated hardware.

Is there any good info on what changes/additions iOS 5 will bring?

No. Everything is just speculation.

It's only fitting that "FutureTap" is receiving crash reports from software that hasn't been released yet. Really, I'm surprised they're only receiving iOS 5 reports and not iOS X or something from the distant future.

Either that, or some jailbreaker changed their OS version for fun.

This is fake because there's no class MKUserLocarionBreadCrumb in the current iOS 4.3 SDK. Because why would the OS call an API to a app that is compiled against a lower version? Then a lot of existing app will crash when iOS is release if developers don't re-compile.

At first glance I was surprised and then I realized this is about the time info should be leaking out about the next iOS. I'm really hoping for a summer launch with lots of new features included. But at this point I'm just guessing September.

Um... NDA much?

The NDA would only apply if the person got it from the developer site or apple directly, but this looks to be more on the developers side of things, i.e. a feature used to fix issues in your specific app. Therefore it's up to the developer whether to disclose the info.
