Apple tablets running iPhone OS 3.2 spotted by Flurry Analytics

iSlate Apple Tablet Demo Jan 26 2010 It is just a matter of hours now to know the truth on iPad or iSlate devices, whatever the name will be… and I’ll be here updating you for sure.

In the meantime, Peter Farago, VP of of Marketing at Flurry, noted that his company believes the devices running iPhone OS 3.2 are Apple tablets because the hardware, when asked via software, did not identify itself as an iPhone. He also said that some devices testing iPhone OS 4.0 have been spotted — but they leave the Cupertino campus, while those running iPhone OS 3.2 do not.

“If you were able to see the data we see, at the level of granularity,” Farago said, “it would be clear to you as well.”

sdk_hero iPhone 3.1 Beta 3 is now accessible to those with an existing developer account. Apple also released a new iPhone SDK for OS 3.1.

iPhone OS 3.1 adds Bluetooth and video features. Users can now invoke Voice Control using a Bluetooth headset rather than a wired headset or the built-in microphone. When editing video clips, users can save a copy of the trimmed video instead of permanently losing the discarded ends. The new SDK also allows developers to connect to and work with a system wirelessly, without the tether of a USB cable.

Among the new features the ability to select video recording quality and a couple of new app interface classes. Xcode 3.1.3 has also been released.

Bricked iPhone? Say it ain’t so…

I have a few suggestions for developers using bleeding edge systems on iPhone.

1. The OS will expire. Be sure you update to the latest available system before you, say, go out of town to Railsconf. We’ve been warned you don’t use OS3 on a production phone, but that’s easy advice to ignore when things seem to be going swimingly.

2. Download every beta OS for your device even if you don’t expect to use it. I found OS3 beta5 won’t install on this iPhone. I don’t think I’m alone here, but it might only affect the original iPhone. I had to go to a beta4 to get running again.

3. If you do find you can’t run the latest beta, mangle the Apple URL to download an older image. Since I didn’t have beta4 downloaded, what I did was copy Apple’s URL for the beta5 image, change the fives to fours, and

Can’t build for iPhone OS 2 or 2.2.x after iPhone SDK 3.0 beta 3 upgrade

After upgrading to iPhone SDK 3.0 beta3, I found all my Xcode projects only had two build options remaining: iPhone OS 3 Device and iPhone OS 3 Simulator.

I still need to build for multiple systems to test all the custom iPhone development we do at Surgeworks, but I also need iPhone OS 3.0 so I can diagnose issues and get all our Native Apps ready for the scheduled release of new iPhone models in June that will feature the new operating system.

Ivan Kalaica suggested how to fix this issue: to check out all projects again from SVN (Subversion). That worked, and all targets are now available in Xcode again.
