The behavior of iOS 7 beta after a screenshot is taken differs significantly from what we've seen hitherto, with active screen touches "no longer canceled when the user takes a screenshot." This, for services like the popular Snapchat, means that the in-built screenshot detection is essentially nullified, and with this being an integral part of that and the likes of Facebook Poke, the security offered by said applications is under serious threat.
The App Store and Google Play are becoming, if not already, major players in the gaming world. Most big new titles have some form of mobile game for those on iOS and Android, but a couple of big names have yet to fully embrace this smartphone and tablet boom.
Right on schedule and as predicted by just about everyone, Apple today dropped iOS 7 beta 2 onto the developer portal as well as the company's OTA update system worldwide. Cue a mad scramble to get Apple's second attempt at iOS 7 installed as quickly as possible with the aim of detailing each and every change for you, the willing reader.
It has long since been in the public domain that AOL would be coming through with an RSS reading app to help soften the blow of Google Reader having been dropped by the search giant, and today, a beta has officially been released by the Broadway-based outfit. Entering this already crowded market is going to be a difficult sell, particularly with Facebook also reportedly lurking with an aggregation app of its own, and it will certainly be interesting to see whether AOL is in with a shout of competing with the many other feeder apps knocking about.
Apart from iPhone and iPod touch, Apple has also made available iOS 7 beta 2 download links for iPad and iPad mini on the iOS Dev Center. Read on for more details.
iOS 7 beta 2 download for iPhone 5, 4S, 4 and iPod touch 5 has been released. More details can be found here.
Google Street View is quite possibly one of the company's best innovations to date, besides cataloguing the entire World Wide Web, that is. Being able to take a virtual walk down a very real street is something that would have seemed almost impossible not too long ago, but Google made it happen. And today, Google is stepping things up a notch.
We've covered our thoughts on in-app purchases in the past, specifically parents who go after Apple because their kids ran up huge bills after they were able to buy all manner of things in-game - often racking up huge bills, we’ll even go as far as saying ‘ridiculous bills’. Whilst many people have little sympathy for such parents, that didn't stop approximately 23 million people taking to the courts over the matter.
iOS 7 is significant because it marks the beginning of a new journey where the Cupertino company must once again prove that their vision for the software is just, and in line with modern mobile software. One of the main overhauls in terms of native apps was seen in the Photos app, but it also seems that users can get a taste of that experience by using the Photoful app from PhotoSocial LLC.
If you pay attention to the jailbreaking scene, you'll be aware that the current state of jailbreak is not a good one. Currently, all A5+ devices cannot be jailbroken on the current iOS version, 6.1.3 or 6.1.4. Apple has stopped signing the iOS 6.1.2 firmware, which is the last firmware compatible with the Evasi0n untethered jailbreak.
