iPhone SDK hits beta 6, picks up sticks

You will no doubt be thrilled to hear about the latest developments in the mystical land of the iPhone SDK. The newest version, beta 6, hit the Apple Developer site today, concurrent with Apple’s release of 10.5.3. Good thing, too, since for unknown reasons, beta 6 of the SDK requires 10.5.3—it’s actually incompatible with any of the prior versions.

As to what beta 6 brings your average developer, Apple is its own usual close-mouthed self:

This release fixes many bugs and add support for the latest iPhone OS.

Developers get a slightly more detailed list of changes to the API, which probably doesn’t mean much to you or I. But we imagine there will probably be only a few more of these beta releases before the final version of the SDK hits next month.
