Apple propose iOS 8 bêta 6 à des partenaires sélectionnés

Apple propose depuis quelques heures la bêta 6 à ses partenaires, principalement des opérateurs. Selon la source, BGR, Apple ne propose pas cette mise à jour à tous les développeurs du fait d'une sortie très prochaine de la version Gold Master d'iOS 8.

Les partenaires sélectionnés ont jusqu'au 5 septembre pour tester cette nouvelle bêta et faire remonter à Apple les bugs rencontrés. L'exclusive bêta 6 (buid 12A363d) bien qu'introuvable a un changelog : pas de nouveautés majeures au programme mais de nombreux correctifs de bugs de la bêta 5, une bêta a priori très stable donc !

Si vous maîtrisez la langue de Shakespeare, voici l'intégralité des correctifs et des améliorations ci-dessous. Vous pouvez aussi retrouver notre article avec TOUTES les nouveautés iOS 8 depuis le début ici.
