Under The Bridge

The fourth release of the iPhone SDK is out now, and here’s what other people have said on the web — since we certainly would not break our NDA, nosirree:

“… an awesome new feature: OpenGL ES support! Now the iPhone simulator can render OpenGL ES that ‘mirror behavior on the iPhone and iPod Touch.’” — gizmodo

“… Audio Toolbox got a big load of new stuff … NSXMLParser support … UIFont is re-done … some very interesting methods added to UIApplication’s delegate, including methods for badging the Springboard icon, and methods related to gaining and resigning ‘active’ status - seems like background apps may be permitted…” — TUAW

“Code signing enforced: iPhone applications will now need to contain a valid certificate (obtained from the restricted, $99, iPhone Developer program) in order to be loaded on actual devices. If a developer does not have a certificate, apps will still run in the simulator but not physical devices.” — iPhoneAtlas

“We are getting closer to world iPhone domination, people.” — CrunchGear
