Release notes

What changed

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

Release milestone

The April 8 report explicitly pairs SDK Beta 3 with an updated iPhone OS seed, adding bounded Exchange workflows and replacing the expired opening seed.[1]

What Beta 3 documents

This archive page contains 5 narrowly attributed historical records. All titles, summaries, and explanatory prose are original synthesis, with source locators retained for verification.[2][3][4][5][6]

Selection boundary

One contemporaneous report explicitly identifies both the third SDK and updated iPhone OS beta. It preserves four bounded Exchange changes and the expiration boundary for the opening seed; no unstated API or interface changes are inferred.[1]

Archive limitations

This archive does not reproduce publisher articles or confidential developer material. Unsupported build numbers, speculative features, long excerpts, and the separately owned Public route are excluded.[1]
