In cursul acestei seri, Apple a publicat pe portalul dedicat dezvoltatorilor de aplicatii o noua versiune beta a iOS 7.1, cea de-a 5-a actualizare de testare putand fi descarcata si instalata de catre toti dezvoltatorii sau utilizatorii care au UDID-ul dispozitivului inregistrat in contul unui dezvoltator. iOS 7.1 se afla in faza de testare inca din luna noiembrie a anului trecut, iar Apple publica cate o noua versiune beta, de regula, o data la doua saptamani. Cum suntem deja la iOS 7.1 beta 5, inseamna ca lansarea versiunii finale a iOS 7.1 nu este prea departe de noi, iar cel mai tarziu la inceputul lunii martie, ar trebui ca toti utilizatorii sa poata descarca gratuit iOS 7.1 pe propriile dispozitive pentru a se bucura de optimizarile si modificarile facute de Apple.

In cazul fiecarei versiuni beta a iOS (sau OS X), compania Apple trimite dezvoltatorilor notitele lansarii prin care ii anunta pe acestia care dintre problemele semnalate au fost reparate, ce a fost adus nou si ce erori cunoscute exista in versiunea iOS tocmai lansata. iOS 7.1 beta 5 nu face nicio exceptie de la regula, iar mai jos aveti notitele lansarii (change log-ul) celei mai noi versiuni beta a iOS. Partea cea mai interesanta, pe care nu am intalnit-o pana acum in cazul niciuneia dintre celelalte patru versiuni beta ale iOS 7.1, este ca Apple a inclus (oficial) o functie noua in iOS 7.1 beta 5, pe care o mentioneaza in aceste notite ale lansarii. Mai exact este vorba despre o voce de inalta calitate adusa asistentului virtual personal din iOS, Siri, pentru cateva limbi noi. Daca pana acum Siri avea voce umana numai in cazul dialectului american al limbii engleze, incepand cu iOS 7.1 vorbitorii dialectelor australian si britanic a limbii engleze, impreuna cu cei care vorbesc chineza (mandarina) si japoneza, se vor bucura de Siri cu un timbru mult mai cald si firesc. Separat de aceasta noutate, iOS 7.1 beta 5 are cateva probleme cunoscute si imbunatatiri, toate fiind notate de Apple in notitele lansarii pe care le puteti accesa mai jos:
Notes and Known Issues
The following issues relate to using iOS SDK 7.1 beta 5 to develop code.
Bluetooth
Known Issue
32-bit apps running on a 64-bit device cannot attach to BTServer.
CFNetwork
Notes
A compatibility behavior has been added to address an issue where some web servers would send the wrong Content-Length value for “Content-Encoding: gzip” content. Previously,
NSURLConnectionandNSURLSessionwould send a “network connection was lost” / NSURLErrorNetworkConnectionLost (-1005) error in this situation.The compatibility behavior applies only if the Content-Length value exactly matches the expanded gzip’d content. It won’t apply for “off by 1” or similar miscounting.
Safari
Notes
A property, minimal-ui, has been added for the viewport meta tag key that allows minimizing the top and bottom bars on the iPhone as the page loads. While on a page using minimal-ui, tapping the top bar brings the bars back. Tapping back in the content dismisses them again.
For example, use <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=1024, minimal-ui”>.
Siri
Notes
This seed adds new natural-sounding Siri voices for English (Australia), English (United Kingdom), Japanese, and Chinese (Mandarin – China).
The iOS device initially uses a compact voice for Siri. After you have configured a Wi-Fi network and have the device connected to a power source, iOS will automatically download and install a higher quality version.
Sync
Known Issue
In some situations, the “Connect to iTunes over USB to re-enable Wi-Fi Sync” prompt is not shown after an update as expected. Connecting to iTunes to re-enable Wi-Fi Sync is still required (and still functions as expected), it is just that the UI is not shown.
After upgrading to beta 5, iTunes Wi-Fi Sync users should connect their devices to their hosts to re-pair to enable wireless syncing.
UIKit
Known Issues
- Bar button background images are ignored in apps built and deployed to iOS 7.1 when they are set using
UIBarButtonItemsetBackgroundImage:forState:style:barMetrics:withUIBarButtonItemStyleBorderedas the style argument.Workaround: UseUIBarButtonItemStylePlainorUIBarButtonItemStyleAnyin this case, or useUIBarButtonItemsetBackgroundImage:forState:barMetrics:.- If a
UITextFieldor aUILabelthat is baseline aligned with constraints has attributes that change after the constraints have been added, the layout may be incorrect. The exception to this is-setFont:onUILabel, which should work as expected.Workaround: Avoid making changes inUITextFieldorUILabelafter adding baseline-alignment constraints. If you must make changes, you should remove the constraints and then reapply them afterward. Note that this is a performance hit, so don’t do it unless it is necessary.- The
backIndicatorTransitionMaskImagefrom a storyboard or a xib will not be interpreted correctly at runtime.Workaround: Set thebackIndicatorTransitionMaskImagein code.
