Release notes

What changed

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

Preserved release-note state

Apple’s archived page labels this milestone as Beta 3 in its iOS 9 SDK documentation. The source contains 46 component headings, 56 status groups, and 100 leaf records in Apple’s preserved page; this article structures 43 high-signal records.[1]

How the milestone is bounded

No complete Beta 2 page survives in the audited archive. The Beta 3 delta therefore uses only Apple’s explicit fixed headings and its self-dating two-factor-authentication note; selected unresolved items are labeled as current state rather than additions.[2][3]

Selected coverage

The selection covers the explicit Beta 3 fixes, the self-dated two-factor-authentication addition, and selected current issues that later snapshots resolve. Repeated issues retain one stable identity as they move from a known state to Apple’s fixed section.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]

Editorial boundary

The article paraphrases the source in original language, preserves short technical names only where needed for identification, and claims neither exhaustive user-visible changes nor a build number. Beta 2 and GM remain timeline-only because the audited evidence does not isolate their release-note bodies.[47][48]
