Hundreds of Apple Developers are eager to break iOS 5 NDA.

Following the introductions of iOS 5, hundreds of registered Apple Developers are busy refreshing Apple Developer site only to see the familiar “We’ll be back soon.” yellow sticky note.

A registered Apple Developer who goes by the nickname PrettyAwesomeTechBlogger told us that he/she (let’s face it, most likely it’s a he) couldn’t wait to post screenshots of iOS 5 on the blog and Facebook profile in addition to Twitter.

Another Apple Developer who spoke to us under the condition of anonimity also emphasized that he/she (once again, it’s a he; no girl developers are seen in 13 mile radius from Moscone West) would immediate post all the details of iOS 5 ahead of Apple-centric sites like AppleInsider, MacNN, TUAW and 9 to 5 Mac. “I will be the one who break the NDA first, not those sites!” he/she added.

What is NDA?

Apple Developer Friday: Mac OS X 10.6.8 beta and Lion Developer Preview 3.

Numbers of Apple-centric site really know the art of ignoring acronyms and abbreviations. Apparently Mac OS X 10.6.8 beta and Lion Developer Preview 3 are now available for Apple Developers who agreed to the NDA.

Solely based on the postings by fine sites such as AppleInsider, MacNN, MacRumors, TUAW and 9 to 5 Mac; I now know that Apple is seeding Mac OS X 10.6.8 beta and Lion Developer Preview 3. I wonder why John Gruber of Daring Fireball doesn’t know anything about it; instead he is selling his own swag. How dare he!

Anyway, I’m going back to my MacBook Pro Core Duo.

Downloading iPhone OS 4 SDK Developer Preview.

11:30 AM Cupertino Time
OK, I’ve “signed” the iPhone Developer Updated Program License Agreement. NDA is in effect now. I can’t talk about it unless Apple revealed it first (or someone else).

11:11 AM Cupertino Time
Apple iPhone Developer Center is being updated. Developer must agree to the Updated Program License Agreement.

Well, since NDA is in effect, I can’t talk much about iPhone OS 4 other than what Apple has revealed today.

It is apparent that Snow Leopard is required to develop for iPhone OS 4.

iPhone OS 3.0 SDK and iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4 is RELEASED!
iPhone OS 3.0 build 7a300g

UPDATE April 27, 2009 16:00 Pacific Time:
New info on iPhone OS 3.0 SDK and iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4.

We don’t exactly know when Apple would release iPhone OS 3.0 SDK and iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4, but we were informed by a totally made-up person who is not Tim Cook that it will require new version of iTunes (version 8.2?). Assuming that Apple is still working on iTunes 8.2, the release of iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4 might be delayed a little bit.

——-

According to an imaginary person who claimed to be not Scott Forstall, Apple is set to release iPhone OS 3.0 Beta 4 this week. The new Beta addresses numbers of bug fixes and performance tweak.

iPhone OS 3.0 Beta is set to expire roughly four weeks after the build date.
