Today Apple released the new version of iPhone SDK and firmware. There are some big changes in the new SDK (build 9M2173a, beta 5):

  • API reference largely updated to beta 5 API.
  • You can now pass a flag to preserve data files while uploading for Run/Debug/Go.
  • You can now add the view of a UIViewController to an arbitrary view.
  • Content purchased from iTunes Store will not sync to or play on devices with iPhone OS beta installed. iTunes will report that you need a newer update of the iPhone software to play the content.
  • Code signing is now enforced on the device. This means that your project will need to have a certificate signing identity that resolves to a valid certificate in your keychain. If there is no identity entered, the code will run properly in the simulator, but will fail to execute on devices.
  • The version of Foundation in the simulator platform includes functionality not included in iPhone OS. To ensure functionality is not used that is not present on iPhone, check the documentation for availability information.
  • etc…

You can download the latest iPhone SDK from Apple’s iPhone Developer site, and the changes can be found here if you have an online SDK account.
