Release notes

What changed

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

Release milestone

Beta 2 appeared on 2012-06-25. Its route identity is backed by contemporaneous publication records, while the change index below is derived from retained Apple-authored developer-note text.[1][2]

What Beta 2 documents

This review candidate contains 16 narrowly attributed records. Titles, summaries, and explanatory text are original synthesis; short component locators point readers back to the evidence.[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]

Selection boundary

Sixteen explicit fixed records are retained. Both Apple TV records, a contradictory Game Center timeout record whose body still promised a future fix, and a Smart App Banner record whose body still said launching was unavailable are excluded conservatively.[1][2]

Archive limitations

This is a structured historical index, not a reproduction of Apple’s document and not a claim to exhaust every user-visible change. Unsupported build identities, publisher commentary, workaround prose, and the already-owned Public route are excluded.[1][2]
