Introduction

iOS SDK 8.3 provides support for developing iOS apps. The SDK is packaged with a complete set of tools, compilers, and frameworks for creating apps for iOS and OS X. The tools include the Xcode IDE and the Instruments analysis tool, among many others.

With this software, you can develop apps for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8. It now includes WatchKit, a framework for developing Apple Watch apps. You can test your apps using the included iOS Simulator.

iOS SDK 8.3 is included in Xcode 6.3, which requires a Mac computer running OS X v10.10 (Yosemite) or later.

This version of iOS is intended for installation only on devices registered with the Apple Developer Program. Attempting to install this version of iOS in an unauthorized manner could put your device in an unusable state.

Notes and Known Issues

The following issues relate to using iOS SDK 8.3 to develop code.

App Extensions

Notes

• App extensions need an arm64 slice to run on 64-bit devices. If you try to run the armv7 slice on a 64-bit device it won’t work.

• Apps need to have an arm64 slice if the bundle contains a framework that both the app and the app extension link against.

CarPlay

Fixed in Beta 2

The dialog that appears when connecting an iPhone to a CarPlay-compatible car is not functional.

WatchKit

Known Issue

Creating an animated image using the UIImage method animatedImageWithImages:duration: and then playing the animation using startAnimating ignores the duration and plays back as fast as possible.

Workaround: Use startAnimatingWithImagesInRange:duration:repeatCount: instead.

LTE Voice

Known Issue

LTE Voice does not work properly with Verizon.

Workaround: If you are using Verizon, please set LTE to Data Only for this seed.
