Apple Releases iOS 7.1 Beta 4 to Developers for Download

Posted January 20, 2014 at 6:01pm by iClarified
Apple has just released iOS 7.1 beta 4 to developers for download after it was rumored to launch tomorrow.

The update is available OTA at 112MB build number 11D5134c.

Apple has also posted Apple TV software beta 4 and Xcode 5.1 beta 4.


We are downloading the update now to see what we can find, but if you see anything, please let us know in the comments.

Update: No major changes in this beta, so we assume its mainly performance enhancements and bug fixes. The 'slide to unlock' text has been tweaked a bit to be a bit 'shinier' as well as the 'slide to power off' texts. Also, the Messages app no longer indicates "message failure" immediately after sending (thanks Yousefq25).

Not sure if this is new in beta 4, or if it was already added to a previous beta. But notification centre now says "no new notifications" and "no missed notifications" if you have none.

Never mind, just realised this has been since the first beta.

What would make everyone jump on to iOS 7 and stop the downgrading and end whiny posts is that we need Apple to move every look of iOS 6 apps, Siri (along with voice), control center, and every old built in app design to be moved to iOS 7 so it can be customized in hundreds of ways between old and new look, like old apps with new control center for example. If you all want we can also get 7.0.x iPhone call, message, and lock screens moved to 7.1.x

Is it too late to update to iOS 7.1 Beta 1-4 without a developers account? I am currently on iOS 7.0.4.

In beta 3 when user busy if you press power button and lock phone, it freezes and have to restart phone, now its not there. Still while in beta 1, 2 & 3 background data for itunes account seems to continue syncing... Don't know what it has been doing eating up all data, have to see this time. (In about 8 hours even if no app is used phone is kept locked, it had consume about 30MB of data)

Considering the serious show-stopper crash bugs in iOS7 they're taking way too long to release a fix.
James

like what showstopper bugs? I'm not noticing any

Like randomly rebooting your phone or iPad. Known bug experienced by many.

If you don't know the difference between a respring and a reboot you should probably just Get a Samsung, you'll be much happier; or at least we will.

That guy needs to be banned somehow from making comments since he has no concept of civil behavior.

So is there like a countdown to the next update..!? What's the time frame ? Two weeks..?

I don't think it does, I know beta 2 doesn't do I don't think beta 4 would?
Hey

@iGlassGuy That's why you don't install a beta on a primary device. Doing so removes your right to complain about bugs :-)

I second that motion! Here here!!!

Um. It's not. I'm on 7.0.4 and my phone reboots once a day. I'm not a dev.

Now, when you press the bottom of your screen while scrolling in Safari, the bottom bar will appear.
gamerscul9870
gamerscul9870 - January 20, 2014 at 7:01pm
It's supposed to do that, but it thinks you scrolled off then on to the screen, this always happens in built in apps.
Matoplays
Matoplays - January 20, 2014 at 7:31pm
But to see the Safari bottom bar, you needed to scroll up. Now, you just have to tap the bottom of your screen.

"> slide to unlock/set up/power off" slide effect is different.
gamerscul9870
gamerscul9870 - January 20, 2014 at 6:52pm
Remember the new iPhone screens for iOS 7.1 article posted, that's why it's different.
Matoplays
Matoplays - January 20, 2014 at 6:54pm
What? I don't remember... Where?
gamerscul9870
gamerscul9870 - January 20, 2014 at 7:24pm
It's posted here, just search "iOS 7.1"
gamerscul9870
gamerscul9870 - January 20, 2014 at 7:24pm
Actually I remember, the name of the article is "the evolution of iOS 7"
Matoplays
Matoplays - January 20, 2014 at 7:30pm
Oh ok! But I'm not talking about the new button for switching of the device or to end/answer the call. I'm talking about the new BRIGHTENED SLIDE EFFECT which indicates that you must slide to unlock.

So many betas again. Wish they'd be done. Annoyed my phone restarting every day.
zetaprime
zetaprime - January 20, 2014 at 8:44pm
Know what you mean..yet there are folks in here who seem to be in denial about this major bug. It affects both my phone and iPad.

Yumet08 - January 20, 2014 at 6:44pm
So whats new?
