Release notes
What changed
Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.
Evidence that survives
The retained page contains the complete Apple note transcript beneath an explicit Beta 2 release-note heading for iOS 11 and 182 distinct eight-digit issue identifiers. The source is Apple-authored developer material retained by a public historical mirror, so this page records the mirror provenance instead of presenting it as an Apple-hosted beta archive.[1]
What Beta 2 documents
This structured snapshot contains 4 narrowly attributed feature, behavior, compatibility, issue, or resolution records. Each occurrence keeps its Apple component, status heading, and issue identifier where Apple supplied one.[2][3][4][5]
Delta boundary
Only Apple-authored transcript records that explicitly say Beta 2, starting in Beta 2, or compare Beta 2 with Beta 1 are retained. The publisher’s separate discovered-changes section is excluded.[6]
Archive limitations
The article does not reproduce Apple’s document, import publisher commentary, claim an exhaustive user-visible changelog, or infer a build number. Apple’s final archived SDK page establishes the final-document boundary but is not used to assign final-state records to this beta.[7]
