Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Preserved milestone section

Apple's cumulative Beta 4 document retains an exact “Updates in iOS & iPadOS 14 beta 2” section. This iOS page structures 18 high-signal records from the milestone-named headings rather than treating the full cumulative document as a route delta.[1]

What this beta documents

The milestone-named section records developer API additions and fixes across accessibility, ARKit, location privacy, Maps, Messages, Shortcuts, SwiftUI, Weather, and widgets.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]

Platform scope

Shared SDK and cross-device records are retained alongside entries that explicitly concern iPhone, cellular calling, HealthKit user data, 3D Touch, Exposure Notification, CarPlay, or iOS-only Home Screen behavior. iPad hardware and PencilKit-only claims are excluded.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]

Archive boundary

Internet Archive retained one raw beta DocC payload on August 10, after Beta 4 and before Beta 5. Its title names Beta 4 and its cumulative body labels Beta 1 through Beta 4 separately. Earlier human-shell captures establish document continuity but do not expose additional raw states, so this page uses only explicitly milestone-named records and does not infer an adjacent-state diff.[20][21][22]

Editorial boundary

This article is original synthesis. It preserves Apple issue identifiers as source locators, creates no build records, does not assign generic known issues to a beta, and leaves later prerelease routes unfilled when no milestone-labeled raw evidence survives.[23][24]
