Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) just released iOS 7 Beta 5 and it’s available through Software Updates. Not only that, but a new iOS 7 update includes a seed for Apple TV. The Cupertino-based tech giant also released a change log for the new beta and it includes a full list of all the updates that was packed into the upgrade. Here are some highlights from their change log:
The classes in the AddressBookUI framework now explicitly disallow subclassing. For apps linked against the iOS 7 SDK, attempting to initialize a subclass of one of these classes returns nil. For apps linked against older SDKs, the only behavior change is a warning logged to the console.
As of Seed 4, privacy support for the AddressBookUI framework is reenabled for apps linked against the iOS 7 SDK. Apps linked against older SDKs are not changed. If your app uses any of the Address Book view controllers, you should verify that it still behaves as expected.
